What Is It
Important Entrepreneurial Traits
Entrepreneurial competencies refer to the important characteristics that should be
possessed by an individual in order to perform entrepreneurial functions effectively. In this
lesson, you will learn some of the most important characteristics, attributes, lifestyle, skills,
and traits of successful entrepreneurs.
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.
Below are some important characteristics /traits/attributes/of a good entrepreneur:
1. Hardworking: One of the most important characteristics of a good entrepreneur. 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. Self-confidence. Once the plan to do entrepreneurial activities is ready to be started,
assure yourself to overcome risks and many other forms of business constraints.
3. Self-control. In any situations that need to be handled, never react immediately.
Instead respond to the situation in the most legal and beneficial ways.
4. Courage. Be a risk-taker with alternative courses of action on hand. 7 Business risks
are always there however, one’s readiness to face, reduce or eliminate it depends on
how brave you can be.
5. Commitment. Sustain every effort you have started. Profit may dwindle in the most
unacceptable way but never hesitate to invoke your right to persist and regain a lost
glory.
6. Creativity. Do not stay inside a box which means go out and flaunt your potential to
be effectively different. Use your imagination to create marketable ideas and push it. If
you thought of a potentially good one, be the first to act upon it. Chances are, others’
have thought about it, too.
7. Optimism. Be someone who always feels positive in every effort in order to achieve
something.
8. Future-Oriented. Once you enter in a line of business, you must understand that you
are in a non-stop contract. It may take several years to build up a business to a
reasonable standard. The goal of most successful business people is to build a secure
job with a stable income based on their own ability.
9. 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 for you
but also for your family. Therefore, you must see to it that the business can generate
income. Another plan of action is to expand your own business through the use of
your generated income.
10. Persistence. Differences in opinion and judgment. Your opponent can be a part of
the rejection on what you intend to do for your endeavor. As an entrepreneur, you must
be firm, strong-willed, and stick or follow what you believe is the best
11. Copes with Failure. “Learn from your mistakes”. As an entrepreneur, you must
learn how to deal with the frustrations and failures. Instead, turn these into productive
learning experiences.
12. Takes the Initiative. A successful entrepreneur takes the initiative. You must put
yourself in a position where you, personally, are responsible for the failure or success
of your business.
13. Shows Willingness to Listen. Take time to listen to the advice, suggestions, and
recommendations of fellow entrepreneurs. It will help your business grow.
3
14. Risk-Taker. Risk sometimes cannot be anticipated. When misfortunes happen,
consider these as challenges. Work them out and set good alternatives. Risks may
result to loss of your business or even bankruptcy.
15. Reliable and has Integrity. An entrepreneur must build a good reputation, and
possess the courage to do the right thing. Do what you say, walk your talk, be loyal,
and be fair in dealing with the subordinates and costumers.
16. Set your Own Standards. This involves developing and using logical, step by-step
plans to reach the goal; offering evaluation alternatives, monitoring progress, and
switching to successful strategies. To be a successful entrepreneur, you must take into
consideration that sales and production depend on your own standards.
17. Information Seeking. "Information seeking is the process or activity of attempting to
obtain information in both human and technological contexts".
18. Well-defined values. Be precise in your principles or standards. Goals coated with
well-defined values provide guidance to what your business must achieve with reduced
inconveniences.
19. High energy level. Competitive entrepreneurs are fuelled to succeed. Passion in the
endeavor is an energy enhancer. Success in business comes from being passionately
energetic.
20. Leadership ability. Guide, direct and influence people according to what benefits the
business. People and the many ways you may lead them can spell success or failure
of your business.
