Using Your Mission Statement As A Filter

Mission statements are important. Really important. They take time to process so you can come up with the one that is right for you. Be specific. Keep it just long enough to get the point across. You want to be able to remember it so you can tell others and so you can keep it handy for when you need to use it. Make sure it will lead you to your desired outcome. And once you find that fitting mission statement for your personal life or for your business, it is now time to put it to use.

Here is why using a mission statement in every area of life is so important:

Tips On How to Process Ideas

 

Here is a guest post from my good friend, Jason Young over at jasonyounglive.com. Great stuff there. Check it! You can also find Jason on twitter at @jasonyounglive.

I was chatting with my friend, Jeremie Kubicek, CEO of GiANT Impact, about how to process ideas. His simple insight has been a help to me.

Filter your idea(s) through the following:

People – are the right people at the table to make the idea executable?
Funding – are the financial resources available to execute the idea?
Timing – are the timing elements aligned to execute this particular idea?
Once you have the main ingredients (above), I would add three important factors:

Organization – are you putting elements together to create a functioning whole?
Discipline – are you prepared to live in an orderly pattern of behavior?
Poise – are you in a state of readiness, especially for the unexpected?

If your idea survives the above process, what are you waiting for? Go for it!
