Defining your Mission in a single sentence

The Why comes when we start getting curious about our contribution to this world, this planet. People have searched far and wide to find meaning for their lives, their work and their relationships.  

Why am I here?  Who am I?  What should I be doing?  Why does this job feel like I am not contributing to the world?  Many of these questions drive people to find a source that can help them get clear, understand their purpose and connect with something inside them that they have always wanted to do or be.

Welcome to the Path!©  The Path© is first a framework and then a transformative process.  The framework provides you with clear and concise steps to take to arrive at your personal mission and vision. The Path© has been used by more than a half a million people who have either read the book or attended a Path workshop in their city.  We believe that a mission statement is, in essence, a written-down reason for being—whether for a person, or for a company. It is the key to finding your path in life and identifying the mission you choose to follow. Having a clearly articulated mission statement gives one a template of purpose that can be used to initiate, evaluate, and refine all of one’s activities.

There's nothing quite like the Path© if you are truly seeking your best and highest good in the world.  The clearing exercises will give you the framework for moving from a blank slate to a clearly defined mission and vision in a matter of a few sessions.  

Here's whats included in the Path: Your Why Module©

Identify your Path Element - Understand how your personality helps to shape your mission and your Why.

Your Past and how that has impacted your personal mission up to this point.

Your Top Talents and how you might not be using your highest gifts.

The Power of Words - How your words impact your Why.

Mastermind Calls - deepen your reflection and learning.

There are three Path© Modules that will lead you through the process of creating your personal mission and vision.  The courses are self-paced and you can choose when you are ready to proceed to another course module.  The Mastermind calls are encouraged but not required.  You also receive a link to take the Path Elements Assessment as part of this module.  The Path Elements Assessment will become one of the core foundations for designing your mission.

The Path is not only about finding your mission, but fulfilling it.

**You MUST begin with Module 1 before continuing on to Module 2 and Module 3

The truth is that all great leaders in history have had missions that were no more than a single sentence long. Abraham Lincoln’s mission was to preserve the Union. FDR’s mission was to end the Depression. Nelson Mandela’s mission was to end apartheid. Mother Teresa’s mission is to show mercy and compassion to the dying. Joan of Arc’s mission was to free France. Nehemiah’s mission was to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

The Path mission and vision framework© offers each person the opportunity to create their mission statement.  We often know at a very young age what we came here to do.  Often, there are things, circumstances, or choices that get in the way of our knowing.  The Path will take you back a little to the place where you first believed in yourself.  Where you first had the image of what you were going to do with your life and build a bridge using the mission process to the place you are today.  We can't always physically go back and redo or relive a particular season or phase of our life, but we can pick up right here today and move forward.  The Path is about the forward movement.  

The Path© takes you on a forward journey and asks these questions:

What would I do if I were 10 times bolder?

What did you tell people you were going to be when you grew up?

What do people say you are good at?

What most excites you in or about the world?

These are just a few questions that we begin to unpack in the mission process.  A good mission statement is so easily communicated and understood that a twelve-year-old could understand and repeat it.  The greater the mission the more simply it can be stated.  

Here's what's included in the Path Mission© and Calling Module:

What is a Mission Statement.

The False Assumptions about Mission.

Core Values that drive your personal Mission.

My Tribe - Identifying Your Targeted Mission Group.

Mastermind Group - Taking the Path Mission Process deeper each week.

Forgetting your mission leads, inevitably, to getting tangled up in details—details that can take you completely off your path.  Take this module and the mastermind group to get clear about your mission or get back on track!

While a mission statement is centered around the process of what you need to be doing, a vision statement is the end result of what you will have done. It is a picture of how the landscape will look after you’ve been through it. It is your “ideal."

The proverb “Where there is no vision, the people perish” emphasizes the need we have to be able to envision the future. Our very existence depends on it.
Yet most of us are still caught up in the past. Few of us can see beyond the present. Each of us must see into the future, and thus help create it, if we are to successfully accomplish our mission.

We have had people tell us, "Once I wrote out my vision statement for my work, things definitely started changing. I began to attract clients with similar values and tastes as my own. When I combined the vision statement with my mission statement (which was “To recognize, promote, and inspire divine excellence”) I had a yardstick to use in measuring my activities and determining daily responses to situations that developed.

The Path© Vision Statement Module includes:

What is a Vision Statement

What is My Vision

Navigating the Creative Tension Zone

Learning the 8 Action Steps Framework 

Mastermind Group Sessions

Your vision statement is the force that will sustain you when your mission statement seems too heavy to endure, enforce, or engage. All significant changes and inventions began with a vision first.
