Self Assessment
As suggested in the book "Buy then Build" by Walker Deibel https://buythenbuild.com, a self assessment is beneficial to help understand opportunities where personal strengths can be leveraged to successfully grow a business. On the flip side, it also is imperative to avoid the pitfall of buying a business that requires personal weakness to stay afloat. As such, I spent the weekend reflecting on my past successes and failures and what led to them, and took that information and condensed it down to a strengths and weaknesses list.
