SWOT Analysis

[04:38]

A simple, proven, and tested tool like SWOT Analysis can be used to help you tremendously. SWOT Analysis pertains to:

1. Strengths. It happens internally and these are things where you are great at like time management, self-awareness, being accountable, having the right mindset, etc.

2. Weaknesses. It happens internally and these are things that can be the opposite of your strength like not being great at time management, poor at outsourcing, weak at delegation, fear of missing out, and doing everything by yourself.

3. Opportunities. It happens externally and these are things where you can capitalize on things that you are lacking to propel yourself like creating a website, establishing your Google footprint, expanding your reach to your customers, and building your skill set.

4. Threats. It happens externally and these things are difficult to fathom and often unpredictable or predictable like the COVID Pandemic, social platform policy changes, algorithm changes, and intense market competition.

PEST Analysis
