Strength and Weakness Assessment
Here’s a tool to help you assess what you have to work with.
Capitalizing on My Strengths

My Personal Brand
With what I already know about capitalizing on my strengths and weaknesses, I can say this about my personal brand.

This is one kind of assessment tool you might use to get ideas from your head onto the page where you can look at them to make decisions about what to keep and what goes away.
Like any great city builder, you want your personal brand set on a foundation of concrete, not on sand. You can’t promote yourself, your brand, or your business, until you know who you are. If you take the time to think through these questions you’ll be farther than most folks are.
