Most people spend more time developing a PURPOSE for their many business initiatives than they do on their own life purpose.
So let's take a cue from the simple generic process of developing a purpose for YOUR business.
1. VISION - a 'visual' interpretation/description of the long-term future impact that YOU expect YOUR business will have on the world... so why not create a vision/visual for YOUR Life's Purpose too.
2. AIM or MISSION Statement - a prominent explanation statement to all concerning what the customer can expect when dealing with YOUR business... so why not let people know what they can expect from YOU - a personal mission statement - as YOU deal with others in living to YOUR Life's Purpose.
3. OBJECTIVES - a description of the medium-term achievements that YOU'd like to to see YOUR business reaching... so what medium-term achievements do YOU set as objectives for YOUR personal life? Take a look at S.M.A.R.T Objectives for more of a clue as to how you can get smart about achieving YOUR business/life objectives.
A Business Purpose needs to be crisp, concise and crystal-clear so that everyone in the organisation can work towards achieving the long-term vision for the business.
Imagine YOUR Life Purpose being written in crisp, concise and crystal-clear format for others to recognise how they can help YOU to achieve your long-term vision for YOUR life.
