 Openness to experience : This personality trait reflects the mindset which helps the
entrepreneur to try out new things, identifies their sensitivity for change etc. The factor
makes the entrepreneur able to take risk and handle situation.
 Conscientiousness : The conscientiousness people are organised and are conscious of

The background of a person reflects the situation that they have faced in their life. Such
situations motivates a person to achieve something in their life by working hard. Whereas the
experiences helps the person to tackle the situation and the challenges which are faced by them.
The background and experiences either motivates a person or demotivate them. In this the
background and experiences of two successful entrepreneur i.e., Richard Branson and J.K.
Rowling are considered which either have motivated them to or stops them (Radzi and Ali,
2017).
Family background, educational background and personal experience that supports
entrepreneurship
Richard Branson belongs to a educated family but he himself did not performed well in
academics and left school at the age of 16 and was always interested in business due Branson
started youth magazine. As his family was educated so they supported him to expand their
business by helping him financially and morally. He was more interested in extracurricular
activities when he was in school which is why he keep on introducing various innovative
services in their business as they motivates them to do so (Peters and Kallmuenzer, 2018).
J.K. Rowling also belongs to an educated family but she had ambition to write. Her
mother praised her when she was wrote her first book at the age of 6 which motivated her to
keep on writing. She got the ides of Harry porter when she was travelling by train where she
drafted all the characters and the plot. The success of the book motivated her to keep on writing
12

due to which she wrote seven parts. The Book of J.K. Rowling was rejected by so many
publishers initially but she did not give up and kept trying then she found a small publisher.
Example: Mark Zuckerberg family did not support them to become an successful entrepreneurs.
To open Facebook he collect funds from his friend Eduardo Saverin because he believe that
through this business he will be able to earn money in the near future.
Example: Mark Zuckerberg did not complete his Ha-ward University degree despite of this he
turn out to be successfully entrepreneur in today's this because Mark was passionate about this
business from the early days. Education is the way through which person can grow in their career
graph. Without education it is difficult to operate business at large scale because entrepreneur
need to understand every aspect of the market as well as their policies. It is difficult for a
illiterate or less educated to understand all this thing properly and operate their business.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion it can be ended that entrepreneurial venture contribute largely
in growth of the economy. They are the pillars of the national economy as huge job opportunity
is created as well as poverty is eliminated from the society. Difference between entrepreneur and
business manager is discussed so that their skills, characteristic etc. can be better understood in
every aspect. Moreover, macro environment contributing to the UK economy is deeply studied
so that future plans can be designed for better outcomes.
