What’s New

According to Lloyd Shefsky in his book entitled “Entrepreneurs Are Made Not Born”,
defined entrepreneur by dissecting the word entrepreneur into three parts as follow: Entre
means to enter, pre means before; and neur means nerve center. This leads to the
definition of the word as someone who enters a business. Entrepreneurs are people who
have the ability and evaluate business opportunity.
Entrepreneurship has brought great success to some, but it's not a career path for
all. Do you think you can handle the stress and hard work that go with running a small
business enterprise? The key to succeed in a small business enterprise is your
entrepreneurial ability to produce the desired results. Before embarking on your first
business, it's worth spending some time evaluating your own preparedness for
entrepreneurship. Try to examine your own personality and compare it with the Personal
Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) of a successful entrepreneur. Ask yourself if you are
ready to enter into the world of business. If your answer is yes, take this reminder:
“Successful entrepreneurs continuously develop and improve their PECs”.

Directions: Below is a list of Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) of a

successful entrepreneur. Put a checkmark on the 2nd column that indicates your strong
PECs. Put a checkmark on the 3rd column for PECs that needs to be developed.

most successful business people is to build a secure job and stable income for
themselves based on their own ability.
4. Profit-Oriented: When you enter into the world of business, obviously, you are
looking for income because you know that this will be your bread and butter not only

generate income. Another plan of action is to expand your own business through
the use of your generated income.
5. Goal-Oriented: An entrepreneur is forward looking. You have an advanced
preparation for your business. You set a long-term goal for the activities that are
