[[Benjamin Franklin]] was a successful entrepreneur, [[diplomat]], [[writer]], policy maker, [[polymath]] and one of our founding fathers. [http://technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DEZf9_g1F-3w]
The word entrepreneur is from the French: "''entrepedre''" to undertake, and originally applied to the director of a musical institution before the meaning broadened to its modern application. [[Joseph Schumpeter]], in his classic work ''Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy'', to explain the function of the entrepreneur sometimes used his native German term, ''"undertaker"'' or ''undertaker of an enterprise'', which didn't translate well into English. President [[George W. Bush]] once famously remarked: "''The trouble with the French is they don't have a word for 'entrepreneur.'''"
