    A businessman knows what is going on, a manager acts like he knows what is going on and an entrepeneur will make it his business to know what is going on.

    entrepreneur makes and leads his own business. Entrepreneur is at the same time a businessman, while not every businessman is an entrepreneur or a manager.
    Manager is usually employed by an entrepreneur to help run the business.
    They’re all businessmen.

    Here are the definitions for you:
    An entrepreneur is a person who undertakes and operates a new enterprise or venture and assumes some accountability for the inherent risks. The newly and modern view on entrepreneurial talent is a person who takes the risks involved to undertake a business venture. In doing so, they are said to efficiently and effectively use the factors of production.

    Entrepreneur: person who organizes, operates, and assumes the risk for a business venture

    man·ag·er

    An entrepreneur starts and builds companies, and may sell them off or release direct control so as to move on to build other businesses for similar purposes.

    A businessperson starts and builds companies and continue to retain control and work to sustain profitability and growth.

    A manager is someone who controls resources and expenditures

    A businessman owns his own business.

    A manager is under the “CEO” and doesn’t more management one-on-one with employee;s that the owner does.

    An Entrepreneur is someone who looks for business opportunities, invests in them, sells the business and moves on to the next best idea…
