The businessman is working in a company owned by an entrepreneur!
When we do business, we can easily call ourselves business persons. Sometimes, we also call ourselves entrepreneurs, thinking that we are into the venture of entrepreneurship.

But when can we really call someone a businessman and how can we really identify a person as an entrepreneur? They just seem to be indifferent since they both own a business.
An entrepreneur is more innovative and revolutionary than the traditional businessman. But this dissimilarity is only one of the many divergences between a business person and an entrepreneur.
I do not think it is about mindset, but more about the field.
How much is the sufficient value you can add or provide to a product.
Not to mention that businessmen also create scheme based on the supervisor's approval, in this case they are restricted to 'groundbreaking' value if the boss doesn't approve.
Being a businessman is good. Being profit oriented, market player, business competitor, traditional, busy and active income earner is not bad since all business owners have been on those stages.
Even the successful entrepreneurs, before they succeed, have been into that. It is just that they have taken the right move to evolve into a better and even the best businessmen that they can be.
That is why they become not only businessmen, but rightfully they become entrepreneurs.
How about you?
Are you a businessman or an entrepreneur?
Are you merely doing business or are you taking it into a higher level, which is called entrepreneurship?

Entrepreneur to me is a cult word. I don't like to consider myself an entrepreneur because I don't want to be part of the VC cult. Don't want to be part of a billion dollar company. I'd rather build a boutique level business than join that cult. I hustle.
Very interesting read. I like to think of myself as an entrepreneur but those 'lines' are blurry. If you have shareholders etc. You are kinda restricted in what yiu can do.
I think I'm a bit of both and depending on situations, I might sometimes be a straight out businessman, especially dealing with commodities that are high in supply. I think to survive globalization, the ability to switch around being an entrepreneur and a businessman is important.
Businessmen have one goal === make a profit. That's the bottom line.
You can start a business and not be an entrepreneur. For example, when I was in high school, I worked at a Quiznos.
The guy who started it was a full-time employee for Intel or something, but he wanted to venture into owning a business.
But, the whole time he wasn't thinking about: "How can I make this experience better for the customer?"
Nope...it was just..."How can I save $.50 on my turkey?"
Entrepreneurs build to fill needs...that results in making money...not the other way around.
