⚠️ Why Your Mission Statement Is Costing You Money and How to Fix It Fast


Your Mission Statement Isn’t Broken.

It’s Just Not Built for Today.

Hey Reader,

Still using that dusty mission statement from 1989?

With Thanksgiving around the corner, I’ve been reflecting on the stories we tell — and how powerful they can be when done right.

But most mission statements don’t tell stories. They just take up space.

You’re not alone. Most organizations cling to legacy language that sounds noble — but lands flat.

It’s not that your mission is wrong.

It’s that your message doesn’t move anyone anymore.

•People scroll right past it.

•Stakeholders skim it.

•Even your team forgets it.

Here’s the brutal truth:

Mission and vision statements were built for PowerPoint decks and boardroomsnot for real people.

They explain what you do.


But they don’t show why it matters.

  • They don’t stir emotion.
  • They don’t drive action.
  • They don’t make your story stick.

And as always, I’m not just here to tell you there’s a better way — I want to show you how to do it.


That’s why I created this free EPIC Mission Makeover Worksheet — to help you rewrite your mission into something people actually remember, repeat, and respond to.

👉 Download the worksheet here (PDF, printable, and built to spark clarity fast.)

And that’s why even the most impactful organizations struggle to clearly communicate their value — even when they’re changing lives, industries, or communities.

Now picture this:

You drop the paragraph no one remembers...


And replace it with a message your team can repeat with confidence and clarity.

A single framework that fuels your:

  • Brand story
  • Sales messaging
  • Investor decks
  • Strategic plans
  • Marketing content

All built in minutes.
All hitting like a sledgehammer.

A message that makes people feel.
That pulls them in.
That moves them to act.

And it’s coming...

A new tool is launching soon — built for the next era of story-driven, strategy-smart messaging.

⚡ Not just an app. Your unfair advantage in 2026.
⚡ Transforms your mission into clear, unforgettable communication.
⚡ Powers your marketing, positioning, and storytelling — all in one place.

And I’m not stopping there.

On Monday, Dec. 8th, I’m opening a very limited number of
done-for-you storytelling + marketing strategy packages for 2026.

⚠️ Only a few spots available. When they’re gone — they’re gone.

Mark your calendar. Set your reminder.

Something big is dropping. 👀

One smart prompt. One unforgettable message. One game-changing 2026.

What if 2026 is the year your nonprofit raises more support because people truly understand your impact?

Planning Without Guidance Creates Overwhelm Hey Reader, Most strategic plans don’t fail because leaders don’t care. They fail because planning is attempted in isolation.
