Where are we going?

How do we continue to
grow?
How do we know if our
firm is doing the right things?
How do we know what is a
good risk to take?
Where do we focus our precious
resources?

Spend a few minutes to record your mission…
Who do you admire? • Write down the name of person that you
know and admire. – Write down what view to be their admirable
qualities • Write down the name of a public person that
you admire. – Write down what view to be their admirable
qualities. • Consider: character, values, achievements, or
personality • Example: My grandma always made time for
others and made them feel special.
1
What legacy will you leave?
• How would you like the important people in your life to remember you and talk about you? – Family member – Friend – Community member – Employee / Employer – Spirituality
• Example: She was a life-long learner who always sought to expand her skills and challenge herself.
2
What are your passions?
• What do you love to do? • What talents and skills do you possess
that are most important to you and that you enjoy?
• What are you good at? • Example: I love helping students recognize
their potential, and I love going on adventures.
3
• What is my purpose? • What am I doing to grow toward my
potential? • What am I doing to invest in others? • Am I leading my own journey or
following in someone else’s path?

Wendy’s Mission: Grounding Principle: To be an example of how to live a full and meaningful life, grounded with love. Highest Purpose: To always be courageous, kind and loving. And to do things today that will matter tomorrow.
"Whatever you value, be committed to it and let nothing distract you from this goal. The uncommitted life, like Plato’s unexamined life, is not worth living." —The Hesburgh Papers, 1979
1979 Harvard MBA program, students were asked, "Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made plans to accomplish them?”

No Goals, 84%
Goals Not Written, 13%
Goals Written, 3%
Ten years later, the members of the class were interviewed again… – The 13 percent of the class who had goals were
earning, on average, twice as much as the 84 percent who had no goals
– The 3 percent who had clear, written goals were earning, on average, ten times as much as the other 97 percent put together.

Goals are dreams with a deadline • BHAG
– Big-Hairy-Audacious-Goal – Typically 10 – 30 years out
• SMART – Specific, Measurable, Action-
based, Realistic, Time-Related – Shorter-term, to help
accomplish BHAG
Let’s write some goals…
Questions to consider • What is your dream job? • What would you do if that job didn’t exist? • What would you do if money were no object? • Where is the one place you have always
wanted to travel? • What new skill would you love to learn if
you had time? • If you could live anywhere and it couldn’t be
home, where would you live?

2021 • In just under 5 years, Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. • In less that 5 years Shakespeare wrote “Hamlet,” “Othello,” Kind Lear,”
Macbeth” and five other immortal platys. • In 1961, Julia Child graduated from cooking school with a quirky idea for a TV
show. 4 years later she won an Emmy as America’s favorite TV chef. • At age 30, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was living in a 500-square foot apartment.
5 years later his net worth was $10 billion (today it is $59.1 billion). • Tim and Nina Zagat were corporate lawyers when they began printing
restaurant guides. At 51, they left the law world to work full-time on their guides. In 2011, Google bought Zagat for $151 million.
• Grandma Moses is one of the biggest names in American folk art, and she didn't even pick up a brush until she was well into her eighth decade. Grandma Moses was originally a big fan of embroidery, but once her arthritis grew too painful for her to hold a needle, she decided to give painting a try in the mid-1930s. She was 76 when she cranked out her first canvas, and she lived another 25 years as a painter—long enough to see the canvases she had sold for $3 fetch prices north of $10,000. (MentalFloss 2016)

“Over the years I’ve watched the fates of my HBS classmates from 1979 unfold; I’ve seen more and more of them come to reunions unhappy, divorced, and alienated from their children. I can guarantee you that not a single one of them graduated with the deliberate strategy of getting divorced and raising children who would become estranged from them. And yet a shocking number of them implemented that strategy. The reason? They didn’t keep the purpose of their lives front and center as they decided how to spend their time, talents, and energy.”

“When you reach the end of your life do you want to be one of the people who are glad they did, or one of the people who wish they had? Start doing the things today that will matter tomorrow. Don’t leave this world without giving it your all. The best inheritance you can leave your kids is an example of how to live a full and meaningful life. Live your life so that your children can tell their children that you not only stood for something wonderful – you acted on it!” – Dan Zadra, author
