Run a practical SWOT analysis with me, then help me act on it.

My business: [WHAT YOU DO AND HOW LONG]
Current situation: [HONEST STATE — GROWING, STUCK, JUST STARTING]
What's on my mind: [ANY WORRY OR OPPORTUNITY]

Build a SWOT where:
- Strengths and Weaknesses are internal and specific (not "good customer service")
- Opportunities and Threats are external and realistic
- Every item is concrete enough to act on

Then:
1. Pick the single strength I'm underusing
2. Pick the single weakness most worth fixing first
3. Give me one action for each I could take this month

Ask me 2–3 questions first if you need them to make this useful rather than generic.

Example scenario

A studio owner could use this to look honestly at their strengths and risks, like leaning on a single referral source.
