The mission (used described as a </span>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_statement <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;">mission statement</span>]<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">) is a short one or two sentence statement that encompasses what you aim to do and how you plan to do it. When determining your mission statement for the project, you must have a clear goal of what you are trying to accomplish. The best way to do this would be by determining the value proposition of your project and trying to condense the through process into two sentences. Some of the best companies in the world run their multi-billion dollar operations around a one sentence mission. After your mission is complete you will want to lay out your operating values. The values you determine will act as a code of rules for how the company will be run. The most impactful values for a company may range from a single word to a multi-sentenced idea. Once your values are set, you want to form your actions around them. That being said, values ARE NOT always concrete and will change based on the circumstances. Stay true to your values and work hard to achieve your mission and that will have a direct impact on your success.</span></span><br/></div>

Any type of center for entrepreneurship will have an open ear to new business ventures. They will also, most likely, have donors of their own so do not hesitate to ask for their resources. Branching out to local investors is also a great way to go as long as you are sure that you present an idea with a very strong foundation. Having a good foundation is the most important part of asking for funding. Grants are also a very good way to go. Grants can be found locally after doing research. It is essential to make sure that the mission of the funding party matches that of the asking party. If it were to occur that the two missions did not match, it could result in conflict later down the line. This makes choosing the funders carefully, a very critical aspect.</span></span></span></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
