1. Hard working: If you are determined to run your own business, you must
concentrate on your work either as a producer or a seller. The success of
your business depends on how much time and effort you will spend on it.
2. Self- Confidence: You must have a strong faith in your ability despite the
problems that you will encounter along the way.
3. Future-Oriented: Once a person enters in a line of business, you must
understand that you are in a non-stop contract that an entrepreneur should
understand. It may take several years to build up a business to a reasonable
standard. The goal for most successful business people is to build a secure
job and stable income for themselves based on their own ability.
4. 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
the business can generate income. Another plan of action is to expand your
own business through the use of your generated income.
5. Goal-Oriented: An entrepreneur is forward looking. You have an advanced
preparation for your business. You set a long-term goal for the activities that
are needed, an extensive preparation for the production process and
procedures that you need to go through to acquire, human and non-human
resources. Everything in your business will have to be set clearly, organized,
and planned depending on the goal you want to achieve.
6. 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 your own
belief.
7. 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.
8. Responds to Feedback or Open to Feedback: You must be concerned to
know how well you are doing and keep track of your performance. You must
obtain useful feedback and advice from others.
9. Take 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.
10
10. Willing to Listen: Take time to listen to the advice, suggestions, and
recommendations of fellow entrepreneurs. It will help your business grow.
11. Set your Own Standards: This involves developing and using logical, step-
by-step plans to reach the goals, or offering evaluation alternatives,
monitoring progress, and switching to successful strategies for the goal you
want to achieve. To be a successful entrepreneur you must take into
consideration that sales and production depend on your own standards.
12. Copes with Uncertainty: Pursue your vision to be a successful
entrepreneur, you should know how to handle unusual events that may
happen in the business which include problems in managing the workers,
problems on the delivery of goods and services, and the problems on
demand and production. You must be patient in dealing with these
uncertainties.
13. Committed: You should know that in your business, personal needs,
attachment to your friends, families and relatives are set aside. You must
separate the money for your business from the amount that you need to
spend for personal obligations and lifestyles.
14. Builds on Strengths: Successful business people base their work on
strengths. Use your manual skills, knowledge in creating products or
services, knowledge in trade and industry, ability to make and use of a wide
network of contacts to build your business.
15. Reliable and has Integrity: An entrepreneur must build a good reputation,
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. Risk-Taker: Risk sometimes cannot be anticipated. When misfortunes
happen, consider these as challenges and work them out and set good
alternatives. Risks may result to loss of your business or even bankruptcy.

Everyone has his or her own needs and wants. However, people have
different concepts of needs and wants. Needs in business are important
things that every individual cannot do without in a society. These include:
Wants are desires, luxury and extravagance that signify wealth and an
expensive way of living. Wants or desires are considered above all the basic
necessities of life. Some examples are the eagerness or the passion of every
individual which are non- basic needs like; fashion accessories, shoes,
clothes, travelling around the world, eating in an exclusive restaurant;
watching movies, concerts, plays, having luxurious cars, wearing expensive
jewelry, perfume, living in impressive homes, and others.
Needs and wants of people are the basic indicators of the kind of
business that you may engage into because it can serve as the measure of
your success. Some other good points that you might consider in business
undertakings are the kind of people, their needs, wants, lifestyle, culture and
tradition, and social orientation that they belong.
Here are some ways by which you may generate possible ideas for business.
1. Examine the existing goods and services. Are you satisfied with the
product? What do other people who use the product say about it?
How can it be improved? There are many ways of improving a product
from the way it is made to the way it is packed and sold? You can also
improve the materials used in crafting the product. In addition, you
introduce new ways of using the product, making it more useful and
22
adaptable to the customers’ many needs. When you are improving the
product or enhancing it, you are doing an innovation. You can also do
an invention by introducing an entirely new product to replace the old
one.
2. Examine the present and future needs. Look and listen to what the
customers, institution, and communities are missing in terms of goods
and services. Sometimes, these needs are already obvious and felt at
the moment. Other needs are not that obvious because they can only
be felt in the future, in the event of certain developments in the
community. For example, a town will have its electrification facility in
the next six months. Only by that time will the entrepreneur could think
of electrically- powered or generated business such as xerox copier,
computer service, digital printing, etc.
3. Examine how the needs are being satisfied. Needs for the products
and services are referred to as market demand. To satisfy these
needs is to supply the products and services that meet the demands of
the market. The term market refers to whoever will use or buy the
products or service, and these may be people or institutions such as
other businesses, establishments, organizations, or government
agencies.
Businesses or industries in the locality also have needs for goods and
services. Their needs for raw materials, maintenance, and other
services such as selling and distribution are good sources of ideas for
business.
23
collected and made into coco rags/doormat and charcoal bricks and
sold profitably outside the community.
Business ideas can come from your own skills. The work and
experience you may have in agricultural arts, industrial arts, home
economics, and ICT classes will provide you with business
opportunities to acquire the needed skills which will earn for you extra
income, should you decide to engage in income-generating activities.
With your skills, you may also tinker around with various things in your
spare time. Many products were invented this way.
24
In the final stage, choose between the two and decide which business
idea worth pursuing.
25
Environment in the community can be viewed according to its
technological, political, economic, and social aspects. For example, in
the past, people in the community used personal computers but the
transmission of development in terms of technology was interrupted
because people were not satisfied with what they have today. They
still look for the changes in their life and the corresponding in their
environment.
As a future entrepreneur, you must be well-versed in this kind of
advancement and progression of your environment particularly in
technology so as to secure the success of your future business. Always
think of something new, something novel, authentic, reinvent the
existing ones, and create your new version of goods/products, and
services. For instance, your own hair straightening is herbal, while in
the other salons it is made of synthetic chemicals. This kind of changes
being made will effect the existing principles in business and industries
that can be easily adapted to the changes in producing the
products/services to meet the needs and wants of people in the
community.
26
Be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of your
business when conducting SWOT analysis.
SWOT analysis should distinguish between where your business
is today, and where it could be in the future.
SWOT should always be specific. Avoid any grey areas.
Always apply SWOT in relation to your competition i.e. better
than or worse than your competition.
Keep your SWOT short and simple. Avoid complexity and over
analysis
SWOT is subjective.
People keep on searching for new things, new trends, and new
issues. For these reasons, an entrepreneur hurriedly responds to these
needs and wants of people.
As generations come and go, another set of new trends will
come or will exist. In order to adapt to the rapid changes in the
business environment, the existing industries need to improve their
products and services. But how can you generate business ideas with
those strong competitors? There are three main sets of decisions that
you need to make - what to produce, how to produce, and how to
share or sell out the product to the market.

A basic power supply consists of three basic stages: the power
transformer stage, rectifier stage, and filter stage. If there is a need to
regulate the output voltage, a regulator circuit is added.
Transformer stage
There are two types of rectifier, Half-wave Rectifier and the Full-wave
Rectifier. Under a Full-wave rectifier, there are two types, the Center-tapped
and the Bridge Rectifier.
38
Schematic Diagram of a Half-Wave Rectifier
2. Full-Wave Center-Tapped Rectifier Circuit
This type of circuit requires a center-tapped transformer, two
rectifier diodes, and a load resistor (R L). Each of the diode supplies
one-half the DC load current.
39
The operation of this rectifier circuit is different from the Half-wave
and Full-wave center-tapped. The conduction of AC voltage starts from
Line-A going to Line-B.

Second Conduction
40
Characteristics of a Full-Wave Bridge Type Power Supply
a. Expensive
b. Needs a lower value of capacitance
c. Needs four rectifier diodes
Filter Stage
Placing additional
capacitor in the output.
Filter Circuit
Placing a resistor
in series with the
positive line can
cause voltage
drop.
41
3. Filter with Inductor
This circuit has a good filtering effect to the pulsating DC output of
the rectifier. It uses minimal value of capacitance and it is good in low
current and high current applications. The only disadvantage is that
the inductor in series with the positive line takes up big space in
mounting it in the PCB.

Plastic
Basin
4. Etch the PCB by immersing it in a basin filled with ferric chloride until
the uncovered part of the copper clad is totally etched. PCB
49
5. After 10 - 15 minutes, check the PCB if all the parts needed to be
removed are totally etched (using the two popsicle sticks in hauling).
If there are still unnecessary copper, return it into the plastic basin
filled with ferric chloride and check it again after 3 – 5 minutes.
6. Haul the PCB from the plastic basin and wash with running water to
remove the remaining etching solution and other residues.
7. Dry PCB with a clean piece of cloth.
8. Pour a little amount of lacquer thinner on a clean dry piece of cloth
and wipe the markings of the permanent marker in the copper clad.
(Note: In doing this, you should still wear surgical gloves.)
9. Aided by bright light, inspect the PCB for possible hairline break or
short. If there is a hairline path between the copper conductors, cut it
by a knife or cutter. If there is a break between the copper conductors,
solder it.
50
B. Hairline Short in the PCB Conductor. It arises if the Printed
Circuit Board designing or etching is done improperly. To
eliminate the hairline short, you should cut it with a knife.

Components of 5s
SORT : Identify and separate necessary items from the unnecessary by:
Segregating useful from non-useful items; Recycling items; Disposing
properly non-useful items (bio-degradable or non-biodegradable)
Procedures:
STEP 1: Look around your workplace with your colleagues. Discover
and identify items which are unnecessary to your work. Start with
a RED TAG CAMPAIGN. Decide the maximum number of any type
of item to be retained. Then dispose ALL unnecessary items.
STEP 2: A Disposal Notice with a date can be done to an item that
you cannot decide if it is necessary or not, and set the item aside.
After a period of time, check if no one needed the item. If no one
needed the item, disposal can be done.
71
space or location for storing the things needed to be kept and to be
disposed; Making safety the priority.
Procedures:
STEP 1: Make sure that all unnecessary items are eliminated from your
workplace. Then think of what things should be put where, taking
into account the flow of your work.
STEP 2: Put most frequently needed items close to the user, so as to
minimize the movement of the person. Things which are not so often
used could be placed slightly further away.
You can make a plan with your colleagues based on these principles and
locate things accordingly.
STEP 3
Make sure that everyone at your home/workplace knows what are kept
were for efficient use.
Make a list of things with their locations and put it on lockers/cabinets.
Label each drawer/cupboard to show what is kept inside.

the AC plug (switched “ON” and “OFF”) and the resistance at the alligator
clip (rotating the selector switch). It is a must that no short circuit reading
75
will be encountered. If this happen, do not attempt to energize your
project until the problem is solved.
4. If everything is good, plug the unit to AC outlet, make sure that the power
swith is in “OFF” position first.
5. Turn the power switch “ON”, the neon lamp and LED must light.
6. Rotate the selector switch and stop at its full left turn.
7. Measure the output voltage:
7.1 Set the multitester at range setting 50 V DC (the assumed
maximum voltage is around twelve volts)
7.2 Connect the test probe to the alligator clip observing the polarity.
7.3 Read the voltage at the full left then record it, then rotate the
selector once to the right, then read again until to the last set of
the selector.
8. For reference purpose, measure the supply AC voltage at the primary and
the secondary voltage. Record the readings.
Note: ensure meter is set to AC. Observe safety when measuring AC voltage.
9. Fill Table 4.1 (Reference Voltage Measurement) with the measured voltage
at the primary and output terminals for future references.
10. If necessary, take a picture of the finished AC/DC Power Supply for

Troubleshooting Guide
97
electric fan/ blender unless you have determined the fault. Trace the
fault from the mechanical section or electrical circuit section.
2. When troubleshooting integrated circuits (ICs) in the
electrical/electronic circuit section, do not remove the IC from the
PCB. Secure a circuit diagram from the manufacturer to help you
identify the function of the IC. Consider the pin out of the IC.
3. When troubleshooting in the electrical/ electronic circuit section,
prior to pre-testing, consider voltage measurement on components
first before removing it for testing. If the measured voltage is normal,
the component might be the cause of the problem. Either way, if the
measured voltage is not normal (increased or decreased) the
preceding circuit/ components might be the cause.
4. If the trouble symptom is caused by aging components, the defective
component is usually one of them. However, in high-power-handling
circuits, a defective component may cause other components to
malfunction.
5. Be familiar with the usual defects of components. (e.g. capacitors
usually become leaky, shorted or open/ resistor increase their
resistance when they become defective/ semi-conductors such as
transistors usually become open or shorted)
6. Don’t replace an opened fuse or burned resistor unless you have
corrected the trouble.
7. Always suspect a faulty contact on mechanical switch circuit rather
than defective electronic components.
8. When measuring resistance in the circuit, make sure that the circuit if
OFF and power is not being supplied in the circuit, and that stored
charges in capacitors are properly discharged. Failure to do so can
damage the volt-ohm-milliameter (VOM) and the circuit due to the low
resistance of the ohmmeter.
9. While using a VOM for in-circuit resistance measurement, always
exchange the setting of positive and negative probes. Take the higher
meter reading with the approximate resistance.
10. Use soldering irons with the proper power rating to prevent the
components and the circuit board from being overheated and
damaged. Soldering iron tips should be cleaned and preferably slim.
11. Use proper tools and soldering aids when troubleshooting PCB.
Ground the soldering iron to avoid damaging ICs and transistors.
12. Dry solder joints are hard to detect. However, when they are found or
suspected, remove the components from the PCB; then, file or clean
the leads and solder the joints back.
Reheating dry joints with a new soldering lead is another remedy.
When re-soldering, make sure you do not overheat the components.
Overheating the PCB may cause the copper layer on it to warp and
peel off.
13. USE Personal Protective Equipment.

Before using any other accessory, make sure that the power unit is
turned off and placed on a suitable work surface. Put the protective cover
over the drive that you will not be using.
1. Before using the blender for the first time, wash the blender bowl;
cover funnel, blade assembly, and gasket in warm soapy water.
After washing, rinse well and dry them.
2. To assemble the blender, press the gasket into the recess in the
blade assembly base.
3. Then, insert the blade assembly into the blender bowl from
underneath. Using the lid as a wrench, tighten the blade
assembly into place. The blade assembly must be tightened firmly
to the bowl/jar to prevent leakage.
4. Turn the blender on the high-speed (upper) drive and turn to the
left (counter-clockwise) to lock the blender.
