Seven Top Differences Between Entrepreneurs and Businessmen

Entrepreneurs and businessmen are most of the time interchangeably used. I too happen to be guilty of using one or even the another sometimes. However, Personally i think that there is a significant difference between the way entrepreneurs run their venture and businesses run their operation. Entrepreneurship is about assuming risk and accepting whatever rewards or failures that occur subsequently. A businessman on the other hand follows a well known path and takes lesser risk than an entrepreneur.Let's explore some of the points where entrepreneurship is different from running the company.

Entrepreneur are in the business of creating new things
The reason for business is to recycle these products. Hence business is a lot more like trading. By trading I mean purchasing goods from one place and selling at the other. This may also involve manufacturing at some step but the fundamental principal remains the same. Entrepreneurs create new things. They identify a problem and try to create innovative solutions which help reduce and sometimes eliminate problems. Even if they are doing trading, they will apply innovative methods to it. Let me give you an example. If the owner of retail chain is adding internet sales among his channel, he's just as being a businessman trying to find new ways of getting good business. However if he goes an creates a cutting-edge product that never existed before, he's being an entrepreneur. Here, he has taken the danger upon himself.
Entrepreneur's "Business" is unique
An entrepreneur won't operate in places that there's already a crowd. He will use his scarce money to understand more about new. He will for instance, choose new channels of sales( internet, m-commerce etc), innovative products ( a new software), innovative marketing strategies( viral marketing) etc. He side steps the market that is too competitive and works in a niche area.
Entrepreneur puts their own money first
Since people are not convinced of his ideas, entrepreneur has to put his cash on the line first. He needs to reveal that a market exists for the products he's creating. Then only he is able to get external finance. This really is as opposed to a regular business, where it is known that market exists and hence investors tend to be more prepared to invest in such businesses
Entrepreneurs working with new innovative products have more breakout chances
If the potential risks are high, so might be the rewards. An effective entrepreneur reaps more monetary benefits than his business counterpart. A normal business with lower risk can get lower returns around the capital it invests. The surety of making profit regular clients are more than that of entrepreneurship though.
Entrepreneurs experience more uncertainty than regular businesses
Entrepreneurship is definitely more riskier and uncertain than conducting a regular business. A business owner faces the question just about every day about success of his product, cost of developing the merchandise, customer's adoption, team motivation and everything else. There is uncertainty and un-evenness of sales. A regular business however has pretty much regular sales and it is less uncertain than an entrepreneurial venture
Entrepreneurs share businesses with team
Entrepreneurs develop vision and they canrrrt do it alone. So an entrepreneur constantly must remind his team and himself about what they're creating and why it will work. A business owner needs to always look for new methods to motivate the employees. The roles of employees change frequently in line with the perceived business conditions In business however, the roles of employees are same through the life time of the business
Entrepreneurs share the success with the team
Entrepreneurs do not have much cash to provide. Hence they offer equity to their employees. Once the venture is successful everyone that has a shares becomes rich. One of the prime example is Infosys technologies in Bangalore. It's created so many millionaires simply by distributing equities towards the founders and employees of the company. A business however is less available to sharing equity with employees and would pay higher salaries to pay for it.

I nowhere state that businesses can't be entrepreneurial or the other way around but that there's a significant differences between your way a entrepreneurial venture and a business works. A business however may become entrepreneur by doing something innovative while entrepreneur can help to eliminate the uncertainty when you are a lot more like a business.
