How To Write A Personal Mission Statement (And 28 Mission Statement Examples)

by
Writing in journal, personal mission statement

Do you have a personal mission statement? If not, you should.

Early in my career, I was inspired to create one when I worked in public relations for the JCPenney Company.

James Cash Penney, the founder of the once giant retailer, based his business philosophy on one simple personal mission statement: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” — the Golden Rule.

In fact, his first store was called The Golden Rule.

This mission statement permeated every aspect of how Mr. Penney ran his business.

He asked for a “fair remuneration and not all the profits the traffic will bear,” and was the first to call employees “associates,” and he treated them like family.

During the stock market crash in the 1920’s, Mr. Penney lost his personal fortune and took a loan against his life insurance in order to pay the associates’ salaries.

women laughing, starting over at 50

Starting over at any age can be scary.

When you reach the age of 50, the thought of starting over in any area of your life becomes even more daunting. 

After a divorce, a career change, or a financial setback, you may not know where to start.

Deciding how to spend your time after a change in marital status or how to compete in the modern job market is a common concern. 

Instead of thinking of the big change in your life as a disruption, consider it an opportunity to recreate your life. Use this time to explore new careers, relationships, and interests.

With age comes wisdom and life experience, giving you the chance to create an exciting new life.

Have you ever wondered, “What am I passionate about?” Have you been struggling to figure out a career or hobby that lights your fire but just can’t find it?
