Podcast Episode 131: The Benefits of a Family Mission Statement

May 3, 2014 | In The Loop

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

 

 On this week’s episode I discuss why your family needs a mission statement and how my family created ours.

 

I’ve never seen a successful company that didn’t have a mission statement.

  • I found out that a friend of mine, Sandy Stimpson, has a family mission statement for his family.
  • He suggested that we make our own.

 

Polly, the boys, and I sat down and decided…

  • What is important?
  • Where do we want to go?
  • What is the best?
  • What result are we after?
  • How do we act?

 

Over the course of several weeks we formed the mission statement, and it is now framed.

  • We keep it in the front of our house where we can see it all day long.
  • It makes life more intentional for Polly and me, but it is also transforming how our boys think.
