It's time
for Entrepreneurs to move past
information (overload) and on to
execution - It's Time for
Entrepreneurship 2.0!
Hello
Growth Entrepreneurs, I'm Sherese Duncan
and I'm on a Mission!
If you own a business and
your mission statement proves
that your business is posed for growth
then Efficio Inc. is looking for you!
We're hosting our first annual
Mission Statement Contest.
Mission (purpose) is a precise
description of “why” your organization
exists currently (guiding ideals that
give meaning to our actions). The
mission statement has a direct bearing
on the bottom line and success of the
organization because it drives action
(for business, action involves an
intention, a goal, and a bodily movement
guided by the mission statement).
Many strategy specialists
question the requirement for a written
mission statement; Myself and the
Efficio Team know that it’s
absolutely necessary
for businesses to stay on track
especially during major growth.
This can be your opportunity to showcase
your company's mission and be put in the
spotlight, and just maybe, take your
business to the next level through
unprecedented exposure when Efficio
publishes the Winner in December!
“...Efficio
was great in providing a
road map to help lead me to
the "core" of what was
important to me not only in
my career but personally as
well. I love the mission
statement I created for my
life and my company. I
have it at the top of all my
sales meetings still. Some
of the best growth I have
done has been with
Sherese.”

About the
Contest
Efficio's Mission Statement contest was
launched because we're dedicated to
helping entrepreneurs exceed their
definition of success.
A company who values their mission
statement and who actually uses their
mission statement can be hard to find.
Well, we're on a mission to find those
companies! - even if you're not sure if
your mission statement is stellar we
still want to showcase you.
The goal of the contest is not just
about entries and a winner. It's
about
promoting the importance of guiding
principles and values
(mission statement) for small business.
Most of the time we're (entrepreneurs)
not sure of the difference between our
vision statements and mission
statements.
Efficio wants to change that mindset and
you can help by entering our contest!
