What is It

PERSONAL ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCIES

Entrepreneurial competencies refer to the important characteristics

possessed by an individual to perform entrepreneurial functions effectively.
In this module, you will learn these important characteristics, attributes,
lifestyle, skills, and traits of a successful entrepreneur to be successful in a
chosen career.
Below are some examples of these:
Hardworking. An entrepreneur works diligently within a long
period. A hardworking person keeps on improving his performance
to produce good products and or provide good services.

Self-confident. An entrepreneur has confidence in his ability and

judgment. He exhibits self-confidence to cope with all the risks of
operating his own business.

Disciplined. A successful entrepreneur always sticks to his plans;

avoid disruptions that affect the implementation of such plans.
Self-direction and determination to reach targeted goals are
important.

3
Committed. A good entrepreneur accepts full business
responsibility. He gives full commitment and dedication as to time
and effort to support his business; to make it successful and
profitable.

Capable to accept change. A person owning a business must be

ready to meet changes that occur normally. He must be able to
handle both positive and negative changes affecting his business
and find remedies and adjustments so that such changes will
contribute to the advancement of his business.

Creative: An entrepreneur should be creative and innovative to

have an edge over his competitors. His ability to create and
innovate make a positive difference that sustains his business.

Initiatory. An initiatory entrepreneur finds ways to the solutions

of failures in his business. He puts himself in a position where he
is personally responsible for both the failure and success of his
business.

Profit-Oriented. An entrepreneur enters the world of business to

generate profit or additional income. This shall become his source
of “bread and butter” as well as for his family. He must therefore
see to it that the business can generate income.

Below are the skills of a successful entrepreneur:

Planning Skills. Planning is strategic thinking and setting of

goals. It is achieving objectives by carefully maximizing on all the
available resources; developing and applying plans step-by-step to
realize goals. Planning becomes effective when combined with
action.
People-Oriented Skills. This skill is important because business
depends on customers and clients. The ability of an entrepreneur
to deal with people; effective and efficient communication with
people in or even out of his business can spell out the difference
between success and failure of the business.

Decision Making Skills. This is the ability to think and make

wise decisions. This is the ability to make sound decisions out of
