At the end of the day, you can say \u201cI fulfilled my purpose; I added value in a significant way.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Helps you develop your personal brand and marketing content for your business.<\/li>\n<li>Empowers you to determine priorities that will move you towards your goals.<\/li>\n<li>Keeps you focused on your priorities, strategies, and goals.<\/li>\n<li>Supports communicating who you are and what you do in a clear, concise, and compelling manner. Whether you are talking with a potential client, a family member, or a friend your mission statement is an easy way for people to understand what you have to offer both personally and professionally.<\/li>\n<li>Makes it easier for you to decide if an opportunity is right for you. It may be a fabulous opportunity, and the question to ask is, \u201cDoes this support my mission?\u201d \u00a0If the opportunity takes you further from your mission then it is simply a distraction, a bright and shiny object.\u00a0 If the opportunity supports or fits your mission, then explore it further.<\/li>\n<li>Gives you the strength for managing change. Your mission statement is the mooring that keeps you stable and moving forward in the direction that is true to you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After completing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centerforcoachingcertification.com\/certified-professional-coach-training\/program-overview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coaching certification<\/a> be intentional and write your Mission Statement for your coaching business, and then keep going with a Vision Statement (discussed in the next blog post).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Ellen Zebrun, CMC, MFA Ellen@TheClearStrategyCoach.com Coach training is a start \u2013 just as a mission statement is a start for your business or your &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6193,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[70,116,69,119,465,77,48,85,45,50,86,118,466,84,462,115,134,117,107],"class_list":["post-6628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-achieve-and-sustain-excellence","tag-business-coach-training","tag-business-development","tag-career-coach-certification","tag-career-coach-training","tag-client","tag-coach","tag-coach-training","tag-coaches","tag-coaching","tag-coaching-certification","tag-executive-coach-certification","tag-executive-coach-training","tag-goals","tag-health-coach-training","tag-icf-approved-coach-training","tag-life-coach-training","tag-life-coaching-certification","tag-strategy","latest_post"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6628"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6628\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12361,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6628\/revisions\/12361"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
