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.

    Every year, about this time, I field a handful of inquiries from a head football coach or his staff. Often, someone else talked to them about me months earlier and for whatever reason at the time, no one reached out. Now, however, if the season is not going as they…
