Mission Statements Improve Goal Setting and Decision Making

A Mission Statement consists of a short phrase or a few sentences that form an overview of your core priorities and guiding principles. It describes what you are trying to accomplish and what you value. It forms the basis for all of your long-term planning and outlines the overall direction of where and what you would like to be. Writing personal Mission Statements gives you the opportunity to establish what's really important and to make decisions to stick to before you even start setting goals. They allow you to connect with your own unique purpose and help improve your Goal Setting, Time Management, and decision making processes.

MyGoalManager.com's system uses the following 12 major Goal Areas or Goal Types: Adventure, Artistic, Asset, Career, Charity, Family, Financial, Education, Health, Recreation, Social, and Spiritual. The system allows you to create personal Mission Statements for each of these Goals Areas which sets the foundation for your Goals in each area. These statements reflect your perceptions of the end result of all endeavors within a Goal Area. All of the Goals you set for a given Goal Type should be agree with its Mission Statement and should help fulfill the statement.

Mission Statements are broad and not specific like goals and they have no deadlines. Mission Statements might include phrases like "help as many people as I can", "eat better", "make more money", or "be happier". When writing Mission Statements ask yourself questions like "What would I like to accomplish and contribute?". Your Mission Statements will most likely evolve over time and you may need to revise them as your objectives become clearer over time.

When you review your Goals be sure to also review your Mission Statements to make sure all of your Goals are aligned with your core values and priorities. MyGoalManager.com's "Goal Plan Outline Report" shows all of your Mission Statements and Goals in a structured, easy to read format.
