Bwisa’s key entrepreneurship skills from the word entrepreneurs
The skill Elaboration
Envisioning Entrepreneurs must be able to envision, set goals and strategically plan their affairs
Negotiation Entrepreneurs not only negotiate prices, they also persuasively resolve differences between
themselves and customers and other people in a positive, mutually beneficial way.
Trend-setting Entrepreneurs must be able to see changes coming in their industry. They must keep up to date on
new startups and technology advances. They must have the creative ability to lead as others follow
Reading Entrepreneurs do just read documents, they also read and interpret the times and trends and
indeed read the moods of the market
Entertaining The ability to be entertaining boosts entrepreneurial success
Problem-solving Entrepreneurs use their problem analysis and solving skills like Cause & Effect Analysis, the 5 Whys
etc. as a cornerstone for their success
Risk-taking It is not just taking risk; it is taking calculated risk. Entrepreneurs do business plans to minimize risks
Ethical Entrepreneurs understand that the customer is king and treat him/her ethically
Networking It is said that “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
entrepreneurs connect with positive and like-minded people. They believe in alliances
Efficiency In order to handle the pressures of their busy lifestyles, entrepreneurs must have the ability to
manage time well and to take care of personal business efficiently and effectively
Understanding It is not just reading. To correctly interpret the reading entrepreneurs must understand the reading;
the situation; the customer. They must have the ability to read and understand the market
Resiliency Entrepreneurs recognize that not everything goes as planned. They learn to weather the business
ups and downs. This skill enables the entrepreneur to keep going when the outlook is bleak.
Selling Entrepreneurs must sell. They must sell ideas, products etc. to customers, investors or employees.
