Global EWpreneur?
So in the past few months, I’ve come across the following:
modelpreneur– models turned entrepreneurs
celebrepreneuer– celebritities turned entrepreneurs
puzzlepreneur– puzzle makers who are turning profits
webpreneurs– IT entrepreneurs
technopreneur– technology entrepreneurs
gourmetpreneur- gourmands turned entrepreneurs
pre-preneur– those who are not yet entrepreneurs
youthpreneur— a youth entrepreneur
I’m wondering if all these conjugated words are muddling the definition and concept of entrepreneurship. I’d love your thoughts; plus I think we should create a list of xxxxx-preneurs. Your suggestions?

I have heard:
Foodpreneur - An entrepreneur who focuses on food (this is what I thought was a chef).
and
Mompreneur - An entrepreneurial mother (this is what I thought was a Mom).

A musician by the name of Rob Anthony (robanthonymusic.com) has coined the term “Musopreneur” for musicians who also happen to have the entrepreneurial mindset!
