Hehe... well this post is definitely taking my management skills and initiatives to the next level. I guess that in the back of my mind I always had some kind of mission statement and values but always very general. I have never quite formalized or put them on paper. While I like writing my thoughts/objectives/goals out because it helps me define and crystalize my thoughts I never got to writing this particular one out. The main reason for that is because I always thought, and I am pretty sure you can relate, my mission statement is so innate to me that there is no need to put it on paper. Multiple books and papers state that I should do otherwise. However, being persistent, opinionated and at times simply stubborn I refused to do so . But now even my professor urges me to go ahead and write the mission statement out. That must be fate because not in a million years I would think I'd have to do something that is actually this relevant to my life as one of the tasks for a class in college - if you took Econometrics 4000 you can surely relate.
I have decided to choose a bit broader goal of succeeding in my career as a salesperson in order to create the mission statement. I thought that picking just one of the goals I provided would not be quite enough for a couple of reasons. The plan in my previous post is very career oriented and way too specific (if you don't know what i'm talking about go back immediately and read my previous post)

I agree that you made a good choice by selecting a broader goal to analyze strategically. It gives you more to expand on and less of a chance to encounter redundancy in terms of the content of your postings.
So for the post, I like the whole professional feel of the layout, which is far from my post's structure, but hey, I'm usually far from normal =P. I think that it is really creative how you stray away from the "I will better myself" view of things, and emphasize your position as a sort of "booster" for the organization(s) you will be working in. This increases the attractiveness of your mission to other companies will to work with you. I think it's a solid statement, but with such good planning, do you think it's worth limiting yourself to only 400% by the end of the year 2008? I think with such skills, you should be able to suggest a "400% or more increase." It will definitely give any organizations looking at your personal mission, that special feeling inside, as "Mr. Aleksandr Lukashov may be the one!"
Bettering yourself through helping the company greatly improve itself, superb idea! Work your magic Alex, and become that successful, educated professional with iron ambitions!

Karup - you the man!
I totally agree with you on the whole 400% or more increase. In fact - I edited my post. No need to put limitations. Plus, you know I'm not just going to stop once I reach that 400% mark ;)
"I will lead the company that I currently work for to 400% or more increase in revenue by the end of 2008."
