What’s the difference between Mission and Vision?
This is a question that comes up a lot in the work I do with business teams as I coach them to be mission driven on a day to day basis. Why be mission driven? So they never lose sight of their greater purpose for existing in the first place.
Without the unwavering focus on mission and vision it’s much too easy to get mired in the day to day routine — which businesses are chock full of.
Without mission and vision, businesses are boring.
At times I run across companies which don’t bother to distinguish them at all: They have a separate Values Statement (thank goodness), but if you ask them to tell you of their Vision, and then of their Mission, they’ll give you the same answer for both questions. So what is the difference? Does it matter?
The short answer is that it only matters if you use them. Vision Statements and Mission Statements can be power-packed drivers in a company culture when they are done right, and when they are used to release the potent energy within the people who make up that company. (Don’t for a moment think that companies are made up of anything else.) The best missions and visions become mantras for action; they’re catalysts. The worst ones are those pretty, carefully crafted ones up on the walls in frames that are long and detailed: too much to memorize and remember, too much to bother with at all. No one pays attention to them, and no one lives them. Rotate them with famous quotations or snippets from eloquent speeches and no one will even notice, because none of the real people in the company say those things.
That old guideline that a mission describes “what business you’re in and who your customer is” barely gets anyone up in the morning. Ho hum. Keep the trees in the ground, for it’s not worth wasting the paper you draft it on.
You don’t need your mission or your vision to state the obvious; you want them to state the exceptional and extraordinary, to boast of your edge-teetering leaps of faith, and the wild dreamings of every possibility you want explored every single day. You need them to create chatter, thrilled whispers, passionate debate and evangelism. You want people inside and outside your organization to talk about them constantly because they’re fascinating, enticing, and enthralling. You couldn’t possibly contain their passion on the company bulletin board if you tried.
Let them be controversial. Let them beg discussion and explanation. They should answer these better questions: How will we make a difference every single day, improving the quality of life itself? How can we work on only what really matters to us, and to everyone? Why is it that this world can’t possibly be a great place without the magic we work? Why is it that we are so special, so damned good, and so fanatically courageous? Put unbusiness-like words in them, like Beauty. Uprising. Character. Notoriety. Caring. Wear your values on your sleeve and speak them.
So what’s the difference? As simply as I can say it, your mission is what you do best every day, and your vision is what the future looks like because you do that mission so exceedingly well. In fact, I like to compare them to another old debate: management versus leadership.
For MISSION —– think: managing with greatness and untamed strength, improving everything daily.
For VISION —– think: leading with inspiration and courage, obsessed with future possibility, in a love affair with change.
MISSION will feed into the confidence of your organization by feeding this ever-present self-talk: “We can do this, and we are the ones ordained to do this, for we are the best at it.” Mission will churn out revolutionary ideas about the mundane, banishing mediocrity.
VISION creates that momentum of growing anticipation about the future, where change is embraced as a step closer to that very compelling picture of what’s coming next. The excitement about the future trumps any apprehension about the uncertain — change is recognized as the catalytic converter it is.
Turn them both into mantras that people actually say, beaming with pride as they say them. “This is my company, and I’m glad it is” is the emotion they evoke, shining in everyone’s eyes. Both mission and vision are alive; both evolve, both reinvent, both grow as you grow.
So tear down that plaque on the wall; you really don’t need it. Trumpet the voices of mission and vision instead.
Thank you for reading
The Best Way to Create a Vision For the Life You Want
Creating a vision for your life might seem like a frivolous, fantastical waste of time, but it’s not: creating a compelling vision of the life you want is actually one of the most effective strategies for achieving the life of your dreams. Perhaps the best way to look at the concept of a life vision is as a compass to help guide you to take the best actions and make the right choices that help propel you toward your best life.
Why you need a vision
Experts and life success stories support the idea that with a vision in mind, you are more likely to succeed far beyond what you could otherwise achieve without a clear vision. Think of crafting your life vision as mapping a path to your personal and professional dreams. Life satisfaction and personal happiness are within reach. The harsh reality is that if you don’t develop your own vision, you’l allow other people and circumstances to direct the course of your life.
How to create your life vision
Don’t expect a clear and well-defined vision overnight—envisioning your life and determining the course you will follow requires time, and reflection. You need to cultivate vision and perspective, and you also need to apply logic and planning for the practical application of your vision. Your best vision blossoms from your dreams, hopes, and aspirations. It will resonate with your values and ideals, and will generate energy and enthusiasm to help strengthen your commitment to explore the possibilities of your life.
What do you want?
The question sounds deceptively simple, but it’s often the most difficult to answer. Allowing yourself to explore your deepest desires can be very frightening. You may also not think you have the time to consider something as fanciful as what you want out of life, but it’s important to remind yourself that a life of fulfillment does not usually happen by chance, but by design.
It’s helpful to ask some thought-provoking questions to help you discover the possibilities of what you want out of life. Consider every aspect of your life, personal and professional, tangible and intangible. Contemplate all the important areas, family and friends, career and success, health and quality of life, spiritual connection and personal growth, and don’t forget about fun and enjoyment.
Some tips to guide you:
- Remember to ask why you want certain things
- Think about what you want, not on what you don’t want.
- Give yourself permission to dream.
- Be creative. Consider ideas that you never thought possible.
- Focus on your wishes, not what others expect of you.
Some questions to start your exploration:
- What really matters to you in life? Not what should matter, what doesmatter.
- What would you like to have more of in your life?
- Set aside money for a moment; what do you want in your career?
- What are your secret passions and dreams?
- What would bring more joy and happiness into your life?
- What do you want your relationships to be like?
- What qualities would you like to develop?
- What are your values? What issues do you care about?
- What are your talents? What’s special about you?
- What would you most like to accomplish?
- What would legacy would you like to leave behind?
It may be helpful to write your thoughts down in a journal or creative vision board if you’re the creative type. Add your own questions, and ask others what they want out of life. Relax and make this exercise fun. You may want to set your answers aside for a while and come back to them later to see if any have changed or if you have anything to add.
What would your best life look like?
Describe your ideal life in detail. Allow yourself to dream and imagine, and create a vivid picture. If you can’t visualize a picture, focus on how your best life would feel. If you find it difficult to envision your life 20 or 30 years from now, start with five years—even a few years into the future will give you a place to start. What you see may surprise you. Set aside preconceived notions. This is your chance to dream and fantasize.
A few prompts to get you started:
- What will you have accomplished already?
- How will you feel about yourself?
- What kind of people are in your life? How do you feel about them?
- What does your ideal day look like?
- Where are you? Where do you live? Think specifics, what city, state, or country, type of community, house or an apartment, style and atmosphere.
- What would you be doing?
- Are you with another person, a group of people, or are you by yourself?
- How are you dressed?
- What’s your state of mind? Happy or sad? Contented or frustrated?
- What does your physical body look like? How do you feel about that?
- Does your best life make you smile and make your heart sing? If it doesn’t, dig deeper, dream bigger.
It’s important to focus on the result, or at least a way-point in your life. Don’t think about the process for getting there yet—that’s the next step. Give yourself permission to revisit this vision every day, even if only for a few minutes. Keep your vision alive and in the front of your mind.
Plan backwards
It may sound counter-intuitive to plan backwards rather than forwards, but when you’re planning your life from the end result, it’s often more useful to consider the last step and work your way back to the first. This is actually a valuable and practical strategy for making your vision a reality.
- What’s the last thing that would’ve had to happen to achieve your best life?
- What’s the most important choice you would’ve had to make?
- What would you have needed to learn along the way?
- What important actions would you have had to take?
- What beliefs would you have needed to change?
- What habits or behaviors would you have had to cultivate?
- What type of support would you have had to enlist?
- How long will it have taken you to realize your best life?
- What steps or milestones would you have needed to reach along the way?
Now it’s time to think about your first step, and the next step after that. Ponder the gap between where you are now and where you want to be in the future. It may seem impossible, but it’s quite achievable if you take it step-by-step.
It’s important to revisit this vision from time to time. Don’t be surprised if your answers to the questions, your technicolor vision, and the resulting plans change. That can actually be a very good thing; as you change in unforeseeable ways, the best life you envision will change as well. For now, it’s important to use the process, create your vision, and take the first step towards making that vision a reality.

Article Writing for Dummies
Are you an article writer? And you are having challenges and problems meeting your article writing goals that is creating and writing thousands of valuable, relevant and unique articles? Then this article is definitely for you. Most article writers always complain of not knowing what methods and techniques to create quality articles on the web, and always come up with quality article ideas that will always generate human interest and attract high pageviews to your article pages.
In this article, I have suggested several ways you can always generate quality article ideas so, you can easily increase your income especially when you write for sites like Triond that pays you based on pageviews:
1. Increase Your Knowledgebase on Different Topics: Despite how good and knowledgable you are in a particular topic or subject, you will not be able to write tons of quality and unique articles. So the best way to increase your ability to write hundreds and even thousands of articles that are unique, full of quality and value to your readers is to begin to increase your knowledge on either related areas of your expertise or entirely new subjects. For example, if you are knowledgable on Internet marketing, you can learn about other related topics under Internet marketing such as: blogging, WordPress, WordPress themes and plugins, etc or you can learn entirely new subjects such as sports, gardening, journalism or fashion.
Doing this increases your capacity to create a lot of quality articles and helps improve your writing skills and appeal to a wide range of readers and can land you a lot of freelancewriting gigs as a freelancewriter.
2. Research on The Web and Write Review Articles: The Internet is full of interesting websites that a lot of people want to know about in various niche markets online. All you need to do is to research all over the Internet and look for websites you feel offer some sort of cool and interesting features and services or products that is worth talking about and that will interest people online, write short articles about these sites teaching about their products and services and publish them on Triond.
These type of articles are easy to write, all you need to do is to send about one or two hours reading about everything and section on the site, try to sign up on the site if it offers a membership option and get to know about it’s membership benefits and all, summarize everything you have gathered and learn’t about the website in a 500 – 1,500 word article. There are millions of sites that offer interesting products, services and features to the web community in different niche markets/industries that you can write thousands of articles on. You can write your first review article now, don’t go too far, check out sites in your niche market or topic of specialization on Google search engine, spend some time studying each website and summarize all you have learn’t about the site in an article, then you have your review article written. You can review as many websites as you can possibly research on.
3. Personal Experiences: What are your personal experiences in life whether good or bad experiences? You can offer some form of knowledge or advice to other people from your personal experiences in life, love, family, religion, relationship with the opposite sex, job or business.
Writing does not have to be all professional, write about your personal; experiences and you will be amazed how many people want to learn a few things about your experiences as an individual even your personal mistakes can be an article teaching people how to avoid your mistakes. I am about to publish an article on Triond based on my personal experiences on my search on earning a living online. Though not yet published but you can be notified via your NewsFeed when you add me as a freind when the article published.
4. Your Hobbies: A Hobby is an activity you do at your spare time both consciously and unconsciously. You can write an article (or articles) based on your hobby because to a great extent you have some things to share on your hobby that you may not know at the moment. All you need to do is to ask yourself reasons why you choose that particular hobby and what are the benefits you have derived from your hobby, list them and explain on paper, there you have article in the making, you get the picture? Your hobby can be an activity non-related to your area of profession, career or business, so you see that will be an nice angle to create new, fresh, quality and unique articles that will interest a new group of readers.
5. Other People’s Mistakes and Experiences: What mistakes do people around you and close relatives have made? What moral or personal lessons did you draw from those mistakes or experiences of other people? You can also write them as articles but don’t write the names of those people involved.
Listen to people when they speak about their mistakes and experiences whether good or bad experiences and write articles offering some form of advice on how to avoid those experiences and mistakes especially it caused those people so much pain, regret, anger and financial loss.
6. Re-write Junk Content on Other Websites: The best way to find junk articles with bad sentence formation, wrong spellings, grammatical errors, wrong presentation of article ideas and article structures is mainly on Article directories and guest post submission sites, under my niche categories, I look for articles that are poorly written, lack concrete facts about the knowledge or information they are sharing with their readers. I print these articles and re-write and do some research and brainstorm on what information or knowledge the authors were trying to communicate with their readers, then I research on the web on more concrete and solid facts to add to the article to make it more unique and quality, then I rewrite the articles and submit on either Triond or other paid site I write for online.
If this process looks clear and understandable to you, you can follow it to create a lot of articles. Why I like this article writing technique is because I don’t have to generate new article ideas, all I do is re-write the junk articles in a unique, smarter, better way and structure with a more professional and catchy title that is keyword optimized.
7. Answer Peoples’ Questions: There are a lot of question-and-answer websites online where people go to ask unique questions that relates to their various needs. Some of the popular Q&A sites millions of people visit everyday to ask questions that they need experts to answer those questions. Such Sites are Yahoo Answers, AnswerBag, Mahalo, ExpertBee and Answers.
Visit those websites, register with them. To locate the questions people ask in their niche market or area of specialization, Type in your target niche keyword on the search bar of the website. When questions asked by members of the site appears on the results pages, search for the questions you know you can answer, write an article, publish it on Triond and then submit the article link on the answer site so that members who asked the question can read your article on the topic of their questions. This method can also be used to promote your Triond articles.
8. Keyword Research: As an article writer, keyword research is your “spyglass” to discover untapped markets or keyword industries or niches that you are not meeting with your articles. This technique is needed by Triond writers, bloggers and freelancewriters to find related topics in the area of their expertise or specialization where they can create more and unique articles that are useful and relevant to their readers. Use the Google Keyword Tool to carry out your keyword research online. When you open the tool, type in the particular keyword phrase in the search bar and it will give exact and broad terms related to your keyword niche. When you run out of new article ideas to write in your niche market, use the tool to generate new article ideas without stress. Also, use Nicheaday.com and MarketSamurai Software to carry out keyword research on new keyword niches.
9. Create an Article Series: There are times you have one big article idea that you will not be able to explain in a single article, what you need to do is to create a series for that article idea. This type of article writing technique has the potential to turn your single article idea to tons of uniquely written articles. All you need to do to create an article series, is to think up a general article idea, divide your idea with the following words: What, How, Where and From into sections and sub-ideas, list your sub-ideas under these words and start providing unique and separate information under each article idea. Then you have created several articles under one article idea.
10. Google Hot Trends: This is just a tool / service by Google to display the top keyword terms a lot of people usually in thousands and even tens of thousands are using to search for a particular information. This is an event based keyword research tool that tells you what thousands of people are searching for at a particular time.
All you need to do is to find out what keywords are trending high (usually events, movies and celebrities), research on the keywords and write articles on them and submit your article on Triond.
When you use these techniques above, I believe you will always come up with new ideas to create unique, relevant and quality articles for your Triond readers. Share this article with your friends and bookmark it for future reference if you find useful and helpful. Share your ideas by making comments.
