How can measurement help you increase your focus on your mission?

Like you, I have a mission. Here’s mine: Empowering Christian leaders and organizations to close the rhetoric/reality gap. And like you, I want to increase my focus on my mission.
 
Question: How can measurement increase focus on the mission?
 
Answer: For me, measuring my mission provides with me specific goals I can focus on. For example, to achieve my mission during this school year, I need to provide 15 workshops. Right now, I’m scheduled to do 8 workshops. So, I know I need to get contracts for 7 more workshops.
 
Here’s another example: To achieve my mission during this school year, I need to have a total of 20 new coaching clients. I have 15 clients, so I need 5 more.
 
By measuring progress on my mission, I know I need 7 more training contracts and 5 more coaching clients. Measuring progress on my mission provides me with specific goals I can focus on—and focusing on these goals helps me focus on my mission of empowering Christian leaders.
 
Question: How could measuring your mission could help you focus on it?
 
Focus on your God-given mission. Measure progress. Today.
