carve out a niche for oneself

[Madrid001]

Hello!

Can you please tell me if I'm using the idiom: carve out a niche for oneself correctly in the sentence below:


- When people start out their careers, their main goal is to carve out a niche for themselves in the business.


thank you!

It's fine. You use "the business" if you're talking about a particular business or industry. You drop "the" if you're talking about business in general, i.e. the business world.
