Developing a mission statement question

My method is to think of yourself in hospital at 85 dying.

Look back on your life, what did you achieve, what was important to you.

Write that down.

ideological or abstract qualities based "misssions" such as

to live an awesome life
become a more masculine man
be a high-value man

are vague fill-in-the-mission-blank nonsense by clueless men who neither understand nor have a mission, IMO. A mission statement should embody a specific direction and quantifiable goals and outcomes. Examples:

Become the CEO of my company within 15 years
Create an online business selling X with revenues exceeding $2M/year and net income to me exceeding $100k/year.
lead young men to Christ by developing and leading a year-round sports program at my church
reach the 1000-pound club in lifting and win 3rd place or better in my city's masters weightlifting competition.
Develop a new drug that increases prostate cancer life expectancy by more than one year.

Go lift and think about this then

The biggest question is this what do "you" actually want ?

Dang. Someone's been doing some reading. That looks a bit familiar.

Think a bit bigger for your mission.

To get them wet, make sure your mission statement is concise.

Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.
