What to include when writing a great Personal Mission Statement?
When writing a Mission Statement you should: • draft a hand-written or typed out paragraph • describe your best characteristics and how you express them • have specific, measurable outcomes • have a deadline — for example, December 31st. Perhaps the best example of a public Mission Statement was made back in 1960, when John F. Kennedy, referring to the U.S. space program, said that we would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade — a clear goal with a specific timeline for its achievement. And, despite enormous challenges, by mid-1969, Neil Armstrong had taken that “one large step for mankind.” Anyone can easily create a Mission Statement—whether it’s a Company Mission Statement or a Personal Mission Statement.
