Got a Haphazard Life, Business or Organization?
Create a Mission Statement and Be Sure of Your Purpose -
Jack Canfield
suggests creating a mission statement for
yourself and then when you are sure of your purpose, always
saying no to anything that doesn't fit with your mission
statement. This is an excellent suggestion, yet one
that many of us find hard to implement. How
do you apply a mission statement to a haphazard
or overscheduled life, business or organization?
Most of us do
not schedule our time wisely until it comes at too high
a price to pay. Create and schedule a plan.
Half the battle is keeping to the plan. It is like
praying every day......you just do it, no matter what, and
soon, it becomes a habit and produces results!
Create
and carry out daily actions to support your mission
statement, pay attention to what is working and
what is not and over time, your haphazard life, business
or organization will become focused on your intended purpose.
Set goals and then create multiple strategic activities
to go with each goal. These goals and activities should
support your mission statement and when you add the daily
actions that must be done to carry out each of your planned
strategic activities, this becomes your strategic plan.
Remember, not only must you plan your work but you
must also work the plan! It is those small, daily
actions, performed over time, that will allow you to fulfill
your intended mission and purpose. For more detailed,
