Personal SWOT Analysis

SWOT is a framework for analyzing your strengths and weaknesses as well as the opportunities and threats that you face. There is a saying which tells us that those who know what are their strengths and needs are in better position than those with limited self-knowledge. It is a great weapon to evaluate yourself in order to plan for your destiny and goals.

-When personal SWOT analysis is needed?

While choosing a career or making any important life decision – You have to assess yourself by knowing what are your strengths and opportunities that complements each other well and the weaknesses and the threats that we have to overcome.

Strengths/Opportunities

 As an example we can say that if you have good writing a critical thinking skills, you get the opportunity to write blogs, articles etc. at any cost you should try to avail it. Other the opportunities which you can avail and have wider scope but your skills don’t match with the profession in which you are trying to be prosperous is just like a computer hardware without a software. If your strength and opportunities supports traits of each other that will be the start of your success and surely you will reach your destination very easily.

Weaknesses/Opportunities

If you get opportunity but it doesn’t complement your skills, it should be your second priority because you can overcome your weaknesses of skills by hard working and consistency but you can’t sit and wait for the opportunity that defines your interest, so it is better to start learning and improving your skill slowly as it will be worth it as you may leave behind your weakness and failures. If you think it’s a must for you to overcome your weakness then nothing can stop you to achieve your goals, so we need to be consistent, hardworking and passionate.

Strengths/Threats

Strength and threats have a root relation between them. They both oppose the traits of each other such as if u have power to do something but u have fear to lose it due to this your confidence level reduces which automatically decreases your strength which means it weakens the roots of success. To overcome this threat, we need strategies to eliminate weakness and turn them into strength which prevents strategies to reduce the likelihood or severity of the threats. Threats can be your emotions, long term effects of wrong decisions, pressure of competition etc.

Weaknesses/Threats

Weakness and threats are strongly interrelated because both have negative effect on our strength and opportunity which is directly related to maintenance of your success. They both have different roots as we produce weaknesses by ourselves but we get threats from foreign bodies, threats encourage the weaknesses so firstly we have to work on our weakness than we can avoid to get the threats but they are the main lead actor of the failure.

In conclusion, we can use it to assess ourselves, compare ourselves against our peers/competitors and also use it to find career growth opportunities.

I hope this will be useful for you guys too....
