A Purpose Statement Is Short And Powerful

  • Ideally a purpose statement is short and to the point
  • About 20 words is a good target
  • If you have trouble restricting the length of your purpose statement, perhaps you haven’t reached the real heart of it
  • An effective purpose statement is:
  • Empowering, grounding, and gives you a sense of pleasure and connection
  • Gives you a sense of listening to yourself, of being understood
  • Invites you to enact it and live it
