Do you haved a mission or purpose for your life?  Do you know what it  is?  As a child we often plan our future, but as adults we let society  dictate what we should do.  The women's movement in the'70's help open  the doors for women in the corporate environment, but they still hit a  glass ceiling.  Today with the workplace moving back to the small  businessman working from home more women have t6heir own business so  they are breaking through the glass ceiling.  Every business needs to  have a written mission statement (business plan) to follow to make their  business a success, but we often forget to plan for success in our  personal lives.  If you don't have a written plan it is hard to think  about and plan for your future.  Here are some things to think about.   While you were in school your teacher planned out the curriculum so you  had a goal in place which was toread and study what you were told to.   Then in college there was less structure so you have toset you own goals  for your education--finding gainful employment after graduation.  When  you worked a company they wrote your mission for you.  When you have  your own business you have to know the mission of your company.  Think  about planning your personal life as well.  What direction do you want  to go in--business or marriage.  A marriage take work by two people to  make it successful--having the same goal for your personal life.  If one  or the other decides to change the goal and they don't discuss  it--there is a breakdown in the relationship.  People who should listen  to this program areb business owners, students, couples, ETC.
