What’s It

This time you’re going to study the different topics that will enrich
your knowledge of PECs. Read all the important details about the
succeeding topic carefully.

This module enables you to demonstrate an understanding on the

Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs, the Environment and
Market in this area; on how to develop a product/ service and select a
business idea based on the criteria and techniques set for Agricultural
Crops Production (Horticulture) NC II.

You will learn more about entrepreneurship and the

entrepreneurial competencies related to Agricultural Crops Production
(Horticulture). You will have a first-hand experience in educational
activities leading to assessment of your personal entrepreneurial
competencies (PECs) and the entrepreneurial competencies of a
successful Horticulturist within your province. You will also have several
activities that will align your competencies with those of successful
practitioners.Let us first understand entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship.

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
role efficiently. In adopting this definition, we are relating the

6
entrepreneurial competencies to the concept of efficacy, or performance in
the opportunity identification process.Entrepreneurs are those with the
skills and capabilities to see and evaluate business opportunities. They
are individuals who can strategically identify products or services needed
by the community, and have the capacity to deliver them at the right time
and at the right place.

Entrepreneurs are agents of economic change; they organize,

manage, and assume risks of a business. Some of the good qualities of
entrepreneurs are: opportunity-seeker, risk-taker, goal-setter, excellent
planner, confident problem-solver, hardworking, persistent and
committed.

Entrepreneurship, on the other hand, is not just a simple business

activity but a strategic process of innovation and new product creation.
Basically, entrepreneurship is both an art and science of converting
business ideas into marketable products or services to improve the
quality of living. Now that you have background knowledge about
entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship, you can now walk through in
assessing your PECs. Always remember that successful entrepreneurs
continuously develop and improve their PECs.

Below are few important characteristics / traits / attributes of a

good entrepreneur:

1. Hardworking: One of the important characteristics of a good

entrepreneur is hardworking. This means working diligently and being
consistent about it. Hardworking people keep improving their performance
to produce good products and/or provide good services.

2. Confident: Entrepreneurs have self-reliance in one’s ability and judgment.

They exhibit self-confidence to cope with the risks of operating their own
business.

3. Disciplined: Successful entrepreneurs always stick to the plan and fight

the temptation to do what is unimportant.

4. Committed: Good entrepreneurs assume full responsibility over their

business. They give full commitment and solid dedication to make the
business successful.

5. 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.
6. Creative: An entrepreneur should be creative and innovative to stay in
the business and in order to have an edge over the other competitors.
7
7. 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.

8. Profit-oriented: An entrepreneur enters the world of business to generate

profit or additional income. The business shall become your bread and
butter. Therefore, you must see to it that the business can generate income.

Listed below are the important skills of a successful entrepreneur:

1. Excellent planner: Planning involves strategic thinking and goal setting

to achieve objectives by carefully maximizing all the available resources. A
good entrepreneur develops and follows the steps in the plans diligently to
realize goals. A good entrepreneur knows that planning is an effective skill
only when combined with action.

2. Possesses people skills: This is a very important skill needed to be

successful in any kind of business. People skills refer to effective and
efficient communication and establishing good relationship to the people
working in and out of your business. In day-to-day business transactions,
you need to deal with people. A well-developed interpersonal skill can make
a huge difference between success and failure of the business.

3. Sound decision maker: Successful entrepreneurs have the ability to

think quickly and to make wise decisions towards a pre-determined set of
objectives. No one can deny that the ability to make wise decisions is an
important skill that an entrepreneur should possess. Sound decisions
should be based on given facts and information and lead towards the pre-
determined objectives.

Few personality types are as charming and attractive as

Entrepreneurs. Known for their ability to improvise and focus completely on
the present, Entrepreneurs are great at finding exciting new things to
explore and experience. Entrepreneurs’ creativity and down-to-earth attitude
are invaluable in many areas, including their own personal growth.

8
Yet Entrepreneurs can be easily tripped up in situations where their focus
on practical matters is more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is finding
(or keeping) a partner, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or
learning to plan ahead, Entrepreneurs need to put in a conscious effort to
develop their weaker traits and additional skills.
