Summary/Abstract: The idea of entrepreneurship leads to the formation of ethical attitudes in space management and in the socio-economic space. Formation of ethical and patriotic attitudes by exemplifying the theoretical content with the activities and attitudes of great Poles who proved with their lives the compatibility of innovative projects with professed values and the adopted superior goal is very important in this process. The paper is devoted to entrepreneurial qualities and organisational skills, as well as the meaning of the overarching goal in the implementation of socio-economic projects. Its aim is to present the socio-economic implications of Christian faith and purposeful entrepreneurship based on selected examples, in particular using saint M.M. Kolbe as a model for entrepreneurs and managers based on desk research. Globally and locally, his cult has been growing largely on the basis of his heroic decision to give his life for a fellow prisoner in the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz; his extraordinary life and great entrepreneurial talents are rarely mentioned. The presented concepts may inspire teachers at various levels of education to start discussions or in-depth research work on the ethical aspects of running a business, and above all, on setting and achieving life goals and leading an integrated life.
