The real power of a family mission statement is that it is practical.

As your kids begin to connect the dots between the mission statement and their own lives, it will make the family mission statement more personal and engaging.

Family Mission Statement Refreshers

If you need to brush up on your family mission statement, here are a few keys to keep in mind of what makes a good family mission statement:

  • A good family mission statement is actionable. It should be clear, specific instructions.
  • A good family mission statement is memorable. Don’t make it long. It should be easy to repeat and recall if you want your family to be able to apply it.
  • A good family mission statement drives accountability and evaluation. It provides a clear standard everyone aims for, and it’s used for follow through.
  • A good family mission statement brings unity and interdependence. A mission statement should be something you all pull together towards and support each other in.
