The Path: Creating Your Mission Statement For Work & Life

A "Business Week" bestseller--now in paperback--"The Path", written by the author of the bestselling "Jesus, CEO", presents the first book on creating a mission statement to guide oneself (or one's business) through work and life.

Laurie Beth Jones's first business bestseller, Jesus, CEO, made her the writer of choice for the large group of readers interested in bringing a spiritual dimension into their lives and business practices. In The Path, she again -- to great success -- combines powerful spiritual inspirations with sound, practical advice for helping individuals and the enterprises they lead to achieve their highest purposes and potentials.

The Path is a complete guide to finding and fulfilling one's mission in life and business through the formulation of a succinct and focused plan. While many business and self-help bestsellers have stressed the importance of writing a mission statement, The Path is the only book to guide readers carefully through every step of the often arduous process. Beginning with a discussion of three key elements of a successful mission statement (a single sentence in length; simple enough for a twelve-year-old to understand; and something you could recite at gunpoint), Jones goes on to examine the concept of destiny, the questions to be asked in finding a mission, the process of fulfilling a mission, and the overcoming of perils like discouragement, distraction, and fear. The Path is essential reading for every business -- and every individual -- seeking a clearer and more powerful way in the world.
