Mission, vision and value statements are fundamental components of the strategic planning process. Odds are you have come across one or more of these statements while researching your favorite companies, drafting a business plan or attending business related courses.
However, if you’re anything like me, when the time comes to create these statements for yourself, remembering the exact differences between them can be a bit tricky. Their meanings tend to muddle together creating one big mission, vision, values statement soup.

Very recently, I found myself {yet again} researching the differences between mission statements, vision statements and value statements. With the help of the world-wide web (and the power of resourceful paraphrasing) I have come up with three brief and easy to remember one liners that will guide you through differentiating between these statements.
Simply put, these statements should clearly communicate: Mission Statement: Why you exist.Vision Statement: Your picture of ultimate future success.Values Statement: What you believe & how you will operate.
These easy to remember snippets can guide you in creating powerful mission, vision and values statements for your life, blog, business, and family (which I highly recommend).
For more inspiration, try researching influencial companies mission, vision and value statements prior to creating statements of your own. No need to re-invent the wheel - just tweak it a little and you're on your way! There are some really great missions statements out there, like We Are Curio: A design thinking studio that helps individuals and organizations innovate, solve problems and expand what's possible. Catchy right? Now time to make your own! I would love to hear what mission, vision and value statements you create! Love, Stasia RoseComments are closed.
