SPIRITUAL AND B AL AND BUSINESS MISS INESS MISSION WITH COMPASSION TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL The most important aspect for the success of any business is its mission. If a mission is clear and strong, a business will weather the trials that every business goes through during the first few years. When a business gets big and forgets its mission, or if that mission is no longer needed, the business will begin to die and that’s why every entrepreneur needs to keep the big vision and the business mission alive all the time. Almost all notable entrepreneurs faced trials and tribulations that would destroy mere mortals. Success has many parents, but failure is an orphan. Without an entrepreneur’s sense of mission and strong emotional intelligence, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Facebook might not be here today. There are several reasons why you need a big vision with a business mission. First of all, a big vision is more motivating most especially if it can have a positive impact to a lot of people on the environment and society as a whole. If you think that you will need to agonize through years of toiling away at your business just to get to the point of making $50,000.00 a year, you are going to spend a lot of time wondering if it’s worth it. If, on the other hand, you shoot for, let’s just say 10 times that amount, you no longer need to justify the work you are putting in. The work is going to pay off in a big way. Another reason is that thinking big helps you think outside the box. There are all the obstacles inherent in running a business: where are you going to get funding, what is your business model going to look like, and many other concerns. If all you can see are obstacles, you will never seize on an opportunity even if it is staring you right in the face. You need to be able to look for opportunities and have the courage to tackle them despite their obstacles (Matthew, 2021).
