Lesson No. and Title : L2 – Looking at myself
Learning Outcomes :
* make-self assessment
* Analyze your weakness and strength
* Develop a good image of your self
Time Frame : 3 hours

Introduction:
Hello dear students! Welcome to Lesson 2 – Looking to myself. In this lesson,
The family has big influence over a person's life. One's attitude, outlook, personality,
and lifestyle profiles are shaped largely by the interaction in the family. The tasks that
family members can perform to create harmonious relationship among the members
are identified through the family. More importantly, the physical, social and
emotional development of the family members rest greatly in the family. You can
finish this module in 3 hours and your activity output will be an analysis of a story of
a You may begin now.

Activity: Rate yourself

1.TALKING TO OTHERS. This is about communication and being able to
communicate with people effectively. It involves being clear and perhaps precise
when this is required and being able to assert yourself in your communication with
others.
Rate yourself
1.Bad at it.
2.Not so good.
3.Okay.
4.Good at it.
5.Very good at it.
2.This has to do with being able to make and maintain friendships. Look at the
friendships that you have in your life, how you established them, and how you have
maintained them over time.
Rate yourself
1.Bad at it.
2.Not so good.
3.Okay.
4.Good at it.
5.Very good at it.
3. To do with flexibility and with being able to make changes in your life when you
need to. This is often very difficult for us. We are creatures of habit and we tend to try
to solve problems in the way in which we have solved them in the past.
Unfortunately, many situations require that we try in a different way.
Rate yourself
1.Bad at it.
2.Not so good.
3.Okay.
4.Good at it.
5.Very good at it.
4. How you feel about yourself. Do you give yourself credit for your
accomplishments? How well do you take a compliment from others? Do you
discount accomplishments or things that you should be pleased with and proud of?
How good are you at feeling good about yourself?
5. The last one has to do with being able to control your emotions, especially strong
emotions; specifically, emotions that others or you yourself may label as negative:
anger. How good are you at controlling what you do and say when you're angry?
Take some time and think about this. Think about a situation that you have been in
when you lost your temper and think about the last time that you felt angry. What did
you do? How did you deal with the strong emotion?

RATE YOURSELF.
1. Bad at it, meaning that you let go of your anger in ways that probably damage the
relationship that you have with other people or don't achieve the goals that you're
trying to achieve.
2.Not so good at it.
3.Okay.
4.Good at it.
5.Very good at it, meaning that you can really be assertive in situations, speak up for
yourself, and discharge your anger in ways that are productive and not destructive.
There is really truth in the concept that ii is sometimes difficult to accept your weak
traits. You even feel bad or hurt when your weakness are revealed ,But
understanding and accepting what you are is a sign of attaining maturity.

Analysis:
1.How would you describe yourself?
2. Look at your life now. Are you living the life of your dreams?
3. Who am I?
Abstraction:
Self -assessment is an effective way to develop one’s personality. It provides
opportunity to understand oneself better and to relate oneself with other members of
the family more effectively.
Before can understand others, he must understand himself first.
To understand himself, he must view himself as he actually is, and not as he wants
himself to be.
1. Self-discipline - to become a successful entrepreneur, you have to be highly
disciplined. As the late business philosopher and guru Jim Rohn said, “Discipline
is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” You have to develop the ability
to get things done, even when you don’t feel like it. Self-discipline increases inner
strength and confidence especially in times that you need to take decision. By
creating self-disciplined environment in the workplace, you can control actions and
reactions in a positive way.
2. People skills - another critical factor among successful entrepreneurs is having
good people skills. You should make an effort to genuinely like, respect and
appreciate other people. The ability to win people over will carry you far in all
walks of life, especially your own business.
3. Strong work ethics - there’s no substitute for hard work when it comes to
becoming a successful entrepreneur. Most people want to do the fastest and easiest
solution when it comes to work. To be successful, dedicate yourself to persistent,
productive and old fashioned hard work.
4. Passion - you need to be passionate about your business. This doesn’t necessarily
mean you have to build a business around something you love. You should identify
a profitable market and then build your business. Loving your your business will
also make it easier to get through the start-up phase, and other future obstacles.
5. Strong leadership qualities - being able to communicate effectively, motivate
others, sell your ideas and be decisive, are just few qualities of a good leader. In
order to become a successful entrepreneur you must dedicate yourself of
improving your leadership and abilities. According to Maxwell, “leadership is
influence”.
6. Competitiveness - competition is everywhere. In business, it is the survival of the
fittest. If you can out market and outperform your competitors, your chance of
being a successful entrepreneur will be much better. Play to win, but never
sacrifice your integrity for the sake of a penny.
7. Well-organized - one of the main reason why small business fail is lack of
organization. Everyone can learn organization skills with enough hard work,
practice and persistence.
8. Sales ability - the ability to convince others to make a conscious decision is a key
of becoming a successful entrepreneur. Albro (2020) stated that the most important
of today’s sales skills is simply understanding the buyer. It’s the foundation of
effective selling. But it involves more than just understanding who the buyer is.
Instead, it’s about identifying the experience that the buyer wants to have as they
consider making a purchase in your market. Your buyer has a set of expectations
about that experience and your job as a salesperson is to exceed those expectations.
You can’t exceed them if you don’t understand the experience that the buyer wants
to have.
9. Time Management Skills - Time management is defined as using your time
productively and efficiently—but what about when you are working as
productively as possible, and you still can’t get everything done? It may be
better to think about time management as a combination of working
productively and prioritizing your time. In other words, people who are good
at time management are good at getting on and doing things. They can do this
because they understand the difference between urgent and important.
‘Urgent’ tasks demand your immediate attention, but whether you actually
give them that attention may or may not matter. 'Important' tasks matter, and
not doing them may have serious consequences for you or others.

Application: Now that you have learned the different desirable characteristics of a
successful entrepreneur, you are required to make your Activity Output No. 2 which
is an Analysis of a story of a Successful Entrepreneur. Choose a successful
entrepreneur and then analyze what are their characteristics which made them
successful. Try to present a matrix of the challenges that they had experienced and
and the strategies that they made which made them successful in handling business.
You may use the suggested format in writing your analysis:

I - Name of Successful Entrepreneur:

II - Short Description of Business:
III - Matrix of Challenges and Strategies observed: (You can use the T- Chart like we
do in our activity).
IV - Analysis on the Success Story of (Name of the chosen entrepreneur)
V - Conclusion

Introduction:
Hello dear students! Welcome to Lesson 3 – PECs Clusters and Behavioral
Indicators. In this lesson, you will be able to learn how to rate your own Personal
Entrepreneurial Characteristics. The results would guide you to develop your
characteristics in doing business. You can finish this module in just 3 hours and your

characteristic. This activity will help you on how to improve those weaknesses and
 making them as your strengths in the future. Now, its time to fill-up the T-Chart
below on your positive and negative characteristics.

POSITIVE NEGATIVE

Analysis:
1. What characteristics help you in accomplishing your goals and targets in life?
2. What characteristics prevent you from achieving results of your plans?
3. What characteristics help you in leading others when you are in a group?

Abstraction:
Personal Entrepreneurial Characteristics Clusters and Behavioral Indicators
Successful entrepreneurs have the same characteristics in common. Some of
those common characteristics that they have are listed in the ten (10) personal
entrepreneurial characteristics (PECs) under 3 clusters.
I. Achievement Cluster
Successful entrepreneurs are people who accomplish things. They have what
psychologists call the “need to achieve”. They want to perform tasks excellently not
only for prestige or money but for the sake of excellent itself. When entrepreneurial
individual work on something, they like to know afterwards that it was a job well done
and this alone is enough to make them happy.
 Achievers rate high in the following PECS
1. Opportunity –Seeking - an entrepreneur is said to be good opportunity-seeker
if he sees and acts on new business opportunities and seizes unusual
opportunities to acquire financing, equipment, land and work space or
assistance.

2. Persistence- A persistent individual is one who

a. takes different actions to overcome an obstacle
b. makes personal sacrifices or spends extraordinary efforts to complete a job
c. sticks to his judgments in the face of opposition or early lack of success

3. Commitment to the Work Contract - the true-blue entrepreneur is committed

to the work that he has agreed to do. When he accepts a job, he takes full
responsibility for its completion. No job is too small, too dirty or too difficult
to be done. He exerts extra effort to satisfy the costumer. In the end, if he fails
he would take full measure of the blame. But if he succeeds, he expects to get
full credit.

4. Risk-Taking - a gambler is a person who takes high risk and so he tends to lose all
his money and even his shirts in the end. An entrepreneur is not a gambler. A
successful entrepreneur takes calculated, moderate, or reasonable risks where he
perceives the chances for winning to be good. In other words, he states a preference
for situations that involve moderate risks.
5. Demand for Quality and Efficiency - a true entrepreneur is not satisfied with
mediocre work. He sets a high standard of performance.The high standard of
performance makes him act to meet or exceed existing standards of excellence or
improve on past performance. He strives to do things better, faster or cheaper.
II - Planning Cluster
Going into business is the result of deliberate goal-setting, tireless information-
seeking and systematic planning and monitoring by the entrepreneur.

1. Goal Setting - an entrepreneur always thinks not only of what he wants to

accomplished day-to-day but also in one, two, or five years from now. In other words,
he sets clear and specific short-and-long term objectives. He thinks of today’s activity
as a small step towards that which he eventually wants to accomplish.

2. Information Seeking - as a careful plan, the successful entrepreneur always

makes it a point to seek information that is relevant and useful to his present or future
business. He obtains information from clients, suppliers, experts, competitors,
contacts and information networks. He also consults experts for business or technical
advice.
 3. Systematic Planning and Monitoring - the successful entrepreneur does not only
set short-and-long term goals. He does not only seek information regularly. He also
systematically plans an monitors his activities and performance. He develops and
uses alternatives and monitors his progress. He is ready to switch to alternative
strategies when necessary to achieve his goals.
III - Power Cluster
The personal motto of a successful entrepreneur is “I Can”. He thinks he can
achieve things; he can convince people to his way of thinking; he can influence the
outcome of events. He is natural leader. He is decisive and believes in his power.
1. Persuasion and Networking - persuasive person who readily establishes a
network or personal business contracts around him usually makes good
entrepreneur. In order to persuade others, the entrepreneur uses deliberate
strategies. In order to accomplish his business objectives he uses his network
of useful friends and acquaintances.
2. Self-Confidence - the entrepreneur exudes self-confidence he strongly believes
in himself and his own abilities.No challenge is too difficult nor is a task too
big that the entrepreneur would indulge in self-doubt. When he enters a
business, it is because he is confident that the business would be successful
and profitable.
Now that you had learned the different PECs, it is about time to determine
your own rating of PECs using the questionnaire below:

PECS SELF-RATING QUESTIONNAIRE

Instructions:
1. This questionnaire consists of 55 brief statements. Read each statement and
decide how well it describes you. Be honest about yourself. Remember, no
one does everything very well, nor is it even good to do everything very well.
2. Select one of the numbers to indicate how well the statement describes you:
5 = Always 4 = Usually 3 = Sometimes 2 = Rarely 1 = Never
3. Write the number you select on the line to the right of each statement. Here is
an example:
I remain clam in stressful situation 2.
The person who responded to the item above wrote a “2” indicating that the
statement described him very little.
4. Some statements may be similar but no two are exactly alike.
5. Please answer all questions.
You may now start rating yourself:

MODULE ASSESSMENT
 Now to test your learning on the whole module, we are going to have an oral
quiz via google meet. The link will be given to you prior to the scheduled date of oral
quiz.

MODULE SUMMARY
Module 1 - Basic Concepts of Entreprenuership teaches you about
entrepreneurship and how it contributes to socio-economic development. You were
also able to learn the different desirable characteristics of successful entrepreneurs
and learn to rate your Personal Entrepreneurial Characteristics.
Entrepreneurship is the capacity for innovation, investment, and creation and
expansion in new markets, products and techniques. Entrepreneurship plays
important roles in the economic development of a country through wealth creation
and sharing; creating jobs; balanced regional development; GDP and Per Capita
Income; increasing the standard of living; exports; and community development. To
become a successful entrepreneur, one must possessed the desired characteristics
which are integrity, self-discipline, people skills, strong work ethics, passion, strong
leadership qualities, competitiveness, well-organized, sales ability and time
management skills.
Personal Entrepeneurial Characteristics are also needed to assessed one’s
ability to manage business successfully. The PECs are divided into 3 Clusters which
are Achievement Cluster, Planning Cluster and Power Cluster. An entrepreneur can
be considered achiever if he/she is opportunity-seeker, persistent, committed to work,
risk-taker and demands for quality and efficiency. Moreover, an entrepreneur is a
good planner if he/she excels in goal-setting, information seeking and systematic in
planning and monitoring. Lastly, an entrepreneur shows power through persuasion
and networking as well as having self-confidence.
