“Wow... that’s all I can say. Please allow God to continue to give strategic ways to make His people/creation BETTER.”

- Freddy
“I was given the Preface just to give me a general idea of what the book was about and couldn’t stop reading until I finished the book! Such impactful and inspiring words. The book was an easy read & short in length. A book that speaks to youth, young adults and older adults in whatever stage of life you are currently in. The book had me saying, “That’s me” or “I think or say that about myself.” Self-conviction is what I need. The book gives personal real-life examples S.W.O.T. analysis. I can truly say I have been SWOTTED! I would definitely recommend the book to family, friends or co-workers who is looking to see themselves as their own business!”
- Cetha Thompson, Arlington, TX
“I had a whole out of body experience! My favorite parts are the weaknesses and threats. Sometimes, the threats can be ourselves. For a moment, I just wanted to get into the author’s head and figure out how and who comes up with this?! I want to go get a fly swatter and just start ‘Swotting’ my whole life!”
- Salina Thomas, Bedford TX
“This book is so amazing and I am encouraged... can’t wait to start using the S.W.O.T method in my own personal life as well as my nonprofit organization. This has inspired me to pick up where I left off and analyze my own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. I already know four people who I am buying this book for. “
- Robin Carter, Swansea IL

This book is dedicated to the Biernes family. Andrew and Melody, you both have been an inspiration to me from the first day we met. To be parents of more than one child with special needs, you have demonstrated exactly what this book is all about! You take advantage of opportunities, you are overcoming the threats that life has thrown your way, you consistently reinforce your personal strengths as a married couple and work diligently on your weaknesses individually. You each do all of this as you maintain your faith in God along the way!
Be encouraged! Be steadfast! Endure hardness as good soldiers!
Preface:
The S.W.O.T analysis is one that businesses use to assess their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This gives the organization a visual of how they are doing currently, where they can improve, and what it will take to get them to their desired outcomes of success.
As a student in the Administrator in Training (AIT) Program at Tarrant County College, I sat in class during a Marketing lecture and I wrote these words in my notebook: SWOT your Life! Every principle being discussed came to me as a new inspiration toward the next steps that I would take in my own life. I learned to “Inspect what you Expect!”
Me being me, I could not help but to apply this analysis to my personal life and encourage the next person to do the same. After all, you are your own business!
SWOT Your Life
Author Christohe Speth, wrote the simplest narrative to help us to understand the benefits of this analysis. In this book, I will refer to his book to give you some background on the subject. I will offer some insight on how it relates to the you that you are today. You are your business, therefore, it is time to get personal and become an active participant in growing yourself.
Christophe acknowledges that the SWOT analysis, or SWOT method is an acronym of the terms Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Next, he informs his readers about what the model is used for and why it is so successful. He explains that organizations, businesses, associations, public administrations etc. use this model to quickly identify both its internal factors which are linked to the internal functioning and its external factors that depend on the ever evolving environment. He states that the SWOT analysis is used as a “decision-making tool” and used to facilitate the development of strategic plans.
As I read through the pages of The SWOT Analysis: A Key tool for developing your business strategy, I could not help but to go back to the thoughts that lingered in my mind as an AIT student during our marketing lecture. We were preparing for a large group project which would require us to create our own business and develop its Marketing plan. Reverend Regina Franklin, our Program Director and instructor at that time, brought up the S.W.O.T. analysis and how companies used this tool to establish successful marketing strategies. The idea is to determine the company’s current strengths, weaknesses, its opportunities and any threats that may create a hindrance or opposition. Right then, my mind, as it usually does, took this tool on to evaluate my own business.
