              The journey to knowing our competencies begins with the knowledge of who we are. Every day we evolve and change.
              We know what we like and what we don't. We make errors and then learn from them. It's vital to pause and reflect on
              how we've evolved as humans through time. When we reflect on our lives, we may be overly harsh on ourselves at
              times. We dislike it when we make mistakes and believe that we are unable to do something because of them. In such
              situations, it is critical to remember to see ourselves through the eyes of those around us. They might have good things
              to say about us. Let us learn about entrepreneurial attitudes.


              Decisiveness
              The  ability  to  make  lucrative  and  timely  decisions  is  referred  to  as  decisiveness.  How  can  one  become  a  decisive
              entrepreneur? When it comes to starting a business, decisiveness is the most vital quality to have. It is all about recognising
              and capitalising on opportunities. An opportunity is a chance to do something, usually at the correct time or period.

              Decisiveness can be developed via the process outlined below:

                                                                                    opportunity

              Let us consider Poonam's story to understand her entrepreneurial venture.

              Poonam lives in a small village in Himachal Pradesh. She sells hand-knitted woollen socks. However, she is not very
              successful in her venture. One day she discusses her problems with her friend. Her friend advises her to become an online
              seller. Poonam likes the idea and immediately registers online and starts selling her woollen socks. She realises that her
              product and price are better-suited for her online business. She then divides her products into two. She sells the better
              quality hand-knitted woollen socks online and the low quality hand-knitted woollen socks in her village. She starts earning
              quite a profit from both sides.
