Mission Statement
Definition
A concise declaration of why your business exists, the problem it solves, for whom, and how. Usually one to two sentences.
Why it matters
A mission statement is your decision-making compass. When facing a fork in the road, new product, partnership, expansion, the mission tells you which direction is right.
Example
"Marlowe & Co exists to make clean, refillable home fragrance that people feel good about buying again and again." Clear. Specific. Actionable.
