Mission And Vision

Every business should have Mission and Vision statements. The size of the business or company does not matter. So, what do you need to put in your mission and/or vision statement?

You basically need to answer 2 questions:

  1. Who are you (as a company, business or organization)
  2. Where are you going (as a company, business or organization)

Example of a Good Mission Statement:
"To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world." (Nike)

Example of a Good Vision Statement:
"To be the most successful computer company in the world at delivering the best customer experience in markets we serve." (Dell)

As a company or business you need to have a goal that you are working towards. It might be something as simple as breaking even within the first 12 months (for a new start-up business). It is important to understand that your mission and vision can and should change as the company grows.
