substantial knowledge and understanding of
entrepreneurial concepts and principles. However,
your entrepreneurial journey does not end here. It is
just the beginning.

exactly the character and competency of a person in
order should be to become successful entrepreneur.
However, several studies reveal that there are
character traits and competencies which are common
among successful entrepreneur. Acquiring or
developing them will equip you in your
entrepreneurial journey. As you study and learn them,
 you must conduct an unsupervised self-assessment
based on them. The basic rule in the entrepreneurial
self

ENTREPRENEURIAL CHARACTER TRAITS,

SKILLS, AND COMPETENCIES Entrepreneurial

Character Traits

Character Traits refers to the mark or attribute that

distinguishes an entrepreneur from the owner of an
ordinary small business.

Based on studies conducted by the Small Enterprise

Research and Development Foundation (SERDF) of
the Trade and Industry (DTI), there are ten
entrepreneurial characteristics grouped into three
major cluster:

Achievement
cluster

Planning
cluster

Power cluster

Figure 1 Major Groupings of

Entrepreneurial Characteristics

1. Achievement Cluster consists of entrepreneurial

character traits that are directly related to the
entrepreneur’s desire to be an achiever in the field
of entrepreneurship. The entrepreneur ordinarily
does not settle for mediocrity but instead aspires
for quality. Entrepreneurs are achievers by nature
and they strive to achieve. They feel guilty if they
achieve less or nothing at all.

Successful entrepreneurs constantly set the things

to be achieved and repeatedly find ways to achieve
them. The entrepreneur who belongs to the
achievement cluster is:

Figure 2. Characteristics of an
Entrepreneur Who Aspires to Achieve

Characteristics of an Entrepreneur Who Aspires to

Achieve
 1) Opportunity-seeker – He/She must possess the
ability to identify with great ease the most
appropriate entrepreneurial opportunities.

A business opportunity-seeker is an entrepreneur

who
1. sees and acts on new business opportunities;
and
2. seizes unusual opportunities to obtain financing,
equipment, land, work, space, or assistance.

2) Committed – A highly committed entrepreneur

displays full commitment to the work or endeavor
that he/she is undertaking. He/She

1. accepts full responsibility for what has been

promised to the customers, 2. establishes proper
coordination with and among workers, so that
goods and services are delivered as promised, and
3. seeks to prioritize the satisfaction and interest
of customers.

3) Persistent – Trials, sacrifices, and failures

challenge the entrepreneur to be persistent.
He/She learns to

1. take repeated or different actions in order to

overcome the obstacles, 2. make personal
sacrifices or exert extraordinary effort to complete
the required task,
3. stick to his/her own judgement in times of
opposition and failure.

4) Risk-taker – Successful entrepreneurs are busines

risk-takers. There is risk entrepreneurship
because of uncertainty. No one can predict exactly
what will happen tomorrow.

There are three (3) types of risk-takers:

1. An aggressive risk-taker is not scared to take
any risks in business. 2. A moderate risk-taker
is more calculative in taking risks. He/She
analyzes the situation before taking the leap.
3. A conservative risk-taker in not very eager to
take any kind of risk. He/She is satisfied with
managing a small business and a regular
clientele.

5) Efficient and Quality-oriented – A successful

entrepreneur highly values efficiency and the
concept of quality in all business undertakings.
He/She

5
City of Good Character
DISCIPLINE • GOOD
TASTE • EXCELLENCE
1. Always performs the required tasks in
accordance with existing standards of excellence
or continuously improves on his/her past
performance and 2. Strives to do things better and
faster with minimal cost.
 2. Planning Cluster is a set of characteristics of
successful entrepreneurs that basically supports
the character traits in the achievement cluster. This
does not mean, however, that there is hierarchy in
the cluster of entrepreneurial character traits.

The entrepreneur who belongs to the planning

cluster is:

Goal-setter

Information
seeker

Systematic in
planning and
monitoring

Figure 3. Characteristics of a Planner

1) Goal-setter – Goals and objectives are the guiding

points that direct all actions, efforts, and struggles
of the entrepreneur. Being a goal-setter, a
successful entrepreneur sets clear, specific, and
well-defined short-and-long term goals and
objectives. Although goals and objectives may
appear similar, goals are long-term while objectives
are short-term. In setting the goals and objectives
of the business venture, the entrepreneur is
usually guided by the SMART principle. This
means that the goals and objectives are Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound.

2) Information-seeker – These must be based not on

their whims and caprices but on specific and
relevant economic, financial, and industry data.
Successful entrepreneurs, in other words,
primarily seek a strong basis to make sound
decisions. The usual constraints or limitations
encountered in the gathering of information are
data banks that:
1. Are incomplete, dated, and irrelevant;
2. Are costly in maintenance; and
3. Lack personnel to maintain them.

A successful information-seeker:
1. Seeks relevant information on target customers,
suppliers of raw materials, and competitors;
2. Verifies available information from various
sources, both private and public, like printed
materials and agencies;
3. Seeks opinions and advice from experts in the
business field;
4. Finds other possible ways to make sure that the desired
information is complete.
 6
City of Good Character
DISCIPLINE • GOOD
TASTE • EXCELLENCE
3) Systematic in planning and monitoring – The
term systematic implies that there is a rational
and logical approach in performing the activities.
There are step-by-step procedures that are
scientifically designed to be followed in the
preparation of plans and monitoring of activities.
Planning simply refers to the setting of goals and
objectives. Monitoring, on the other hand, refers to
the evaluation of the activities and adopted
courses of actions whether they are carried in
accordance with the plans.

A successful entrepreneur adopts a systematic and

coordinated planning and monitoring activities
where he/she:
1. Gathers all the qualitative and quantitative
information before formulating the plans,
2. Develops a logical step-by-step approach in
the formulation of plans. 3. Monitors the
progress of activities and switches to alternatives
strategies when deemed necessary; and
4. Evaluates constantly the alternatives in
achieving the goals.

2. Power Cluster includes a set of character traits

that reflect the degree of the interpersonal
relations maintained by successful entrepreneurs
in the community. It establishes the relationships
of the entrepreneurs with the suppliers of raw
materials, financial institutions, customers,
competitors, the government, employees, and all
other stakeholders. An entrepreneur in the power
cluster is:

1) A Persuasive and Positive networker – Successful

entrepreneurs are persuasive and can easily
influence and win over to their side the other
stakeholders in business such as customers,
suppliers, and prospective creditors. As a
persuasive and positive networker, the successful
entrepreneur usually:

1. Adopts specific strategies that will influence and

convince others while maintain the highest
degree of respect, and
2. Makes use f positive contacts in the business
community in order to meet the goals and
objectives of the business endeavor.

2) Self-confident – Successful entrepreneurs are

known to have a high level of self confidence. They
project a favorable image of themselves which is
founded on respect and good deeds in the
business community.

Entrepreneurial Skills

Without the required skills, a person can hardly

succeed in a particular business endeavor, perform
the assigned specialized tasks, or even truly become a
 successful entrepreneur. Hence, skills play a
significant role in the practice of entrepreneurship.

Skills are considered as the personal abilities to do

things well. They come from the totality of the
knowledge, practice or experience, and aptitude of a
person.

Skills are acquired and developed by a person through

constant and correct practice. They connote dexterity,
excellence, and expertise in the performance of
particular tasks. They are clear manifestations of the
abilities of a person to carry out complex tasks.

technical, and interpersonal skills required in the
practice of entrepreneurship.

1. Cognitive Skills refer to the mental ability of

3. Formulating alternative solutions,
4. Evaluating alternative solutions,
5. Selecting and implementing the optimal
solution, and
6. Evaluating the decisions.

3. Technical Skills. The result of final output of

significant in entrepreneurship but also in other
fields. For entrepreneurs, these skills relate to
their knowledge and proficiency in a specialized
field like computer technology, accounting,
marketing, operations research, engineering,
medical fields, or other related technical fields.

entrepreneurial competencies, motivations, and
competitive strategies that support venture success.

Which mechanisms do competencies impact
entrepreneurial performance?

∙ Venture Opportunities. More competent

entrepreneurs choose to exploit better venture
opportunities: both in terms of quality and fit.

∙ Venture Strategy. The more competent an

entrepreneur is, the more likely they are to
formulate superior strategies that fit their
business.

∙ Venture Growth. Many entrepreneurs find

themselves underprepared to manage growth
related transitions in an effective way.
“Entrepreneurs who possess competencies
related to transitioning organizations from one
stage of development to another are better
prepared to weather stage-related problems,
effectively leading a growing venture to new tiers
of success”.
