SWOT Analysis

We all get judged by the people around us for every twitch we make, they decide whats right or wrong in us & for us based on their experiences, morals, ideals , values & so on. But many of us miss the single most important thing in defending ourselves to people around us & that is SWOT Analysis. This blog will help you explore the power of SWOT Analysis & its benefits to you.

Introduction
SWOT is an abbreviation for S -Strength, W - Weaknesses , O - Opportunities & T -Threats. The analysis of these 4 main pillars will help you to determine your capability, mistakes, right time to take action & correct precautions to be taken while working on any task. This is the best form of Self Analysis which can be practiced daily in order to take crucial decisions in any situation.
We will now take a look at all of them individually.

Strengths
This is knowing your abilities, potential, talents, hidden talents, skills, assets for all that you can do at its best. Analysing & knowing your strengths gives you the clarity of what you can do, how you can do it , how far can you push your limits to get it done in the best way possible. It helps you to use your assets, skills ,talents at its fullest & can make goals achievable within your complete capability. Many times people who observe us daily spot our strengths but at the end its only you who knows whether that is really your speciality. To understand your strengths you need to use the tips below

1. Realise what you love.

2. Identify your true passion in life.

3. Explore your potential, try new things constantly to know what you are good at the most.

4. Be ready to take challenges. That way you will know what really tests your skills.

5. Give your 100 % to everything, it will give honest & accurate results.

Weaknesses
Now most of us either shy away from accepting these or are reluctant enough to not even analyse them. But believe me this is the most important factor you should know about yourself, even more than knowing your strengths. Not only because it will prevent others from taking your advantage but also because it will help you realise your limits when it comes to any given task. Its also good to know your weaknesses as mostly they can be converted into your strengths with consistent efforts. Accepting your weaknesses doesn't make you incapable, its rather a proof that you know what you are.
Here are few tips to analyse your weaknesses.

1. Whenever you fail , don't let the failure overpower your drive to fightback. Rise again & this time you are improved person.

2. Don't label them as "weakness" say its a "challenge" , that will help you overcome the problem.

3. Accept your weaknesses, never give up on efforts to convert them in strengths.

4. Never stop learning, if you don't know something , say " I don't know" theres nothing wrong it. 

Opportunities
This is partly based on your perception, as only you can decide whether a situation is an opportunity or not. The foremost concept to analyse opportunities around you is to keep your eyes open, stay updated about the surroundings & be insatiably hungry to grab every chance that comes your way. Once you let go the control within no time someone else will be incharge & you won't be in position to do anything about it. So its crucial to recognize where you can fit in the best, also when you know this, you can ask for the work be specially assigned to you so that you can prove your merit. Few tips to analyse opportunuties are:-

1. Look at every situation as an opportunity.

2. Every success is an opportunity , every failure is even bigger one. Never let it go , take a chance & flip your doom into fortune.

3. When you are sure of yourself , don't hesitate from asking for a responsibilty to be placed on you. 

4. You are the creator of opportunities for yourself, every task you do gives you a chance to achieve another goal.

5. Be alert, be updated about your surroundings , its the best way to find an opportunity.

Threats
Now these are again broadly divided in 2 parts
Risks - which can be calculative so that they earn you profits with a thrilling challenge ride.
Dangers - an area you will regret stepping into for the rest of your life if you do so. These are to be strictly avoided at any cost. Even if the others think you are coward.
With these 2 getting cleared you know exactly what to do & more than that exactly what not to do. Analysing threats doesn't mean being afraid to do everything, it means that every choice you make should have a wise, practical & sound thought behind it as a foundation for your final decision. Calculative risks will help you learn new things irrespective of whether you succeed or fail. On the contrary dangers will put you in a place where there would be no way back. So keep in mind these few pointers while analysing threats.

1. Take your time to make final decision, be practical, be accountable & be futuristic.

2. Don't hesitate to take an advice, suggestion or help to decide what is right. But at the end decision must come from you. Others shouldn't decide on your behalf.

3. Give an in depth analysis to all the pros & cons of that situation, this will give you clarity to decide.

4. Step in only when you are 100 % sure, don't do it halfway or just because someone else is pressing on you. 

5. Once you decide either yay or nay , don't give it a second thought, go ahead & execute, the results will follow.

  1. I completely & utterly love this concept of SWOT analysis. I couldn't have agreed more. SWOT analysis is basically self evaluation & analysis and to take call which is of best interest for us. Knowing weakness & accepting that, one can always try to turn that into their strength and abide that with opportunities. It's normal daily life analysis, people go about without putting much thoughts into their daily routine, that's why such topics are highly important. Thank you for bringing light to such concept. It's a need for soul awakening!
