In business, top executives often evaluate their current and future strategic planning using these 2 tools. They use the PEST (Political, Environmental, Social And Technological) tool to assess the current and future trends in their external ecosystem and how they might impinge on their own business and the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) tool to assess and evaluate their internal world. Since an average 40-year career will earn around US$3 million (maybe a great deal more in your case), shouldn’t you be using these valuable tools too, to plan your own multi-million-dollar future? They are simple to use but profoundly important and can further help you to get on the right track towards work-life alignment. Spend a good amount of time on completing these so this ever-changing world does not sneak up and surprise you while you were watching Netflix!
