Vision Statement

Google "Vision Statement" and you'll find a site called Time Thoughts; Resources for Personal & Career Success.com that defines a vision statement as:

A vivid idealized description of a desired outcome that inspires, energizes and helps you create a mental picture of your target. It could be a vision of a part of your life, or the outcome of a project or goal.

The vision statement is more than just an interesting exercise. It puts into writing the entrepreneur's core values are and what things are most important. When we write things down, we own them. They mean more to us. As the entrepreneur goes forward he or she can look back on it and revise or reaffirm it. If the entrepeneur's core values have changed, he or she can analyze these changes and what they mean for their goals. If entrepreneurs don't know who they are or what's important to them and why they do what they're doing, their enterprises will either fall short of their objectives or entrepreneurs will feel frustrated and angry from being inauthentic.
