Create Your P.M.S.

It is cruicial that you create your own P.M.S. in order to give yourself direction and focus! Okay you are looking at this wondering what the heck, create PMS??? I just had to toss that out your direction, we just finished a workshop for the Federal Government Women Employees and we used P.M.S. instead of writing out Personal Mission Statement and it was a hit!

"A Personal Mission Statement (PMS) is a declaration of ones passions, dreams and visions for their future both personally and professionally. A Personal Mission Statement will reveal direction and focus." Do you have a Personal Mission Statement? If you do not it is time to create one. You will identify if you are currently pursuing what you were meant to do with your life. The key to a strong PMS is to identify what changes needed to be made to put yourself on the right path to your dreams and passions. Are you willing to make the changes needed?

I will leave you with 5 key steps to applying your PMS to your life:

1. Identify the areas that need changing
2. Be willing to change, embrace change
3. Own your mission, make it yours
4. Be accountable
5. Create a positive circle of influence

The key is to do it now! How has your Personal Mission Statement changed or empowered your life?
