This paper deals with the issue of entrepreneurship in the context of contemporary society and the vision about key qualities that people with an entrepreneurial spirit are manifesting in the thinking and behavior of budding entrereneurs. Entrepreneurs exist in every country but the nature and level of entrepreneurial activity differs remarkably. As more and more teaching and research into entrepreneurship reflects its often international nature, the need for literature reflecting this grows. At the same time, we will expose our opinion about the necessity of the development/creation/building of the entrepreneurship behaviour - understood as a person's ability to see opportunities where others only see possible problems or failures.
