SCENARIO: P1.
Explain how knowledge of personal strengths and weaknesses can be applied to preparing for and contributing to a business

When setting up a business you need to have passion, confidence and knowing your skills set. The business I intend to set up is a Window cleaning business. There are certain things needed to follow to set up me business and they are Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats and Skills.

Skills
There are several skills that are needed to operate a successful window cleaning business, which are good communication skills, customer service and time management skills.

Strengths
I have little experience of customer service; this will come under one of my strengths. With the little customer service skill that I have, I am able to communicate with customer and find out their needs and how I can provide that best customer service possible

Weaknesses
My weaknesses could affect my business because I am bad at time keeping, which could affect my business because if am always late my customers will look for someone else. One of my weaknesses is motivation, this can affect my business because if I am not motivated I won’t be interested in doing my job and not enjoying the job and will end up just doing a bad job in anger.

Opportunities
If my window cleaning business is successful I would employ two people. I will also expand my business by going online and advertising my websites. By doing this it will help my business get more recognition from online users.

Threats
Threats are always on business owners mind because just you could slip up and even worst it might be the economic downturn which could make you lose everything you earned. This also means my business could get some competition from top internet sellers that have a better advertising than me.

P2
Identify how regulations and laws for small

    This is the first formal theory of aging and it was brought forward by Elaine Cumming and William Henry in 1961, and they looked at how society views older people. During their research they found that older people disengaged from society. They argue that older personnel withdraw from society, for example they stop working/retirement, they stop socialising, they feel that they are no longer needed by wider society, for example they younger generation, the wider society does not include family and friends, and that age is a number that represents what we can and cannot do. On reflection we can see that this view is flawed because it is very dated and does not show a true picture of today’s society and views. Also this view is the total opposite of the newer activity theory.…

    This being said the business that I would love to open is a garden center or nursery. Marshalls is going to be a leader in indoor tropical houseplants and foliage. We will not only sell the plants but offer landscaping services and free classes to customers on how to maintain the plants that they do have. I have worked in this field my entire life and have seen many businesses of this type come and go for many reasons. I feel that after working in the field for 12 years I have a good grasp on the reasons why people were successful and unsuccessful. This alone will help me dramatically in the formation of the business because I will not make many of the same mistakes that other companies I have worked for made in the past.…
