SWOT
This idea came from the dark recesses of my mind. For those not in the know a SWOT analysis is some sort of management exercise - Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats. Here we go
STRENGTH
STRENGTH
- I know what to do.
- I've got all the books and information I need
- The 'net offers plenty of advice and motivation from fellow travellers
- I live in a state with wonderful weather so getting outdoors is no problem
- I've been fit before (muscle memory)
- I've got a beautiful wife whom is supportive
WEAKNESS
- I work shift work
- My body is run down from years of abuse
- I like to drink soft-drink
- I like to drink alcohol
- I'm constantly tired
- Have a fear about injuring myself
- It's been so long since I was The Man (do I still have it?)
- What happens if I fail in my quest yet again?
OPPORTUNITIES
- Relative easy access to the gym (that i'm paying for but don't use)
- Park right outside my unit

THREATS
