BRIEF INTRODUCTION
This question has long been debated with little agreement. However, as cited
by Longenecker, J.G., et.al. (2016), Stephen Spinelli and Robert Adams
described entrepreneurs as having and
exhibiting “desirable and acquirable attitudes and behaviors” such as commitment and
determination, leadership, opportunity obsession, risk-takers, motivation to excel, creativity, self-
reliance, and adaptability. According to (www.ideasforleaders.com), competencies such as risk
seeking, assertiveness and vision are considered typical of a successful entrepreneur. But these are
innate predispositions or aspects of temperament; by using them as yardstick, it is wrongly
concluded that only certain types of people make good entrepreneurs or are capable of worthwhile
innovations.
Accordingly there is not. Specific techniques and habits must be practiced and developed by all
would-be entrepreneurs. Aside from business competencies, entrepreneurs need interpersonal and
self-leadership skills too; however, these are often overlooked. Entrepreneurial behavior‟ can be
learned and developed (www.ideasforleaders.com).
The question is not who entrepreneurs are, but what they do, and more important than
business skills can be other competencies that provide a foundation for those business skills
(www.ideasforleaders.com).
3. Business competencies – These are set of particular abilities and knowledge that sets a
company apart from its competitors (yourbusiness.azcentral.com). It also refers to the key
characteristics that successful entrepreneurs should have in order to be successful
(www.mustangbols.com).
Ex. business vision, financial management, networking

REFLECTIVE LEARNING
The amount of time it takes to make it as an entrepreneur depends on the field you choose to
venture into. Since entrepreneurs can exist in any sector of the economy, there is a vast and almost
never-ending list of paths to choose from. Therefore, you cannot define a single time-frame for careers
in entrepreneurship.
The first thing you need to do is find the right business idea and get education according to it.
You will then need to make a business plan and define your target market. Once you have established
these, you should start networking and selling your idea into your targeted market.
The salary figures for entrepreneurs vary according to the field they venture into and how well
their idea sells in the market. If your idea is unique and useful, you might end up making a lot of
money.
To become a successful entrepreneur, you must demonstrate good skills and should be
educated in the field. Some skills that can turn out to be useful are: communication skills, leadership
skills, analysis skills, decision making skills, problem solving skills, critical thinking skills, and
management skills.
