SWOT Analysis on you and SWOT Analysis on your business

Turning weaknesses and challenges into opportunities to learn and grow.

Welcome to mapping the journey of where you are at.

The SWOT Analysis is a general map of where you are now and by the time you complete this book, you will have the tools to start, grow and develop your business.

Undertaking a SWOT Analysis enables you to assess your current position. It determines what you and your business are good at and what may need attention.

Conducting a SWOT Analysis of yourself and your business is a lot more fun than it sounds. It won’t take much time, and doing it encourages you to think about yourself and your business in a whole new way.

Locus of Control

Locus of control is a concept that refers to how strongly people believe they have control over the situations and experiences that affect their lives. In business, we use this model as our decision-making tool to help us focus on what we can control and influence and not on what we have NO CONTROL or INFLUENCE over.

When you have completed your SWOT Analysis go back through it and work out which ones you have control over and which ones you have influence over and notice any you have written that you have no control or influence over.

At SHOW ME THE MONEY Mentoring, we focus on what we can control (which is ourselves) and what we could potentially influence (which is others) and we eliminate wasting time, money and effort on things we have no control or influence over.

We can’t control others, we can only influence them. The question is, how influential are we?

For example, saying global catastrophe, global economic collapse or government regulations changing, is not something you have a lot of control or influence over.

In your SWOT Analysis make sure you have CONTROL or INFLUENCE, avoid putting things down that you can’t do anything about. Just saves your energy worrying about things, that are a waste of time to bother yourself about. You have enough to focus on when building a business.

What do you have control over?

_____________________________________________________

Your systems, processes, sales ability, having an open mind, procrastination, and your attitude to sales and administration will all play apart in your business success.

What do you have influence over?

What DON’T you have control over?

Mastering business is not an art, it’s practical and easy, once you understand it. This book sets out to provide women with an opportunity to learn and apply simple real-world steps to win in business.

For some, being in business doesn’t come as naturally as it may for others. Many can get hung up on the day-to-day operations without taking time to step back and assess whether they are succeeding, or may simply not know what to do to take their venture to the next level. My goal is to clarify business and equip you with the necessary tools to leap forward and achieve financial success.

I will help you understand business from the ground up using strategies and techniques designed to teach and empower you, the business owner. You will complete this program feeling inspired and ready to tackle the obstacles that previously you hadn’t been able to break through.

Leave it to me to Show you the Money.

Mary Philippou

For as long as I can remember, business has been my love. From my earliest days, helping my father in his business through to building and developing consecutive successful businesses for myself as an adult.

Business is in my blood, it is my passion, it is the reason I exist.

It is who I am.

Growing a business is intoxicating.

Being successful is my lifeblood.

I want you to know those feelings. To experience the satisfaction that comes from hard-earned success, to create something special, to achieve financial security for you and your loved ones.

I want to teach, guide, inspire and support you on your journey and in the process, help you to make the financial gains you so badly desire and deserve.
