Why I Need A Mission Statement
So, you have your thoughts and goals written down for your business.
What now?
Let me tell you a little about why I need the mission statement for my business in front of me each day:
As I mentioned, I own a bridal store and I really love running my bridal store. I also have lots of other things that I like to do. One of my "hobbies" is collecting vintage wedding gowns. I probably own 8-10 gowns of varying age and style. Occasionally, I will put a few of these gowns on display at my store; they are great conversation pieces! However, pretty soon I'll find myself accessorizing these gowns, fussing with these gowns, and starting to shop for more vintage gowns! THAT is when I have to read my mission statement again and refocus my energy.
I use my mission statement as a reminder of where to spend time, money, and energy in my business. It reminds me of WHY I am doing what I am doing.
So, be encouraged to put your mission statement somewhere where you can see it easily and regularly. Memorize it; share it with your employees; and refer to it often!
