Your manifesto can be fun and engaging or serious and intellectual. Whatever you choose, make sure that your manifesto reflects the core of your business. I've drafted a few manifestos over the last few months. Our first and latest manifesto drafts are below.Take a moment to read and review them and let us know what you think. Then write your own manifesto. You can even write a manifesto for your personal life! With 2015 right around the corner, it may help you define who you are and where you want to take yourself during the year!
Draft 1:When I wake up in the morning, the very first thought in my mind is: "Just 30 more minutes...." and after that, I roll out of bed and get to work, usually. My heart glows when I create a product or offer a service that customers love, and my heart breaks when I realize that I can't do everything at the same time *sigh* My customers are my life force. More than anything else I care about helping them live their best life possible! In my world, creativity (and innovation) is an absolute necessity. Innovation is always a fabulous idea. Mediocrity is overrated and stagnation is a definite NO! Fantasizing about Shea butter is totally reasonable. Striving for my goals is a must, but at the end of the day, my sn is all that really matters. When I die, I want to be remembered as a person who changed the world by positively influencing the people around me and who inspires others to dream, plan, and build too. ~Shanta
Draft 2: Everyday is an opportunity to be successful! My family, my relatives and my customers, keep me motivated to work at top capacity. My heart glows when i am able to deliver a product or service that a customer loves and needs. I experience heartbreak every time I try to take on too many projects at once and some or all don't turn out right. More than anything else, I care about helping families live their best life possible! In my world, creativity, innovation, and motivation are must haves. Innovation is always a phenomenal idea! Mediocrity is overrated and stagnation is DEATH! Fantasizing about Shea butter and soap is totally reasonable. Striving for and achieving my goals is a must, but at the end of the day, my baby boy is all that really matters. When I die, I want to be remembered as a person who conquered the world by positively influencing families and individuals to take a chance on themselves and build a future that is better than the past and present. Remember me as a woman who built companies to inspire others to dream, plan, and build too. ~Shanta
