Building a company is a journey. Much like hitchhiking from one city to the next, there are many paths, many people along the way - but without a destination - there is no purpose. Everyone has a different opinion on the details of the trip - where to eat, sleep, stop, etc - but in order for the journey to have meaning - everyone needs to agree on the destination.
So many companies start with what is labeled as a "vision" or a "mission statement"... but most of the time the words they use make no sense, sound like something copied off a motivational poster or a weight-loss clinic brochure. A company needs to define a "Destination" before it can really build a plan, a team and achieve success.
The Destination is more than seeking fortune, power and glory - it is a bold statement of where you will be in 1,5 and 10 years.
