10. Always observe business ethics in putting up a business.

Aligning your PECs of a successful entrepreneur is also a good practice

in strengthening your PECs.

Aligning PECs to chosen Career

How to align your PECs to your chosen career? The following are
suggested ways to align your PECs to your chosen career:

1. Observe successful entrepreneur. You must observe successful

entrepreneur whose inclination is similar to your chosen career.
2. List the PECs exhibited by a successful entrepreneur. For you to
become successful, you may adapt and strengthen the PECs he
exhibited. Let his PECs be your model for you to become successful.
3. Monitor the progress of your PECs by crafting action plan. You can
monitor your PECs by making an action plan. It will help in
accomplishing your goal.

How to Write an Action Plan

Action plan is also a good practice to be able to develop one’s PECs.

Action plan outlines the tasks you need to complete to accomplish your goal.
It helps you reach your target efficiently by assigning timeline. The following
are important points to have a good action plan:
1. Set SMART goals
2. Create a list of actions
3. Set a timeline
4. Monitor the progress

Before you start writing your action plan, consider using the SMART
outline to set the right goal. Your goal should be:
• Specific: Your goal should be clearly defined. For instance, instead of
saying that you want to increase sales, you could set a certain threshold
you want to reach, such as increasing sales by 20%.
• Measurable: Make sure your goal can be measured. For instance, if your
goal is to generate more sales, try to create weekly or monthly sales
reports to track your progress.
• Attainable: Although it is good to set high goals to challenge yourself,
making sure they’re attainable will help you achieve your desired
progress.
• Relevant: Your goal should be relevant to your abilities, needs and
interests. For instance, if you want to increase advertising revenue by
25%, setting a goal to initiate a new workplace safety program may not
be relevant.
• Time-based: You should set a specific deadline for reaching your goal,
such as increasing your income by 10% within the next 12 months.

Next, create a list of tasks you need to complete in order to reach your
goal. Make sure the actions are attainable and related to your goal.

Another thing to consider in writing an action plan is to establish a

timeframe for completing each task in the process. It is essential to create a
timeline you can reasonably follow so you will maintain consistent progress
toward your goal.

Finally, describe how you will ensure you complete each task in your
action plan on time, you need to monitor your progress. By doing so, you will
have a clearer idea of the progress you are making toward your goal.
