What is your MISSION?

So many people and companies are unclear or unfocused on what their MISSION is or should.  Whether it is there personal life, the company that they have built, or are working for, most are just trying to survive this month so that they can get to the next month, and have a no bigger MISSION to work toward. We all need to figure out WHY we are doing what we doing, so that we can stay on purpose.

I have been guilty of operating without a MISSION for most of my life, until not all that long ago.  I worked for other companies as well as my starting my own, that had no clear MISSION.  I made a lot of money most the time, but I never really knew WHY I was doing what I was doing.  I just got up every day and did the things that I thought would make me money.  I never took the time to see if I had a bigger purpose than money.  The problem I had, as well a lot of other people and companies out there, is that when the economy changed, I did not have a bigger MISSION to carry me through and keep me focused. 

It took a while for me to understand just how important having a clearly defined MISSION, other then momentary gain really is.  The greater the good or the more people that benefits from you fulfilling your mission, that greater the compensation you will receive. 

I am now part of a team that's MISSION is to "Improve the quality of life for everyone, through transformation of the marketplace".  As we help businesses operate more efficiently, there is less stress in the owners and employees lives, the business can grow and hire more people and both the employees and the owners families have a better lives and more money to spend, which helps the economy.  The bi-product of us fulfilling our MISSION is that we get paid.  The better we deliver on our MISSION, and better the world is and the better we are compensated by the world.

If you don't currently have a MISSION that keeping you moving forward and helping others everyday, find one.  Either find a company or oragization that has a MISSION that resinates with you, or take the time to create you own MISSION statement that benfits others through a sercive or product.  Once you get on MISSION and on purpose, and start fofilling on that MISSION, the money or confensaton will start to roll in.  It may own start as a trickle, but if you stay on purpose, it will turn into a flood.
