Hey Reader,
Back in December, I shared that I had been holding on to a SWOT Analysis Workbook for more than 6 months without sharing it out.
I was waiting for it to be "perfect" or "ready."
The truth is, it's likely never going to be perfect...but it can be ready.
So I shared it with you and got some really great feedback.
I've made some adjustments from that feedback, and wanted to share it again today.
Why? Well, because what I would typically do is receive that feedback and spend another 6 months trying to "fix it" and make it "perfect." So instead of doing what I normally do, I'm trying the whole "practice what you preach" thing, and just putting it right back out there for more feedback.
We often fear feedback because we receive it as criticism. We worry about what people will say, how they will tear it apart, and how we'll feel about it.
But that feedback is crucial to improving and being better for those we serve.
So, here we go.
I'd really love your feedback on this free SWOT Analysis Worksheet.
A SWOT Analysis is an exercise meant to help you overcome challenges, identify opportunities for growth, maximize your efforts, and protect your business from potential threats. This PDF download is a simple guide and worksheet to help you assess the 4 factors and how they impact your business or side hustle.
I've found that working through a SWOT analysis is a simple, but powerful way for you to ask questions that we don't always think to ask ourselves. In my experience, it has led to some really valuable conversations and adjustments. I hope you find the same value.
I'm including a link to the worksheet below. I'd be curious to know your thoughts on it.
- Is it something you would have given me your name and email for?
- Is it valuable to you at all? Why or why not?
- Is it clear on how to use it?
- Doe it just suck?
- What changes would make it better?
Could you do me a huge favor and hit 'reply' and let me know what you think? Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Here’s a go-to content idea when you’re stuck: Document a behind-the-scenes decision.
