Are You a Trep?

Shall we start calling entrepreneurs treps instead.

In this post last October I joined Robert Jones and Rieva Lesonsky and a few others in a quest for a better word for “entrepreneur.” Robert started it with 5 reasons we need a new word for entrepreneurs and Rieva followed with what does it really mean to be an entrepreneur.

As far as I’m concerned we failed to come up with a better word.

A few days ago, however, somebody on Twitter called themselves a “trep.” I think that might just work. What if we started calling ourselves and other entrepreneurs treps?

Background: the word entrepreneur includes trep. And then there’s the word intrepid. Works for me. I’m a trep. How about you?

And if you’re that person who started with the word trep in Twitter, I’d like to know, so I can give you credit.
