The impact of a mission statement on your business

We have talked about vision and purpose in our previous videos, and today’s focus is 

Mission Statement – what your company will do on a daily basis to make your vision a reality. It should include who you serve, what you serve and how you do it. Vision is your long-term goal.  Your mission is your daily activity, your grind or hustle to improve the world, your industry or marketplace.

My mission is to stop RAM.  RAM is Random Acts of Marketing.  We need to have strategic marketing plans so we can achieve more clients and money in our business.

The importance of mission statements in business is that people like to get behind missions. If your business mission statement is articulated clearly you will attract your ideal client.

What’s the VISION you have for your business?

I love the quote by Helen Keller that says, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no VISION”.  Vision is so important in life and especially in business.  As believers we should be partnering with God to receive a God-given vision for our businesses.  His word says in Proverbs [29:18]-  Where there is no VISION, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.     

So let’s focus on what is means to have a God-given vision for our business with the word of the day from this Marketing Monday video from 2020: To help us focus to begin the process of focusing on VISION take a look at the video or read the summary to learn more.

What’s the vision you have for your business?

I give a few examples of business vision statements for popular companies in my marketing planner, THE BEST MARKETING PLANNER. For instance, Google’s vision is to provide access to the world’s information in one click. Nike’s vision statement is to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. Zappos’ vision statement is all about happiness; they want to deliver happiness to customers, employers, and vendors. American Express wants respect because their vision is to work hard every day to make American Express the world’s most respected service brand.

We learn from those vision statement examples that vision statements are more about what they want their product or service to accomplish in the world versus being specific about the service or product itself.

In the Bible, God gave Abraham a vision that he will be the father of many nations.  At the time Abraham and his wife were very old and had no kids, so the God-given vision seemed impossible in the natural, but we serve a God who is super natural. The vision that He gives us supersedes the natural world.  

My company’s vision is to become a trusted resource and support for faith-based women entrepreneurs and business owners who want to increase their impact, influence, and income. I believe in the ripple effect…..if a woman is able to accomplish her vision then you will see it in every part of her life including her family, community, country, and worldwide.

What do you want your product or service to accomplish to make the world a better place?  (Drop your vision statement and/or your comments and thoughts in the comment section)

Why tapping into your PURPOSE can elevate your business

Did you know that when you are clear on your WHY it can elevate your business? Today’s post is all about how tapping into the PURPOSE of your business can elevate your business. Watch the video below, or read the post to learn the benefits of purpose in your business.

Your business purpose is the specific business intent for which your company has been founded. Your business purpose statement states your business purpose in one or two sentences.

Clarity offers what you do in your business and why your company does what it does. Focus helps to guide your decisions in business as to what falls under your business purpose. Your business purpose gives your business and actions meaning.

Here is a quick exercise to help you form your business purpose statement:

My business was founded to ___________________________________.

Complete that statement in one or two sentences and you will be on your way to establishing your business purpose.

The Power of God’s Favor

The last blog post addressed the age-old question of ‘WHY ME?’ The answer is you were born for it to be you because you were born to do the hard things! It is our mindset that dictates how we navigate situations, obstacles, difficulties, etc. Be sure to review last week’s blog post to learn more on mindset.

This week we will continue to explore mindset. The pandemic and protests inspired by the most recent racial injustices has caused people to have hard and difficult conversations.
