Abstract:
Entrepreneurship is a challenging pursuit that requires tenacity and resilience to navigate the unpredictable business environment. This study examines the influence of resilience skills on entrepreneurial success, specifically in Poblacion, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. Resilience skills, including self-awareness, emotional regulation, problem-solving, and adaptability, are essential for entrepreneurs to manage challenges and ensure business sustainability. The study employed a descriptive research design with 100 micro-entrepreneurs across various sectors, selected using purposive heterogeneous sampling. Data were collected through a structured survey and analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results indicate a significant positive relationship between resilience skills and entrepreneurial success, with self-awareness and adaptability being the most influential skills. Emotional regulation showed a less direct impact on success, suggesting that while valuable, it requires complementary skills. The study emphasizes the importance of resilience in strategic decision-making, stress management, and market adaptability. These findings support the need for resilience training and mentorship programs to enhance entrepreneurial capabilities. However, the study is limited to micro-entrepreneurs in Poblacion, Tagoloan, and excludes data from larger corporations or regulated sectors. Future research could expand the scope to explore resilience in different business environments and industries. The study’s results contribute to the development of more resilient entrepreneurial ecosystems, offering insights for entrepreneurs, business educators, and policymakers. Promoting resilience through training programs can better prepare entrepreneurs for long-term success, fostering more sustainable and innovative business practices in underserved communities. Additionally, it will improve their capacity to handle external pressures effectively, enhancing their business adaptability and overall resilience.
