The aim of this article is to present a personal perspective in the decision-making process. This process consists of a managerial and a personal perspective. Although the managerial perspective is used, not many people realize that decisions are also made based on their inner nature. People evolve over time, and as their skills, abilities, or knowledge develop, they also evolve psychologically. Therefore, it is appropriate to note this factor and present it in more detail. The article focuses on entrepreneurs in small and medium-sized enterprises who therefore hold managerial positions and for whom the decision-making process falls within their competence. The research included a preliminary phase, which provided initial insight into the issue, and a main phase. It thus combined elements of mixed research, with quantitative research being conducted first, followed by qualitative research in the main phase. A total of 371 respondents from the Czech Republic participated in the first phase of the research, which took place in 2023. The following year 2024, these respondents were contacted again with a request for an interview that would provide a deeper insight into the issue. A total of 114 entrepreneurs from the first phase of the research were involved in the main research analysis. The results demonstrated that more than 90% of Czech respondents have sustainable entrepreneurship as a long-term goal. As a result of these qualitative interviews, it was found that a green future is mainly a topic for younger businessmen and businesswomen. With increasing age and the acquisition of experience and business expertise, they have a different perspective on the current situation.
