In a world in which we are daily forced to make decisions that lead us either closer to or further from our goals, no tool is as valuable in providing direction as a mission statement -- a brief, succinct, and focused statement of purpose that can be used to initiate, evaluate, and refine all of life's activities. Individuals and companies have recently been learning what history has demonstrated all along -- that people or groups with carefully defined missions have always led and surpassed those who have none. Yet the process of outlining that mission statement has been, up to now, an arduous one that all too few have committed the time, energy, and resources to undertake. In "The Path", Laurie Beth Jones, author of the national bestseller "Jesus CEO", provides inspiring and practical advice to lead listeners through every step of both defining and fulfilling a mission.

A group of men that I meet with every two weeks decided to have our own little retreat and we used this book as the guide for much individual soul-searching, and the creation of individual life mission statements for ourselves. Unfortunately, we only allocated one day of about 6 hours to do so - I was the only one that was able to complete mine. This book is an excellent guide - but the most benefit will come from doing these mission statements as a group - so much to discuss and the group helps to focus you. An excellent resource. ( )

Have you written a personal Mission Statement? This interesting book describes why you should have a mission statement for work and for life and how to go about the process of creating one. ( )

History clearly bears evidence that the adoption of personal and organizational missions is the real secret to all successes. In fact, it is safe to say that we know of none in our past who have achieved or fulfilled great dreams who did not have a personal mission statement. This is a great book to help groups and individuals identify personal mission statements, vision statements and plans of action. ( )
