A Personal Vision or A Mission Statement
“Vision is the blue dot, the guiding light that helps lost travelers to reach their destination, their goal.” There is a clear definition between personal vision and mission statement, but it can get confusing at times. This article presents a great post from a great blog, the only correction I have is, it should be vision not mission statement
Michael Miles wrote a great article some time back titled The Value of a Personal Mission Statement on the Dumb Little Man blog. The author however calls a person’s vision as mission statement. I think the article points out a great list of tips for a great vision. Going back to the definition, vision is a desired state that you want to be at, mission statement is defining the principles that you will follow to get there, in other words, mission statement is how you will get there. We have talked about vision, mission statement and how they are different in article titled why you need vision. The purpose of Vision is to define which wall you want to climb, Values ensure that you are using the right ladder to climb the wall and Mission statements define how you plan to climb the wall with the right ladder. We also talked about the difference between the three elements of success and how they relate to each other. Still confused? Read Benjamin Franklin’s mission statement.
