The difference between businessman and entrepreneur

[Synchronice]

To be honest, for me, they are both businessmen but if we really want to talk about the difference between them, then I'd say that businessmen are people who start a business that follows old practices, their aim is to lower risks and create a business in something that's already well-established but entrepreneurs try to start something new and innovative.
A brief example would be to say that businessman creates a bicycle the way it's originally created but entrepreneur tries to create a new bicycle, more different and innovative.

There is no way of differentiating Businessman from an Enterpreneur they are both the same thing, what you did here is to mix too many grammars just to prove point whereas there is no difference, browsing on it google always has an answer to give but focused on the two terms they both involve managing a business, if you agree with me you can't be a good enterpreneur if you don't know about how the business works.

Businessman and Entrepreneur both should have fundamental knowledge about the business. Just like going to a car dealer to purchase a vehicle, you don't meet the owner at times but those who are there to sell you the vehicle will give you details concerning exact vehicle you want to purchase because they know about what they are dealing on business, there is no difference from my POV, all that matters is having knowledge to defend what you manage.

Agree with you - the main focus of both is different. Entrepreneurs focus on innovation and they will try to develop it and usually they tend to be more daring in taking risks. Businessmen are different - their focus is on profitability by considering lower risks and managing them well so that their business can run smoothly and sustainably.

Both are in the business world - but an entrepreneur seems more likely to be described as someone who innovates and invents new things. While a businessman is more likely to be described as a manager in a business whose main focus is to make a profit.

Well for me I do think a entrepreneur can also be like a businessman. The businessman is a man that works in a business and he does make alot of money doing what he does.

But there is a different thing for a entrepreneur. This is a man that does want to make new things and does have new ideas. And then the businessman can do them.

There's a so much difference between the two of them mate. A business man is someone who ventures into already existing business ideas and manages it very well to make profits for himself on the long run. The entrepreneur on the other hand, is someone who tries to think outside the box. He gets innovative and creates new business ideas to see if they would work out. He literally takes more risk than the business man who only needs to get a good location settings for his products. The entrepreneur needs to carry out many research on what the consumer would like but don't have around them.

There is too much difference between businessman and entrepreneur but here OP trying to mix things which are also good because with this here members will be able to find many new things and real time difference between them.
Entrepreneur is always looking for new ways and challenges which make things easier for businessmen because just because of his research and new ideas they are able to increase their profit and have flexible solutions as well but still mostly businessmen stay in limelight because they are having enough sources to make things easy.
Many examples in current world while things are managing by entrepreneur give soft features and better things to peoples because they always stay in hunt for this while businessmen always work for increasing their profit.

I don't see a difference between an entrepreneur and a businessman. Everything you said an entrepreneur does, a businessman does, too, and vice versa.  Theres no need for the defernciation.
I can say the richest people in the world, like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, are entrepreneurs, and I can also call them businessmen.
An entrepreneur is someone who has their own business, and we can call a person who has a business a businessman.

Yes, an entrepreneur and a businessman are two different terms but they have distinct roles and mindsets. Both have a similarity to make their lifestyle and improve their livelihood. An entrepreneur is an individual who has a passion to create something new and takes risks to develop new products, services or business ideas. Entrepreneurs has potential to make difference and revolutionize the industry. They can bear more risks as they are willing to do any innovation so they could make high rewards.
But a businessman invest in his existing business to grow it. A businessman also takes risks but after critical thinking and closely observing what's he is going to do. A businessman believes in steady and long term returns than an entrepreneur who pursue high risk and then high reward opprtunities. Both have their important roles in society but their mindsets make a significant difference.

That is what we think that there is no difference for both of them but if we are going to break it down, there are differences for both of them. But this is not even a matter at all. Because whether we believe that they're the same or not, there is not a problem that we should be worrying at all. And for us, if we think that we're classified as one of them, that's on us and it is not a biggie for as long as we can say that we're one good of them.

There's slight difference so to speak. But I like best, the criteria of their goal. Businessman wants to earn profit and grow business. Whereas, entrepreneur is willing to solve problems, bring change, and create impact. That alone, will give you a glimpse of how they work, they may work to earn money but there's certain degree of how they would want to achieve it. And you will see the degree of how they impact the community. It is like saying, entrepreneur has some sort of concern to the community he is involved with. While businessman, is just all about the money that matters to him.

[Onyeeze]

There's no much difference between entrepreneur and the businessman because both of them is in the same line of business both of them also is a risk taker so the past through almost the same thing in the line of business they do but saying entrepreneur is much different from a businessman ages left for you and it is based on your own personal research of business man and entrepreneur, so in business the most undergo risk before you make a profit for entrepreneurs also they also undergo risk before they make a huge profit

Yeah, they both work to make money but an entrepreneur has a mission and it's more than earning money. They are solving real world problems and providing solutions to what they can see. At some point, these people have possibly started as a businessman, but they have found their passion and purpose, and so, all they want to do is to make sure that while they are earning there won't be that much issue in that purpose so that they can still help and at the same time they can sustain the kind of living they have through what they have been working with.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUSINESSMAN AND ENTREPRENEUR

The terms "businessman" and "entrepreneur" often  get use in a circle as if they have same meaning, actually they represent different mindsets and ideas. Let’s break down the key differences between the two:
   

In as much as we try to break these two aspect of business down, they share few difference and similarities too. I will just point out a very salient point out on an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is about growth. It concern it self with the growth of whatever is around or it is involved in. To go direct, a man or woman who is called an entrepreneur is just like a goldsmith who refines and repairs gold to look the way it is looking.. Whereas, a business person is particular about profit margin, he is always looking out for what he or she will profit but not worried about the means to get the product or utility for the consumer. This is what the entrepreneur does, the utility of the consumer on the product is equally important and that is why an entrepreneur retains more customer, friendship and relationship with others, gets more apprenticeship.

You can have an entrepreneur who is also a business man but not all business man is entrepreneur. Some people are roadside business men. They attach themselves to entrepreneur, only interested in the profit they are running after.

[Pi-network314159]

To me there is no much different between businessman and entrepreneur. Both seem to synonymous in meaning but have different pronunciation. Most times we get confused by the meaning of some things because of the way they sound But pahaps they are thesame. What I am saying in esscens is that businessman and entrepreneur are thesame both do business to make profit. It could be that the business man is a local way of expressing a business person why the entrepreneur is a standard name to quantify a business personnel who has more understanding about business but all are seemingly thesame but have slight changes.

They're not the same, you can either be a businessman or an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is also a businessman but not all businessmen are entrepreneurs because being an entrepreneur means you'll have to be innovative and always looking for newer ways of doing what others are already doing. Is because of entrepreneur that he world is getting the shape that is making everything easier for us than how it was in the past. It's the entrepreneur that are inventing new ways of doing things hence they're still businessmen but they have evolved the way they do business and making the world to become an easy place for us to live. An entrepreneur is someone like Elon musk that's always looking for newer ways to already existing problems while a businessman are the business people that don't like to experiment but prefer the old ways of doing things.

A business man and a entrepreneur may look the same since they involve in doing business but the difference between them is in the are of their specialization which I think the entrepreneur is like the higher version of a business man since he focus on creating new ideas and innovations and investigation in the new discoveries while the business man is into businesses not like the who is more concerned on new ideas the business just get into any business of their choice they don't depend on creating new ideas they just go ahead with a business they noticed that is profitable to them they don't depend on creating new ideas or investing in new innovation like the entrepreneurs.

If you look at the objectives, they are basically the same, entrepreneurs and businessmen both sell goods or services to consumers. It is not wrong if you want to become a businessman to start your career by becoming an entrepreneur first. because basically it is the same, both sell goods or services. In short, the main difference between entrepreneurs and self-employed people lies in the focus, responsibility, and initiative they have in the business world.

If entrepreneurs focus on creativity and risk management. While entrepreneurs focus on innovation and creating added value through new solutions. In essence, all of these roles are important in the business world and have different roles in driving the economy in a place.

[AVE5]

Business person is someone who chases profits on existing opportunities and also gets exposed to the risks involved while entrepreneur person is a creative individual who discovers new ideals and thrives of resourceful researches for improvement of achieving it goal.
They're both aimed at earning rewards for service offers.

[franky1]

entrepreneur comes from old languages
it basically a person that takes risk starting an enterprise/business empire

its not as simple as just owning a business. its about investing into new ventures or opportunities in businesses. where they wish to innovate, grow and change the business to maximise their potential

a businessman just wants to run a business. however an entrepreneur is the problem solver that can see the potential of growing the businesses into an empire

you dont have to already have the business empire finished and done, to become a entrepreneur.. but if your main task/role/goal is to grow and expand the business, even from the start, then you are one

simply put
if your not growing your business or looking to expand its opportunities. your not an entrepreneur
