2005-05-20 A Mission Statement.

I've been reflecting on the past 12 or so years of my career. I've picked out 4 things I think have contributed the most to my success. I intend to use these 4 items in a mission statement as the basis for content on this website.

Here are the 4 things I think are most important things to focus on for the long term future for my career. I plan to write a longer essay on this topic filled with my personal experiences.

  1. Learn how to manage time, projects, and priorities.
  2. Learn how to sell, to present, to tell a good story
  3. Innovate. Use your imagination to solve important problems.
  4. Make others around you better and learn from others. You can't do it alone and you don't need to make the same mistakes they may have made.

I will craft a mission statement around these 4 things. I will then pull together all the things I've been working on as side projects into a plan for a business to be launched in 2 years after I am fully vested in the stock options from my current employer.
