Roughly 2~5% of the total#of words you have on said page for one particular keyword is the generally accepted practice.

If my primary keyword was "business trends," it'd also be a great idea to focus on other secondary keywords like "local business trends," "technology business trends," "marketing business trends," etc. Go crazy on this, because you'll benefit from it. The idea is to spread as wide of a net as possible when you're thinking about the intent of the random surfer on the web - while still staying relevant on your blog post, and not be spammy and annoying to read.

Again, you wouldn't want business or trends to take up over 2~5% of the total page content, because that seems to be the rough threshold for Google to say that you're keyword stuffing. So if it were a 500 word post, don't say the word "business" or "trends" over 10~25 times. Well, where do you fall? 10 or 25? That depends on how much Google trusts you and your site. That's another topic on its own.
