Do your own personal monthly SWOT analysis

Do your own personal monthly SWOT analysis

This is a good way to start off thinking about your month ahead.

  • Strengths from the month prior. What went really well professionally?
  • Weakness from last month. What failed?
  • Opportunities ahead. What are the trends? What are customers/clients thinking about? Given your strengths, what can you capitalize on?
  • Threats in the coming month. This requires you to be a pure realist with a dash of cynicism.

After you’ve outlined your SWOT and have a clear picture, you can start to think about how you’re going to dodge those threats and lean into your strengths tactically.

Don’t isolate

Moments of self-reflection and time alone are very important. But that doesn’t mean leaning on your independence is the key to peace of mind.

Around 64% of freelancers feel lonely with no support. That’s detrimental to success, creativity, and grit.

Tell people what you want/need and what’s keeping you from getting there. Often, they’ll share an idea, connection, or resource that will help you overcome your most frustrating obstacles

Practice the art of reframing my worries

Most worries are pointless —In her TED talk, Isabelle Mercier puts it perfectly. 92% of what most people worry about has already happened or isn’t going to happen.

Every time you have a worrying thought, write it down and reframe it as an opportunity — it works 99% of the time. So, for example:

Worrying Thought: “I feel like I’m going to lose this client.” Reframed Opportunity: “If I send them some creative ideas for our next project, the client is more likely to work with me again.”

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
