Do you think having a mission or purpose is important?
Everyone needs a purpose. Every company needs a mission.
Some say the mission is “making money.” That sounds empty to me.
What do you all think? What's your purpose, and how have you communicated it to the people around you?

Wow, great answers guys.
I agree -- companies and people need a mission. And it's not about money. I wrote a post about it here: http://www.chrisfharvey.com/2011/08/mission-and-purpose/

In my opinion every one have purpose , it's very meaning full , we will plan the target and trying to fullfill. In the company we have to performand good, and achievement the target. Communication is very important and it's significant effect.

Purpose or mission helps us sustain. When you fail, you'll keep on moving because you'll still have your purpose intact. It's like a guiding star that you're always trying to reach. So it's important, I think.
I like your question Mr. Chris, It's very clear that you need something very specific, the purpose should not too general like "making money" People telling you that it's seem they don't know or have never try to find the purpose of their life or business seriously.
So the problem that how can we defining the purpose? Could you please sharing your view on this? How to find or defining your purpose? How to stay focus on your purpose or mission?-

The answer to your question I would give is ALWAYS DO - failing to determine the mission is the mission to fail. It does help us walk down on the right direction that makes our way to successes shorter, everybody is aware of this so I will not take up too much of time to talk about the reason anymore. Let's me also give my opinion on where the mission/purpose should take place. Those are INCOME, FAMILY, HEALTH and NETWORK as pointed out by Brian Tracy as well as when you mentioned that the mission of "making money" did not sound right to you because it is inadequate, I bet.
Thank you for your question, Mr. Harvey, which I think that you had an intention to remind people of having a mission/purpose/goal, etc. in all of the aspects that I mentioned above. I am eager to hear more of your sharing on this topic. Thank you one more time, Mr. Harvey! :)

Yes, i think it is important to have a purpose in life, not only in work but also life. Cause it will help people to give out the plan and a destination.

Having personal mission (or purpose) is very important because it drives how you live your life ( including how you work) in the most effective and meaningful way. Yes, some people choose the mission like "to have money". It sounds empty cause it not answer the deep down question of your life purpose.. " Why do you want what you want?". Keep asking our self this questions will help us reveal the true thing that we want to follow in life.
My personal purpose is "Touching everybody life that I encounter everyday and create beauties that last". Anphabe mission of "Connecting people - connecting opportunities" is also under this.
Actions speaker louder than thousand words. If you want to communicate this to the people around you, LIVE IT consistent and naturally people will feel it, appreciate it and help you to fulfill it too:).
I love your question , Chris!

Sure, depend on short or long term everyone or company have different purpose. The purpose may be changed by the time and situation.
If you have purpose, you know the reason why you live, why you work, study, communicate?-
