In this episode of Female Founders Breaking Boundaries, I’m sharing the importance of kicking your traditional mission and vision statements to the curb and actionable steps you can take right now to establish a meaningful purpose and focus for your business instead. Some of the things I cover in this episode are:

  • Celebrating Melina Palmer, founder of Brainy Business. 
  • Traditional mission/ vision statements focus on the words and not the big picture. 
  • Ditching the terms mission and vision as a whole and moving to establish your purpose and focus instead. 
  • Figuring out what your big picture looks like and connecting the dots to get you there. 
  • When it is logical to give something away for free and when you’ll be attracting the wrong people to your email list. 

Don’t get so caught up in the words because the idea behind your purpose and focus is defining your direction.
