In this week’s training video, we learn how SWOT will be your core foundational element for your marketing and financial plan. The strength and weaknesses are internal factors, while opportunities and threats are external factors that apply to both you and your business.

So here a few tips on how to use the SWOT Analysis to your business:

Strengths & Weaknesses: 1^st you can use personality profile to determine these. These profiles can help you discover what your strengths and weaknesses are. Also, you want to look at what are the high impact and high-income producing activities that you are using for your business. Now look at how your strengths can play into these high impact and high income producing activities. And from there figure out what your weaknesses are, these will be things that you should outsource to make sure that your business is running optimally.

Once you have all this written out, you can start developing a plan using all of this information.  What you can and should be doing vs. what you need help with.
