SWOT Yourself
The man or woman who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never
fail to accomplish what they set their heart on.
~James Allen
SWOT
- Strengths
- Weakness
- Opportunities
- Threats
Creating a personal SWOT analysis aims to gain insight into your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This analysis helps you to think about the possibilities for your personal and professional growth.
- What are my strengths, or what could I develop?
- What are my weaknesses, what should I shy away from, and what could be improved?
- What opportunities exist out there for me to use my strengths?
- What are the threats? For most people, the threat of self-defeating behaviors, doubts, and fears, not recognizing weaknesses, and looking for opportunities that play to our weaknesses instead of our strengths. Especially not recognizing & acknowledging strengths and playing to them.
Generally, we have two choices in life: work to avoid or minimize weaknesses and use our strengths. Playing to your strengths is always the best option.
If you need assistance in achieving your goals, consider joining a mastermind group, either a real one or one you create in your imagination. In your mind, you can visualize talking to anyone and asking them, "What advice would you give me regarding this situation?" This allows you to analyze the situation objectively by stepping outside of yourself and having an internal conversation.
Thinking and learning about possibilities
Sometimes, you must try many things to discover what you are good at.
Don’t rush the process. It requires some work.
SWOT, like any exercise, is not about putting yourself down or beating yourself up about your weaknesses; it is about looking at things logically and saying, “Okay, these are my better choices or possibilities, and these are probably not.” It is all about what fits you or could fit you best. As we have said many times, we don't want to be a square peg in a round hole.
