I have been pondering the semantics and utility of “mission” statements since 1998 when I read The & Habits of Highly Effective People.
This weekend I read something by Donald Miller and his spin. I also started listening to Change Your Questions Change Your Life by Marilee Adams. And I’ve had an epiphany.
When considering mission, vision, purpose, etc, etc, even goals, there are three simple questions to ask:
– Where am I?
– Where am I going?
– How will I get there?
