<h2>When You Should Run A SWOT Analysis?</h2>
There is a myth related to SWOT that it could be done at the end of the year or once in a year. That’s the totally wrong approach when you start a small business you have to work hard you have to analyze things even on a daily basis what you have done? What was your barbershop performance? Have you achieved your targets?

In short, most people do their business SWOT analysis at the end of the year. 70% of businesses fail at the end of the year just because of a lack of accountability and proper planning.
As a business specialist, I will suggest you,
“Do SWOT once a Week”
“Do SWOT once a Month”
“Do SWOT once a Year”
