PLANNING
How can I make money doing what I love?

The Hedgehog concept was developed by philosopher Isaiah Berlin, and adapted for business by Jim Collins in his book "Good to Great". The concept is simple:
DO THE ONE THING GREAT!
Think of the ancient Greek parable, "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." The fox has a million ways to get the hedgehog, but he can't because the hedgehog has an unbeatable defence mechanism. Be the hedgehog. This tool will help you figure out your one great thing.

SWOT analysis is a fundamental tool that can assist you in the discovery and evaluation phase of planning your business. It helps you identify and qualify strategic goals by making judgment calls about your business idea.
As a rule, Strengths and Weaknesses reflect internal considerations, and Opportunities and Threats or Challenges reflect external considerations.
A SWOT analysis can be carried out for a:
-
Company
-
Product
-
Location
-
Industry
-
Person
It involves specifying the objectives of the business or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favourable and unfavourable to achieving that objective.
