Deposit That Jeff Van Note The American Dream - a phrase first coined by James Truslow Adams in 1931, has grown significantly since its inception. The original meaning referred to a “dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement…” Today, Entrepreneurship is quickly replacing the original meaning of The American Dream. Going deeper, it is the psychological belief that Entrepreneurship provides freedom, sought out by the brave. Freedom which in 1814 Francis Scott Key authored the term for America as “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”, which also in 1931 became implemented by the singing of the National Anthem.In today’s world, not many are experiencing freedom. Americans are buried in debt, subject to increased costs of living with stagnant wages, usually at a 9-5 job they can’t stand but have to keep in order to put food on the table and a roof over head.
