Topic 1: Developing and Strengthening PECs and Skills

According to (Taskmaster.Ace) it is very important to assess one's personal entrepreneurial competencies

(PECs) in order to know the strengths and weaknesses of the entrepreneur. In that manner, the entrepreneur
can design a plan to compensate for his weaknesses and develop his strength in order to deliver the
excellency that was expected of him.

Being aware of your strengths and weaknesses is a crucial part of emotional intelligence. Without a good
understanding of yourself, it is very hard to either improve, or to respond effectively to others.
As we have discussed earlier entrepreneurial competencies refers to the key characteristics that should be
possessed by successful entrepreneurs in order to perform entrepreneurial functions effectively.
Competencies are defined as the combination of knowledge, abilities, and attitudes needed to accomplish a

Grade 11 – PECs | 2
role efficiently. Identifying and understanding the concept of entrepreneurial competencies is very important
since it will guide you in decision making regarding entrepreneurial activities.
Other characteristics, traits, skills and lifestyle possessed by a good entrepreneur.
1. Future-oriented: It may take several years to develop a business to a reasonable standard. The goal
for most successful business people is to build a secure job and ensure a stable income for themselves
based on their own ability.
2. Goal-oriented: An entrepreneur is forward looking. You need advanced preparation for your
business. You set a long-term goal for the activities that are needed, an extensive preparation for the
production process and procedures that you need to go through to acquire human and non-human
resources. Everything in your business will have to be set clearly, organized, and planned depending
on the goal you want to achieve.
3. Copes with failure: “Learn from mistakes”. As an entrepreneur, you must learn how to deal with
the frustrations and failures. Instead, turn these into productive learning experiences.
4. Copes with Uncertainty: This means knowing how to handle unusual events that may happen in
the business. Those include problems in managing the workers, problems on the delivery of goods
and services, and the problems on demand and production. You must be patient in dealing with these
uncertainties.
5. Builds on strengths: Successful business people base their work on strengths. Use your manual
skills, knowledge in creating products or services, knowledge in trade and industry, ability to make
and use a wide network of contacts to build your business.
6. Has the initiative: An entrepreneur takes the initiative. You must put yourself in a position where
you are responsible for the failure or success of your business.
7. Profit-oriented: An entrepreneur enters the world of business to generate profit or additional
income. Therefore, you must see to it that the business can generate income.
8. Ability to accept change: Nothing is permanent but change. Change occurs frequently. When you
own a business, you should cope with and thrive on changes. Capitalize on positive changes to make
your business grow.
9. Takes the initiative: A successful entrepreneur takes the initiative. You must put yourself in a
position where you personally are responsible for the failure or success of your business.
10. Willing to listen: Take time to listen to the advice, suggestions, and recommendations of fellow
entrepreneurs. These will help your business grow.
11. Sets Own standards: This involves developing and using logical, step-by-step plans to reach the
goals, or offering evaluation alternatives, monitoring progress, and switching to successful strategies
for the goal you want to achieve. To be a successful entrepreneur you must take into consideration
that sales and production depend on your own standards.
12. Persistent: As an entrepreneur, you must be firm, strong-willed, and be able to stick to or follow
your own belief.
13. Focus. Without focus you can’t prioritize or maximize your productivity, making it next-to-
impossible to get any real work done in your new business.
Guidelines on how to strengthen your own PECs:
1. React positively to criticisms and be open to feedback.
2. Always demonstrate positive attitude to achieve a desired goal.
3. Always project a strong and well-balanced behavior.
4. Always exercise an assertive style in your work environment.
5. Avoid being too passive and too aggressive.
6. Don’t let anyone worsen your business life.
7. Prioritize your business goal rather than personal goal in order to become a successful
entrepreneur.
8. Acquire specific skills for creating and maintaining a conducive work environment.
9. Be responsible in everything you do in your business.
