Welcome to Day 29 of 30 Days To Your Financial Freedom Challenge!
When it comes to ensuring you can weather a financial crunch, it can help you with decision making if you know what your life mission is. Knowing in advance what your principles, morals, and values are can guide you in making the right choices that keep you from making mistakes that you find hard to live with.
Your mission statement describes your business or life, what you do, who you do it for, and why you do it. Creating a mission statement for your business and your life will help you in more ways than you know. You can look at that statement before you decide to ensure that you’re on the right path.
To assist you with creating your mission statement, you’ll need to:
Discover Your Guiding Principles
Everyone has a different guiding principle that drives them. For some, it’s to exceed customer expectations. For others, it’s being seen as a leader. For yet more, it’s sharing knowledge, or teamwork, or even living the golden rule.
Know Your Morals
One way to look at this is through your religion, but another way to look at this is via your personality. Morals are the way you define right and wrong in your own head, not based on the laws of the land, but of course, those have to come into play too.
Identify Your Core Values
What are the fundamental beliefs you bring to your business or your family that you want everyone to share? The core values help you know right from wrong in the sense that it’s right or wrong for you. For example, if one of your values is security, you need to know this because it’ll inform your choices in the future.
If you’re writing a business mission statement:
-
- Know Your Target Audience
- Know Your Product or Service
- Know What Makes Your Product Unique
If you’re writing a life mission statement:
-
- Know what and who you value
- Know where you want to go
- Know how you want people to describe you
Now what you need to do is put together the mission statement in just a few words or sentences. Look at examples of mission statements to help you get it right. Keep it short, remember to include your why, and remember that you can change it whenever you know more and learn more about yourself and the world.
