In the last couple of weeks, you have been studying investment methods and opportunities for corporations. Using some of the same information and theories, you will apply this to your own personal finance investing opportunities. Investing can be a struggle for many people. The many different options and directions available can quickly become overwhelming. Some are riskier than others. The very best thing to do for yourself is to always go into any investment armed with information. Having a complete picture of your current finances (net worth, net income, and monthly/yearly plan for spending) is the first step in determining the best investment options for you. Having a complete picture of the investment options that might interest you is the second step. After reviewing the Personal Investment and Diversification Resource, in particular the last page of resources, determine how you might incorporate some of these investment opportunities into growing your own personal wealth. 

IntroductionIn this third stage, please consider your strengths and weaknesses in your personality. Knowing your own strengths and weaknesses gives you a better understanding of yourself and how you function – as a leader, follower, and team member. Consider what makes you unique. Keep in mind that strengths are not always talents. You may have a natural talent for writing or playing basketball, but what makes you unique is that you display a willingness to continually grow, or display grit and resiliency in the face of adversity. These traits generally can be acquired.Other examples could include moral strengths such as integrity, honesty or empathy. Being able to identify both your strengths and weaknesses is a valuable tool - especially when it comes to leadership. Successful leaders develop their strengths and manage their weaknesses. You might consider completing a self-assessment to identify your strengths or ask others that know you well (assessment by others). Consider who you are and who you want to become, what is important to you and what you want your legacy to be, and what you are most passionate about.Unit Learning OutcomesEvaluate the role of developing skills to be an effective leader (CLO 2).Recognize how to apply conceptual skills when facing challenges (CLO 5).Identify how to utilize your strengths and the strengths of others to build a more effective team (CLO 4 and CLO 6).DirectionsBegin writing out your strengths and weaknesses in your personality.Due DateSubmit by 11:59 p.m., Sunday, CT.Individual Profile ProjectRequirementsRequirementsEach student will research and have at least four quality sources/references for this project.
