Creating and integrating an empowering personal mission statement is one of the most important investments we can make. ~ Stephen Covey 
Missions are assignments or commitments intended to achieve a specific purpose. As you can imagine, missions come in many flavors. In order to achieve the desired outcome of your mission, it is desirable to plan and execute your plan for best results. As with any strategy that aspires to achieve a goal, the basic tenets of knowledge, planning and perseverance have a major bearing on the success of the venture. On the flip side, the deterrents to mission success are typically procrastination, inaction, and analysis-paralysis. In order to avoid these hindrances that complicate and negate fulfillment, it is always advisable to find a mentor.
