Finally, reflect on the things that could derail your success. Although threats often cannot be directly controlled, they can be planned for. That’s why it is important to identify as many of them as possi- ble. A threat loses much of its impact when it’s managed and prepared for.
• Ask yourself the following questions to uncover potential threats:
Are there any general threats that I need to think about?
If I don’t address my weaknesses, what problems could they cause?
What set-backs might I face?
What obstacles have other people over- come when they’re trying to get where I want to go?
