I tend to feel as though the word "entrepreneur" might just be better left to die altogether. It's a title for people who aren't title people.
When you get down to what early economists were thinking when they coined the term, it seems to me like it's about giving it a shot in the face of uncertainty, rather than about the type of work (or even the work's success). (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Cantillon)
If you're selling underwear subscriptions, calling yourself a weekend-website "CEO" or taking silly seed investment to avoid missing paychecks, maybe you're not really risking.
You don't need to come up a title for that - you kinda already know it's not the same thing.
