The research revealed that training courses, seminars, business competitions, financial/monetary support, youth motivation, sharing success stories, experiences of professional entrepreneurs and dissemination of the Internet entrepreneurship information are major techniques fostering young people to create the Internet businesses; whereas the main problems faced by young persons willing to create the Internet business are these: the lack of motivation and self-confidence, the fear of risk, passivity, the lack of courage, ideas and skills, poor state funding, the lack of initial capital and funds and a shortage of counsellors.


Introduction
Entrepreneurship is one of key factors influencing economic growth and having a strong impact on the country's development, the creation of new workplaces and social stability.Recently, in Lithuania and some foreign countries, considerable attention is focused on investigating the entrepreneurship problem.Numerous researchers discuss the abilities and personality traits that are distinctive features of a business-like personality (McCarthy, 2000, Strazdienė, 2009).Lithuanian researchers also analyse distinctive features and abilities of an Statistical method Statistical analysis methods were used to process the obtained research data: descriptive statistics (statistical averages, standard deviations); the Student's t criterion (to compare two independent variables).The percentage distribution (frequency) was estimated as well.Statistical data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 14.

Results and discussion
This research expands the findings of other researches, since there is a lack of researches analysing the Internet business creation opportunities and problems and revealing the factors affecting the Internet business creation.As noted by Hoag (2005) and McKelvey (2001), the Internet entrepreneurship is perceived as a concept using a global network in order to record innovation processes.The Internet business is created in a small-scale enterprise, the activity of which contributes to the Internet marketplace innovation.On the basis of McCarthy ( 2000), Raffo and others, (2000), Strazdienė (2009), Gibb, Nelson (1996), Rea and others (1997), Galloway andothers, (2005), Drucker, (1985) and Henry (2003) Timmons (2003), various personality traits peculiar to business persons were analysed.Business people could be defined as people who have the following personality traits: a high level of intrinsic motivation, the need to pursue goals and the tendency to control the situation.Furthermore, psychological factors are of key importance to business people as well.Initiative should be one of key personality traits, which could help them motivate subordinates and "label" them as energetic persons.Other traits are critical thinking and assessment, since when organizing one's own business or teamwork it is necessary to regularly gather information, analyse it objectively, observe/discern opportunities, assess alternative solutions, make decisions and implement innovations.The research results revealed that the major part of the research participants defined entrepreneurship as a personal ability to convert ideas into activities and related entrepreneurship to creativity, seeking innovation, readiness to risk and the ability to plan and manage projects in order to pursue fixed goals.

Theoretical aspect of entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship and the Internet .The concept of entrepreneurship was first used in the 17th century.Some scientists consider it as your own business.In the 20th century Joseph Schumpeter, an economist, admitted that entrepreneurship was related to innovation and changes.He considered entrepreneurship as "the creative destruction force".Peter Drucker (1909Drucker ( -2005)), a business expert, described an entrepreneur as a person searching for changes, reacting to them and looking for new opportunities.Those changes started with the invention of a typewriter and moved towards the computer and internet.Recently, numerous economists support the opinion that entrepreneurship is an integral part fostering economic growth and employment opportunities.In the developing world a successful small-scale business is kind of a primary engine in the spheres of workplace creation, revenue growth and poverty reduction.Therefore, the government support towards entrepreneurship is the key strategy of economic development.
Entrepreneurship is related to the ability to discover new opportunities, the ability to self-realization and the economic or social value creation.Entrepreneurship is a qualitative social feature, which determines the ability of a person or society to create and develop business and innovation.Entrepreneurship is related to a personal motivation focused on discovering and exploiting opportunities, creating a new added value and developing a successful business.Recently, a major factor determining economic development is the application of technologies and innovative ideas in business processes.Knowledge, creativity and competence in a global economy are not less important than the amount of capital.In less than 10 years Google and Microsoft became the most powerful companies.As market is becoming more global, a local market is losing its significance for the implementation of business ideas.Therefore, new information technologies may emerge in distant regions that are open to innovation.For example, Skype -a free internet call service, which is popular all over the world, emerged in Estonia.Reynolds (2005).
Entrepreneurship -the entrepreneurial function-can be conceptualized as the discovery of opportunities and the subsequent creation of new economic activity, often via the creation of a new organization.

Schumpeterian (1947)
Entrepreneurship is the creation of technologically dynamic, high-value added, high growth firms, with which this volume as a whole is mainly concerned --is intimately linked to creativity and defined in this broad fashion.Miller (1983) Entrepreneurial behaviour is seen as behaviour that manages to combine innovation, risktaking and pro activeness.Shah, Tripsas (2007) User entrepreneurship is the commercialization of a new product or service by an individual or group of individuals who are also users of that product or service.'Kuratko, Hodgetts (2004) Entrepreneurship is a dynamic process of vision, change, and creation.It requires an application of energy and passion towards the creation and implementation of new ideas and creative solutions.Essential ingredients include the willingness to take calculated risks ¾ in terms of time, equity, or career; the ability to formulate an effective venture team; the creative skill to marshall needed resources; and the fundamental skill of building a solid business plan; and finally, the vision to recognize the opportunity where others see chaos, contradiction, and confusion.Santhi, Kumar (2011) Entrepreneurship is the act of being an entrepreneur, which can be defined as "one who undertakes innovations, finance and business acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods"  Hoag (2005)."Media entrepreneurship is "the creation and ownership of a small enterprise or organization whose activity adds at least one voice or innovation to the media marketplace.

Shane (2000)
Entrepreneurship is "the interaction between individuals and those opportunities."

McKelvey (2001)
Internet entrepreneurship as a concept that uses a global network in order to capture the potentially worldwide distributed nature of innovation processes involving knowledgeintensive products in the modern economy.Rivetti, Migliacci (2015) Entrepreneurial motives are certainly not of a financial nature.The realization of a high quality product, in the theatre, usually do not ensure significant economic returns; this happens instead for more Commercial products, designed in order to capture the broadest public as possible.

Pather (2015)
Entrepreneurship is one of the most important driving forces of regional development.
Factors enhancing sustainability of entrepreneurial activities are being elaborated by scientists, policy makers, market participants and other stakeholders.
Encouraging entrepreneurship is particularly important to face challenges related to alarmingly high youth unemployment rates in most of the EU Member States.Entrepreneurship and self-employment offer pathways for young people to emerge from unemployment.In this context, special attention is paid to the social entrepreneurship model, which is embedded in the real economy, close to people and to local communities, and primarily aimed at contributing to the general good of society.For an entrepreneur it is important to understand the entrepreneurial process dynamics through an understanding of the values, characteristics and actions of the entrepreneur over time.Nassif, Ghobril, da Silva (2010) stated that Bygrave (2004) propose a model that highlights the personal attributes and environmental factors that influence the venture at each stage.Bygrave (2004) shows that the entrepreneurial process as a set of stages and events that follow one another.These stages are: the idea or conception of the business, the event that triggers the operations, implementation and growth.
Business expert Drucker (1909Drucker ( -2005) ) describing the entrepreneur as someone who actually searches for change, responds to it, and exploits change as an opportunity.A quick look at changes in communications-from typewriters to personal computers to the Internet-illustrates these ideas.Internet is a burgeoning phenomenon Why is entrepreneurship in internet beneficial to an economy?How can governments encourage entrepreneurship, and, with it, economic growth?Entrepreneurs create new businesses, generating jobs for themselves and those they employ.In many cases, entrepreneurial activity increases competition and, with technological or operational changes, it can increase productivity as well.Entrepreneurs have ideas to test, and some knowledge and competence to run the business, but they also need complementary resources to produce and deliver their goods or services (Teece, 1987).They get knowledge, and access to distribution channels through their social networks.Entrepreneurs are also linked to people and organizations that interact among themselves, and these contacts can widen the availability of resources that sustain a new firm (Hansen, 1995).
Networks have several useful properties for entrepreneurs.The first property is size.Entrepreneurs can increase networks to get crucial information and other resources from knowledgeable others.The second is positioning.Entrepreneurs position themselves within a social network to shorten the path to knowledgeable others to get what they need (Burt, 1992).The third is a relationship structure.Social contacts may be related to the entrepreneur or to each other through several types of relations or interactions.
As stated Morgan-Thomas & Reuber (2013) Amazon, Google, eBay and Facebook are well-known examples of the accelerated internationalisation that can accompany a dominant online firm.Their spectacular rise from obscurity to the top of global rankings with market valuations in billions (Financial Times 2009) rescales what is normally meant by "international entrepreneurship" or "born global".Collectivley, they highlight both the entrepreneurial opportunities afforded by ICTs and the continuing importance of internationalisation in facilitating business growth.Reuber, Fischer (2010) stated that despite the increasing numbers of businesses that are currently using the internet to pursue international opportunities, and the latent potential for such activity from rising internet adoption levels, the IE literature has paid limited attention to the phenomenon.Kende (2015) agrees that the most important impact of the Internet for entrepreneurs is the creation of a whole new segment of internet startups, which are able to target a global market of nearly 3 billion Internet users while incurring low distribution costs.The largest of these startups, including Google and Facebook, are now taking their place among the most powerful companies in the world.Google provides a classic example of the benefits of Silicon Valley as an innovation-fostering cluster.Founders Page and Brin met as students at Stanford University in 1995, where they started Google two years later.They developed a new type of search engine during their academic research and ran it on the Stanford servers until it overwhelmed the campus network.As stated Lai (2010), the story of Alibaba demonstrates a credible example of how a mall start-up company can eventually make it big in the global economy through the Internet.Alibaba has successfully transformed itself over the years adapting to the changes in and demands of online businessto-business (B2B) commerce.

Abilities, skills and personality traits of a business person
Labour productivity of a business person most frequently depends on his personality traits.According to the personality trait theories, personal characteristics are comparatively stable and recurring in various situations.Scientists when investigating entrepreneurial skills and traits usually consider why some individuals are more entrepreneurial than others.Scientific literature highlights the following entrepreneurial skills: initiative, self-confidence, critical thinking, striving for perfection, creativity, independence and steadfastness in seeking goals.Numerous scientists discuss the abilities and personality traits peculiar to the entrepreneurial personality (McCarthy, 2000, Strazdienė, 2009), as well as discern the abilities necessary for establishing a business enterprise or working in an organization (Gibb, Nelson, 1996;Galloway, Anderson, Wilson, 2005, Strazdienė, 2009).According to the majority of scientists, people of the business world show initiative, search for opportunities and impact the environment rather than respond to changes (Drucker, 1985).As noted by Henry, Hill, Leitch (2003), those individuals are constantly seeking for short-term gains and tend to compete with each other.Timmons, Spinelli (2003) when generalizing personality traits highlighted in psychological literature, discerned key acquired characteristics that are of utmost importance to an entrepreneur: the ultimate liability, perseverance, seeking for perfection, goal orientation and opportunities, initiative, responsibility, correct belief, a sense of humour, searching for feedback, controlling the situation, tolerance for uncertainty, stress and vagueness, risk-taking and risk-sharing, a higher position and rank are not relevant, respectability and reliability, non-procrastination and patience, learning form mistakes, the ability to build a team and inspire personalities.
Over many years, various personality traits peculiar to businessmen were investigated.Some researchers highlighted orientations character-based personality traits, including a high level of intrinsic motivation, pursuing fixed goals and the ability to control situations.However, most frequently scientific literature emphasized the impact of psychological characteristics on the people of the business world.According to scientists, initiative should be one of major characteristics of people in business, which could help them motivate subordinates and "label" businessmen as energetic persons.Other traits -critical thinking and assessment; when organizing one's own business or collective work it is necessary to regularly collect information, analyse it objectively, observe/discern opportunities, assess alternative solutions, make decisions and implement innovations.Risk -taking behaviour is defined as responding to challenges in uncertain situations that require solutions.As stated by Henry, Hill, Leitch (2003), risk -taking is the key trait that distinguishes people of the business world from other individuals.It should be admitted that business persons tend to take moderate (reasonable) risks in the situations, which involve a certain degree of risk or might be profitable.Numerous scientists (Drucker, 1985, Timmons, Spinelli, 2003, Koh, 1996, Strazdienė, 2009) investigated creativity and innovation, key traits of an entrepreneur.According to the scientists, people in business have unconventional thinking, they are not afraid to face challenges and are flexible in solving complex problems.Therefore, business persons should have unconventional thinking in taking solutions of different types.However, some scientists admit that the entrepreneurial personality should be optimistic and self-confident, since this helps solve complex situations.He should also have leadership skills, provide new ideas, respond quickly to complex situations and take appropriate solutions.People of the business world should remain steadfast in most unexpected situations, which helps them achieve fixed goals.As stated by Cromie (2000), people of the business world appreciate individualism and freedom other than individuals of different spheres of activity, they do not like to observe rules and fixed social standards.According to other scientists (Kirby, 2004), people in business have a strongly expressed intuition and rational thinking.Considering the above mentioned theories, it should be noted that these individuals give priority to intuition, which is based on general understanding and constructive problem solving rather than analytical approach based on the attention to detail and rules observance.
After generalizing the research data it should be admitted that major factors determining success in the business world are these: initiative, self-confidence, critical thinking, searching for perfection, risk taking, creativity, controlling the situation, innovation, independence, perseverance, goal seeking and leadership.People of the business world should be creative, take new solutions, estimate the existing situation, foresee possible changes, allocate the sources of their own and of individuals working in their team; on the other hand, entrepreneurship is considered as an emerging opportunity to create something from nothing.This requires quick thinking, initiative, creativity, quick response to changes, searching for changes and converting them to benefits.

Analysis of the research results
Entrepreneurship concepts: research participants' attitudes.Entrepreneurship concept is inseparable from business and the concept of entrepreneur.Therefore, entrepreneurship is usually defined as the abilities necessary to establish and develop business considering not only certain personality traits but also skills and competences necessary for carrying out business activities.According to most scientists (McCarthy, 2000, Strazdienė, 2009), starting and managing a business requires certain personality traits and subject-specific skills, such as creative thinking, risk taking, initiative, independence, management skills and other exceptional and unique qualities and personality traits necessary for people of the business world.Strazdienė ( 2009), after generalizing the attitudes of foreign scientists, admits that entrepreneurship is an individual's own way of thinking, a set of technical, social, professional and personal competences covering personality traits, abilities and knowledge that are necessary for creating and self-improvement.
The research results revealed that the major part of the research participants (N= 56 (74.7 percent) defined entrepreneurship as a personal ability to convert ideas into activities and they related entrepreneurship to personal creativity, seeking innovation, readiness to risk and the ability to plan and manage projects in order to pursue fixed goals.The research found out that a small proportion of the research participants (N=10 (13.3 percent) defined entrepreneurship as profit seeking through carrying out economic activities and creating capital for business owners.It was identified that the smallest proportion of the research participants defined entrepreneurship as the attitude of a young person, his skills and knowledge that allow him to discern the opportunity to create added value (social and economic value) and all the factors oriented towards this opportunity (N=8 (10.7 percent), as well as personal and subject-specific potential of an individual guaranteeing innovative and active activities in a rapidly changing environment (N=1 (1.3 percent).
The assessment of the study process organization aimed at training specialists ready to create the Internet business: the research participants' attitude.In this rapidly changing society the existing situation fosters educational institutions to more flexibly respond to the environmental and society's needs and develop entrepreneurial skills considering economic, technological and social changes.In the world of rapid changes professional knowledge and skills are as important as general competences.Professional development should be in line with the development/self-development of certain skills and abilities.In order to identify the research participants' attitudes on which study methods could foster entrepreneurship, they were provided with the 4 point agree-disagree scale, where 1 = disagree and 4 = completely agree.The generalized research results are provided in Figure 2 Table 2 (see below).
According to the respondents, entrepreneurial skills could be fostered by group discussions (M=3.22) and using group work activities (M=3.12).Respondents admitted that the Internet entrepreneurship could be fostered in seminars (M=3.2) (see Figure 2).A similar situation emerged when assessing the methods of case analysis and analysis, the application of which in the study process fosters the Internet entrepreneurship to a lesser degree (see Table 2).After carrying out the statistical data analysis of the teaching/learning methods that foster the Internet entrepreneurship, the assessment variables were identified in the group of individuals planning to establish the Internet business and those who were not planning to establish it.After estimating the Student's ttest, it was found out that significantly higher average indicators (see .When assessing other teaching/learning methods, fostering the Internet entrepreneurship, significant differences in the groups of respondents planning to establish the Internet business and those who were not planning to establish it were not identified (see Table 3).

Seeking to find out the opinion of respondents on what measures could help develop entrepreneurial skills in higher school learners, the 5 point agree-disagree scale was provided, where 1 = completely disagree; 5 = completely agree. The generalized research results are provided in Figure 3 Table 4.
As evident from the research results (see Figure 3), entrepreneurial skills in higher school learners can be encouraged by practices carried out in business enterprises (M=4.4) and the ability to cooperate with experienced entrepreneurs (M=4.35).As stated by the research participants, seminars with practical task performance (M=4.07) and the experience of teachers (M=4.04) could contribute to the entrepreneurial skills development.A more detailed analysis of techniques aimed at fostering the entrepreneurial skills in higher school learners showed (see Table 4) that the majority of the research participants admitted that key techniques that help develop entrepreneurial skills are these: practice in business enterprises (respectively: completely agree (38 (50.7 percent)) while agree (29 (38.7 percent)).A similar situation was identified when assessing cooperation with experienced entrepreneurs (respectively, completely agree (33 (44 percent)), while agree (35 (46.7 percent), the fostering of which, in the respondents' opinion, could help develop entrepreneurial skills.However, it should be noted that according to the responses of almost half of respondents, entrepreneurial skills could be fostered by seminars and practicals (completely agree: 21 (28 percent, respectively)) and agree (39 (52 percent)), as well as practical experience of teachers (completely agree (19 (25.7 percent)) and agree (39 (52.7 percent)).As evident form the research results, theoretical experience of teachers and studies by the ERASMUS + programme to a lesser degree help develop entrepreneurial skills in higher school learners.The assessment of the elements of the Internet entrepreneurship.The research was aimed at finding out what principles, regarding the Internet business, were prevalent in the research participants.In order to identify the Internet entrepreneurship, respondents were provided with the 5 point Likert scale (agree-disagree), where 1 = completely disagree, 5 = completely agree.The research results demonstrate that the majority of respondents assert that the Internet entrepreneurship depends on such elements as activeness (M=4.51),receptivity to the internet innovation (M=4.47) and the ability to take solutions (M=4.46).As seen from the research results, such features as theoretical knowledge on the Internet business (M=3.88),the art of communication on the Internet (M=3.91) and the lifestyle based on an individual's own planning (M=3.99) were assessed with the lowest average values (see Figure 4).The obtained analysis revealed the assessment variables of the elements of the Internet entrepreneurship in the group of individuals planning to establish the Internet business and those who were not planning to establish it (see Table 5).As evident from the research results, most elements of the Internet entrepreneurship were assessed almost equally by individuals planning to establish the Internet business and those who were not planning to establish it.However, after estimating the Student's t test, a statistical data analysis showed that the average values of individuals planning to establish the Internet business were significantly higher in these scales: good knowledge on the Internet and social networks (M=4.42,SD=0.7), receptivity to the Internet innovation (M=4.56,SD=0.6), the ability to attract and bring people together for common activities (M=4.51,SD=0.68) and logical thinking (M=4.47,SD=0.6), because these characteristics were assessed by those participants who were not planning to establish the Internet business (respectively: good knowledge on the Internet and social networks (M=3.86,SD=0.95), receptivity to the Internet innovation (M=4.14, SD=0.66), the ability to attract and bring people together for common activities (M=4.07,SD=0.92), logical thinking (M=4.06,SD=1.14)).
After estimating the Student's t-criterion, it was identified that statistically significant (t=-1.905,p=0.005) average variables demonstrate that individuals who were not planning to establish the Internet business provided higher indicators in the scale of management skills (M=4.34,SD=0.54) compared to those who were planning to establish it, while in the latter group lower indicators were provided in the scale of management skills (M=4.34,SD=0.54).As evident from the research results, respondents who were planning to establish the Internet business provided higher indicators in the scales of the following elements of the Internet entrepreneurship: the ability to take solutions, theoretical knowledge on the Internet, time planning, forecasting, predicting the future, intuition, the art of communication on the Internet, positive thinking and active action, since these elements were assessed by those who were not planning to start the Internet business; however, their indicators did not differ significantly (see Table 5).The assessment of skills and personality traits peculiar to a business person.In the era of accelerated technological progress as well as the development of small-scale, large-scale and the Internet business, the specialists of specific personality traits, skills and abilities are in great demand.Recently, the most successful individuals are those who have exceptional abilities, including entrepreneurial skills.Entrepreneurship is the way of thinking, personality traits, technical and management skills that allow to apply the obtained knowledge in practice and establish one's own business.Technical skills include written and verbal communication, the ability to handle different computer programmes, use information sources and posses organizational skills.Entrepreneurial skills cover personal abilities, problem solving and taking suitable decisions, negotiating, working in a team, planning.Most scientists (McCarthy, 2000, Cromie, 2000, Kirby, 2004, Strazdienė, 2009) discern particular traits and abilities peculiar to businessmen and highlight these traits: creativity, risk taking, initiative, innovation, intuition, independence and other unique traits and abilities that are of utmost importance to people of the business world.Therefore, the business environment requires specific qualities and traits that should exist in people in business: perseverance, responsibility, independence, creativity, activeness, the ability to compete, etc.In order to identify which personality traits, abilities and features should be present in businessmen the research participants were provided with the 5 point agree-disagree scale, where 1 = completely disagree; 5 = completely agree.
After analysing the research results it was identified that according to the research participants' opinion, the traits of major importance were these: activeness (M=4.66),communication (M=4.64) and diligence (M=4.63).As noted by the research participants, a business person should be motivated (M=4.72) and responsible (M=4.71).It was found out that the highest average values were in the scales of abilities and skills related to maintaining relationships, activeness in pursuing goals, a high level of personal motivation and responsibility for task performance.However, the research results show that people of the business world should show initiative (M=4.59),be creative (M=4.58),persistent (M=4.59),capable to create and develop business (M=4.59)and make appropriate decisions (M=4.57).The above mentioned skills, abilities and personality traits are of utmost importance for establishing and developing business.As seen from the research results, a smaller number of respondents related such traits, abilities and skills as the ability to create workplaces (M=3.97),tolerance (M=4.09) and profit seeking (M=4.21) to characteristics peculiar for people in business; the latter abilities, skills and personality traits were assessed by lower average values (see Table 6).After carrying out a detailed analysis of personality traits, abilities and skills of a business person, it was found out that according to the research participants, a business person is motivated (completely agree (55 (72.4 percent)) and agree (21 (27.6 percent)), persistent (completely agree (46 (60.5 percent)) and agree (29 (38.2 percent)), showing initiative (completely agree (46 (60.5 percent)) and agree (29 (38.2 percent)) and active (completely agree (51 (67.1 percent)) and agree (24 (31.6 percent)) (see Table 7).Whereas, the ability to create workplaces (completely agree (24 (32 percent)), agree (31 (41.3 percent)), impetuousness (completely agree (36 (48.6 percent)) and agree (29 (39.2 percent)), tolerance (completely agree (27 (36.0 percent)) and agree (30 (40.0 percent), while profit seeking (completely agree (32 (42.7 percent)) and agree (27 (36.0 percent)) are among the lowest average values of traits, abilities and skills that should have a business person.Average values of abilities, skills and personality traits of business people are provided in Table 7. .The obtained results show that female respondents, contrary to male respondents, admit that a business person should show initiative, be energetic, active, creative, responsible and able to create workplaces, observe the situation and take appropriate solutions to problems.When assessing other abilities, skills and personality traits peculiar to a business person, the average values in male and female groups did not differ significantly in terms of statistics (see Table 8), which allows us assert that the assessment of abilities, skills and personality traits of a business person provided by male and female respondents, is almost the same.When analysing the key Internet entrepreneurship creation problems the following recurrent categories were discerned: Problems related to personality traits (motivation, the lack of boldness, the fear of risk, etc.); Difficulties related to the lack of knowledge and skills; External factors (scarce funding, the lack of support, etc.).
The response results showed that respondents mentioned different reasons encumbering the Internet business creation.It is evident that the main obstacles for establishing the Internet business are these: the lack of motivation and self-confidence, laziness and passiveness.Furthermore, part of respondents asserted that difficulties for the Internet business creation could emerge due to the lack of ideas, boldness, desire, the fear of taking risk and making mistakes, the lack of a clear goal setting, the knowledge and skills.However, results of numerous researches show that a social environment and existing factors encumber the creation of a private business.This was confirmed by the research results, which showed that responses related to the environmental factors were most frequently among negative ones.According to the research participants' opinion, young people who want to establish the Internet business face financial difficulties and the lack of initial capital and funds; young people need a starting point and guidance of an experienced entrepreneur.On the other hand, respondents think that the lack of information on business and the shortage of theory and practice are key factors hindering a successful process of the Internet business creation.However, it should be admitted that the research participants were prone to highlight those difficulties that were related to personality traits rather than external factors.
After analysing the difficulties affecting the creation of one's own business it was identified that the environmental and external factors, as well as personality traits were of equal importance.The research participants related the difficulties emerging when creating the Internet business to personality traits, the lack of motivation and initiative, the fear to risk, the lack of self-confidence and knowledge.However, the difficulties emerging in creating the Internet business could be related to social factors hindering the implementation of personal goals and aspirations.
