Do you have any negative work habits (often late, disorganized, easily stressed)?

Do you feel confident about your skills, experience, and education?

Do you have any personality traits that might hold you back? For example, do you have a fear of public speaking, yet work where you are expected to conduct regular meetings?

Again, consider how others see you.

Opportunities

Do you have a network of influential contacts that can help or offer advice?

Is there a need in your company or industry that no one else has been able to fill?

Are there trends in your company that you can use to your advantage?

Can you offer solutions to problems within your company?

Do any of your weaknesses pose a threat?

What threats to your overall plan are there?
