Now that you have spent some quality time and thought through and decided on your life’s purpose and have your vision outlined. You will need to spend some time describing the details of how you will go about your mission.
Your mission is your plan:
- Get where you want to go
- What you will do
- (And if you really like details) The specific steps and activities you will take.
In a nut shell your mission statement describes what you want now and how you will achieve your long term aspiration.
Example: My mission is to help new business start-up owners, transform into impactful business leaders.
What makes a good vision and mission statement?
- A good vision and mission statement is concise and inspirational.
- It’s easy to memorize and repeat.
- It should be clear, engaging, and realistic, and describe a bright future.
- It should furthermore state your intentions, summarize your values, and demonstrate your commitment to living up to these values.
“My vision is to be an honest, empathetic and impactful start-up coach and leader and to be recognized internationally within my industry. I am committed to growing as a leader and delivering value-added design to the end users. My mission is to help new business start-ups owners transform into impactful business leaders.
I suggest you combine the two into a vision and mission statement. Define the overall essence of what you want to achieve and then look at what you are doing to achieve it.
Ideally, the vision and mission statement should also be aligned with the values, culture of the organization you currently work with. If your personal values and aspirations are being matched by your clients, it will be much easier to progress and fulfill your dreams.
Everyone’s Mission / Vision Statement will look and sound completely different. It’s important that it encapsulates your values and aspirations, and that it makes you feel really good and inspired when you read it aloud. As your view of yourself and the future changes, it is important that you review, update and refine your vision and mission statement at least once every six months. If you feel really inspired, you may even want to expand it with more detail and turn it into a personal development plan. So get scribbling and imagine how nice it will be to start out on your journey with a clear roadmap for where you want to go and how to get there!
Here’s To Your Success,
Until next time!
Prosperously yours,
