Mission statements aren’t just for businesses. A personal mission statement is the explanation of who you are and the road map for who you will become. A personal mission statement is a true reflection of your authentic self.
The process of writing a personal mission statement forces you to explore your values, beliefs, dreams, and purpose in life. As a manager, a personal mission statement is important to determine how you will lead and grow as a professional.
A personal mission statement can answer the following questions:
- What work is important to you
- How you want to spend your free time
- How you operate
- Why you do what you do
- What is important to you
- What the best version of you looks like
- How you will use your skills and abilities to help others
- The kind of people you want to be connected to
- Your individual definition of success
Prioritization is important. A personal mission statement is valuable when identifying your goals and maintaining the motivation to achieve them. A personal mission statement also helps you creates personal boundaries so that you stay focused and on track. You can review your personal mission statement to ensure that the ways you invest your time, money, and relationships is aligned with who you are and who you want to be. A personal mission statement should be simple, concise, easy to remember.
