In this episode of Overgivers Anonymous<\/em>, Angela Mondor (aka the Geeky Girl) breaks down the often-confusing concepts of vision and mission statements. If you\u2019ve ever felt like these abstract ideas don\u2019t quite click for your business, you\u2019re not alone. Angela shares her experiences with them and offers a practical approach to help you create vision and mission statements that actually align with what you want for your business\u2014and your life. Spoiler: it’s all about making sure both work together harmoniously.<\/p>\nHighlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Why Vision and Mission Statements Matter<\/strong> \u2013 Angela explains how these two elements act as the foundation for creating a business you love while ensuring it runs the way you want.<\/li>\n
- Vision: Your Business\u2019s Endgame<\/strong> \u2013 A vision statement is about where you want your business to go and what it looks like once it gets there, giving you a guiding “true north.”<\/li>\n
- Mission: The \u2018How\u2019 Behind the Vision<\/strong> \u2013 Unlike the vision, the mission is all about the actionable steps you’ll take to achieve your goals, providing a roadmap to your vision.<\/li>\n
- Vision vs. Mission: Breaking It Down<\/strong> \u2013 Angela demystifies these often-confused terms by comparing the vision to the big-picture dream and the mission to the nitty-gritty of how you\u2019ll make it happen.<\/li>\n
- The Power of Personalization<\/strong> \u2013 Your vision and mission should reflect your desires\u2014not what others expect from you or your business.<\/li>\n
- Forget the Revenue Goals<\/strong> \u2013 Vision statements aren\u2019t about money or numbers; they\u2019re about the bigger picture, like how you want to spend your time and what kind of impact you want to make.<\/li>\n
- Actionable Mission Statements<\/strong> \u2013 A solid mission statement answers key questions like: What problem are you solving? Who are you helping? How are you doing it?<\/li>\n
- Aligning Daily Decisions with Your Vision<\/strong> \u2013 Having a clear vision helps you evaluate business opportunities and make faster, more informed decisions.<\/li>\n
- Flexibility is Key<\/strong> \u2013 Both vision and mission statements should allow for flexibility so you can adapt when life throws you a curveball or when goals evolve.<\/li>\n
- Consistency and Reassessment<\/strong> \u2013 Angela suggests reviewing and revising your strategic plan monthly and quarterly to make sure you\u2019re still on the right path to your vision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Vision and mission statements don\u2019t have to be intimidating or set in stone. Angela encourages listeners to make them personal, flexible, and reflective of what they truly want\u2014both in their business and life. The ultimate goal? To create a business you love waking up to every day that also supports the life you want. Tune in and get inspired to craft vision and mission statements that work for you<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n
