Personal SWOT Analysis :

Strengths

Opportunities

Threats

Aversion to risk taking. I am hesitant to start something that I am not familiar with.

Detail oriented. I love auditing, finding and solving problems.

Have a heard time seeing the bigger picture. Can get caught in the importance of details that it can be hard to visioneer.

I love to help others, which can be a great mission for my business.

I am friendly and work great with a team. This is important as starting a company requires building relationships and working with other companies and individuals.

Can tend to easily move on to the next thing if I see if an idea is failing.

Have a supporting husband who is an entrepreneur at heart. He gets excited about coming up with business ideas for friends, family and his wife. :)

My degree in Organizational Management will be valuable in helping me to understand the various aspects or starting and managing a business.

I need a lot of rest after work to recover do to health issues. This can be difficult in starting a business as many hours are required to get a business off of the ground.

I have formed many valuable relationships and expanded my network over the past ten years with my current job and involvement at church. This is a great base to spread word for my business as well as gain customers.

I am still young and have many years ahead of learning, failing and discovering what works.

The area I live in (Kirkland) is booming in the tech industry with Google located here. I can make valuable connections for both ideas and funding.

My parents are very opinionated. Their opinion can be discouraging sometimes.

Money. My husband has been without a job for the past eight months and I am the sole provider currently. We do not have funding to start a business right now.

My current school, work schedule and navigating the newlywed life leaves no time at this stage of my life to dedicate to starting a business.

My health is also a threat because it requires energy that I sometimes do not have.

There are already so many startups out there- it is very popular to be an entrepreneur, so it might be difficult to find a business idea that has not been done yet.

I have an eye to spot gifts and talents in people in my network.

I am good with recruiting and delegating tasks to get projects done.

I can get easily overwhelmed when there are too many balls in the air. I tend to shut down when overwhelmed.
