Many times you get into a company and the first thing that greets you is the receptionist and the companies' mission statement. The mission statement is either hanged in a huge board for all to see. It will also be on the top page of the brochure, which will be on top of the table at the waiting room. To hang a mission statement for all to see is a great thing; however I have been reading many mission statements in my visits in many offices not in one country but in many and one thing come out clearly.
Success and Your Personal Mission and Vision
Successful people define a clarity of purpose and direction for their lives and careers. Your clarity of purpose and direction should include both a personal mission (your purpose) and a personal vision (your direction). Your mission is your reason for living, why you are on this earth. It is unlikely to change over the long run. Your vision is a short or medium term goal that defines the direction you will take over the next three to five years. It will change are you grow and develop in your life and career. Your vision must be consistent with your mission.
How to Write Your Personal Mission/Vision Statement to Achieve Your Goals

Customers And Loyalty Come With Devoted and Enthusiastic Retailing-Part II
Are you going through the motions as you show up at your store each morning. Devotion and enthusiastic retailing involves you the owner and your own enthusiastic devotion to your business and what you want to do that is truly special and unique with your business. Your enthusiasm should be helping you create a business with a soul. If your business has a soul, it affects your entire purpose for existing and your mission as well. A business with a soul effects the kinds of employees, customers and the relationships you want with each. This means developing a mission statement that is filled with more than meaningless but impressive sounding statements. Historically, meaningless mission statements have been a joke and most of them never see the light of day, much less being read.

Are YOU Walking The Talk?
When you create vision and mission statements for your company you are communicating to your customers, vendors, prospects, employees, and the entire outside world. When we create these visions and missions, we are creating value statements, and as an owner or manager you have to deliver, with those values, results! I like to call that “Walking the Talk”. There is no doubt that companies that consistently “Walk their Talk” do better than those that don’t.

Visions Provide the Energizing Context to Reach Our Goals

As long as the people on our teams and in our organizations are clear and consistent with their meanings and approaches, we shouldn't get hung up on definitions and jargon.
