businessman

A person who is employed by an organization or company. Businessmen are often associated with white collar jobs. In order to avoid sexism or the perpetuation of stereotypes, the term is often replaced with “businessperson”. The term "businesswoman" is less commonly used.

If you own your own business and also have a stock portfolio, think about the two holistically. Lessons learned in each will help with the other; Warren Buffett said that he's a better businessman because he's an investor and a better investor because he's a businessman. Consider capital allocation, investment opportunities, diversification, tax consequences, and similar considerations of each in relation to the other.
