In addition the Profit margin between an entrepreneur and a businessman or businesswoman also varies greatly. An entrepreneur makes a high profit while a businessman makes an average profit. This is because an entrepreneur creates an enterprise with a new idea, thus being the market leader resulting to high profits. In the other hand a businessman creates an enterprise with an existing idea thus making his place in the market resulting to average profits because of the competition that exists in the market.
Finally A businessman is just a business personnel but an entrepreneur is an entrepreneur, an organizer, a risk taker, a manager at the same time. The former focuses on competition, but the latter gives emphasis on coordination and cooperation of all the resources.
In any case anyone who wants to venture into business should purpose to be an entrepreneur and not a businessman.
