MAIN BODY
Critically analyse what drives someone towards entrepreneur
Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg was born in 3 January 2003 in Stockholm,
Sweden and she is a daughter of Malena Emman her mother and Olof Thunberg her father. She
was promoting the humanity all across the world and for that she spread more knowledge about
the security and safety of the environment (Saebi, 2019). She is more known for the youth
activist and people get remember her for her straightforward nature of speaking. She not only
speaks in front of the public but in front of the well known political leaders. She present herself
in the assemblies as well at where she will provides her awareness about the different nature that
has been happen in the society of in the world. Greta will also criticise the leaders about their
failure as they didn’t take the adequate and required action to get address the different sight of
the climate crisis (Brush, 2019). She get worn the politician for her behaviour and the
inconvenient behaviour through which they are not taking steps to make the environment more
clean.
Her carrier as an entrepreneur will get started after she gets convinced her parents that
they give the permission to her to live the life as the way she wants to be. She insist that they
1

wants to live her life and adopts the lifestyle of her own choice as her motive is to reduce the
carbon footprint from the environment by which the climate become more clear. As the age of 15
years and in the August 2018, she quits to go to school and at that time she used to spend that by
standing outside the Swedish Parliament and holding up a boards clip with the slogan named as
Skolstrejk för klimatet (School strike for climate). She have been do that all to take the stronger
action to change the living prospect and to save the climate from all the uncertainties that has
been happening on random basis (Dupuis, 2018). As the time passes she engaged her school
students and classmates to get gather them with herself by whom the action could be converted
into the protest and it will be operates by the similar communities.
Thus after the period of time everyone were make a strike and create a collective moment and
named it as Fridays for Future. In the year 2018 she address herself in the United Nations
Climate Change Conference and take the moment all across the world and with that she spread
more awareness about the crisis that are more relative to the everyone as climate and surround is
more important to survive and it is common for all. As the day passes on more and more students
will get collected and result that to the mini protest and a million of people will get collect and
with that people try to get avoid the usage of flying as it result in the pollution that affects the
surround the most (Fayolle, 2018). She gets the sudden change and become more famous on
globally and her personality comes up with as the leader and she also become the biggest target
for the critics. With that the entire world comes up with her support and understands the different
impact on the environment and in this the media will also comes with her support. In this The
Guardian or the other newspaper as well and named that all activity as the "Greta effect". And
for her more knowledge and better efficiency she has received different awards as like getting
the honorary Fellowship of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, youngest time person of the
year, be in the time magazine's and in that counted as the 100 most influential people of the
world, 100 most powerful women in the Forbes list, also get nominated for the Nobel peace prize
for consecutive two times (Parker, 2018).
Factors have motivated them to become entrepreneurs:
 Get gritty: It is the perseverance and a positive attitude that expects to be an
entrepreneur and it is the ability to do everything in the life when other believes that
everything is end. When every other people quit in the life and didn’t get success after
that the entrepreneur start working on it and put all of their efforts to gain the better
2

achievements. They are more honest towards their work and make their own world at
where there are so many other people that start follows them. Greta Thunberg has that
zeal in her life and she is more committed towards the climate and puts her collective
efforts to with the youngest role she rule on whole world (Frederick, 2018).
 Challenge yourself: If a person wants to be a successful entrepreneur they always get
challenge themselves and understand that only the person itself who can push their limits
rather than else. It keeps the entrepreneur more nimble as if the person keep challenge
themselves and then try to gain the better knowledge and achieve all better heights by
crossing the challenge (Neck, 2018). The personalised challenge not depends on the body
weight it depends upon the zeal, focus and determination that an individual have. In this
Greta Thunberg comes with the issue that has been known by all but never be challenged
by anyone and in that she will try to bring the positive change within the society and
upraises the standard level of the country.
 Be passionate: If a person loves to do something then no one stops them to gain and for
that an individual spends a lot of time and sacrifices a lot of factors to get achieve
something within timely manner (Jones, 2020). A passionate person never gets affected
by any hurdle that comes in the way and always get motivates and never be tired and
stressed. In this Greta Thunberg has more passion that she present herself in front of the
audience and never get afraid of anyone clearly stands on her thoughts and also never get
hesitate while talking or presenting herself in front of any biggest politician or in the
assembly as well.
 Take risk: The entrepreneur always takes the risk and be focused to get achieved better
heights in the life and in that follow all the certainties and work with more zeal and
comfort. The same with the Greta Thunberg she never get in trouble and always be more
positive and try to attract the people and influence their behaviour as well under which
they will work with more fanaticism (Mitra, 2019). All the people must know more about
the climatic adverse effect and with that they know that pollution level has been crossed
and it is harmful for future generation but no one has that commit to take a prior stand but
in that Greta Thunberg will at the age of 15 she will be the leader and has collected a lot
of information about the climatic crisis and brings more clarity and worn the politician
that they must take the relative step to make the better change.

 Visualise goals: The entrepreneur has the goal and have a mindset of achieving the long
term target. They has the a bigger viewpoint that brings the huge change in the market
and under that try to be more compassion and tries to get work with more information. In
that Greta Thunberg has know that if the climate is not safe then the life, education
everything is a wastage (Julien, 2018). The people will use their knowledge if the earth
and climate remains same until the life become vanish and we didn’t do anything to safe
that.
Perspectives of entrepreneurial motivation from psychological, sociological and economic
disciplines
Entrepreneurial motivation is will helps the entrepreneur to make the better change and
by which the sprit has been maintain by which their actions remain more certain (Stuetzer,
2018). Motivation is the factor under which the individual will get addressed the different
changes within their own attitude and helps to gain the valuable outcomes within their collective
efforts. There are some different factors as like internal and external that brings commitment in
the prospects of life and by this they will make all their efforts to attain the target and goals.
Economic disciplines: It is the discipline in which the entrepreneurship and the economic both
will take simultaneously and in that the economic conditions become in the favour of an
entrepreneur. The economic factor is more important with that an entrepreneur becomes more
motivated and helps to take the beneficiary facilities that are in the favour of the growth of the
business (Kraus, 2019). These factors includes the incentive that furthermore includes the
taxation policy, source of funds, raw material, availability of resources, market investments,
accessibility of the information, technological usage etc. In this the Greta Thunberg will be more
connected as she get used her monthly pocket money and the different technical advancement
that will get purchased by them thus she has easy availability of the different resources.
Sociological disciplines: It is a discipline in which the ethnic group helps to maintain the
business enterprise with more achievable structure. It is more relative to the self helps and to
recognise the ability of its own and that collectively result to be a better and stronger
entrepreneur (Kyrö, 2018). In this Greta Thunberg has a strong courage and more confidence that
never resist her and she never saw back always looks front and move forwards to achieve the
goals that is more relative to the helps her to always works with the same attitude. As the time
4

passes the people also get collected with her and listen her carefully by which the more suitable
benefit will get generated within the form of betterment of society.
Psychological disciplines: It is the a factor that get boost the entrepreneur as they get the
support from the society and with that the entrepreneur get the easy supply of the different and
needed characteristics. It includes the different needs of high achievements or the ability to get
fight from the different uncertainties that are operated in the market, helps to provide the
foresight to an entrepreneur. It helps to get induce the strength that provides more concern about
the self reliance and estimation that they could gain all valuable outcomes. It innovate the
entrepreneur and making the different innovation (Kuratko, 2018). The Greta Thunberg has get
the better support from all the different not from her own friends, family but she get a support
from all across the world and it is more important to keep doing what she wants to do.

the development of the society as they bring the positive change within the society with their
collective efforts. It is so important that aspect for the society as the entrepreneur as like Greta
Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg brings the positivity within the society and try to impart more
