How to remember

The kanji for 'business' or 'work' looks like a busy workshop. The bottom part is a 'tree' (木), perhaps representing materials or a workbench, while the intricate top half suggests many activities and processes happening, symbolizing the complexity of 'industry'.
'GYO' — Imagine a 'GYO-ing' concern, a bustling 'business' always 'going' forward. This also sounds like 'job' (じょぶ) if you stretch it a little.
