SWOT Analysis Tent Camping: Triumphs
Yes, there are threats; my focusing is on overcoming adversity.
Typical SWOT analysis includes Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. But in my eight weeks now of tent camping with my Great Pyrenees on family land in Upper Michigan, I’ve revised my definition of SWOT to Surprises, Weeks, Observations, and Triumphs.
We can all get bogged down in the specifics of the traditional interpretation, but why not look instead at what good has come from something?
If you want a mention of a threat, at 0348 this morning, the dog began barking from inside the tent and it was her DEFCON 1 bark. She was up out of a sleep and wanting me to let her out so she could ward off a bear. In the time we’ve been in the UP, Upper Peninsula, she’s gone from incessant barking, to only barking when a bear has wandered into our area.
But see, we’ve lived through that, too. A triumph over a threat.
Let’s be positive today.
