Entrepreneur's Credo

"I do not choose to be a common person. It is my right to be uncommon—if I can. 1 seek

opportunity—not security. I do not wish to

be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk, to dream

and to build, to fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole; I

prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of

fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia.

I will not trade my freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. 1 will never

cower before any master nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, to

enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say:

This, with God's help, I have done. All this

is what it means to be an entrepreneur." (Official Credo of American Entrepreneurs Association 1986)

Guide Questions:

Write your answer in one whole sheet of paper.

1. What are the choices and wants of an entrepreneur? 2. State the challenges that he prefers. 3. What does he want to enjoy in his life? 4. Who could help to fulfill his dream? 5. In two sentences, describe an entrepreneur.

Interpreting Scores*

The highest corrected score is 25 per PECs item. The closer you are to 25 means you are strong in that particular PECs item.

The average and median score is 12.5.

A score below 12.5 means a challenge or opportunity for improvement in that

particular PECs item. A below the average score calls for change of behavioural

pattern.

Marking on the extreme left side (below 12) requires self-reflection and figuring out changes needed to improve one’s personality. The PECs profile is dynamic, meaning

it is not set in stone and whatever challenges you may have could still be improved on. Your PECs profile will be technically progressive once these challenges are faced

with self-confidence and are aligned to your business plan. In a larger sense, a

winning personality is considered a key factor whether you are fit to start or maintain a business. (Villena,2018)
