Making Time Work For You: The importance of having a mission statement

A company’s mission statement tells everyone what is important to your company. It states what you believe in, strive to accomplish, and plan for the future. It guides your decision making, goal setting, and daily operations. If you are an entrepreneur, your mission statement should say what it is you do, who you do it for, how you do it and why you do it. Here are five advantages of having a mission statement.

1. Helps to keep everyone focused on what you consider to be important.

2. Provides direction and purpose for yourself and your organization.

3. Reminds you why you are in business and keeps you from being distracted or sidetracked by other opportunities.

4. Helps you to draw up meaningful goals.

5. Helps prioritize the things you do.

Once you have a mission statement, you can develop specific goals that help you to further your mission. Your goals tells us what it is you’re going to do and when you’re going to do it. Your mission statement explains why you are doing it.
