What are the principles and philosophies that guide your business?

Let's work on outlining your values and beliefs. If your company already has clearly defined values, then this will be very simple. If not, then you are going to want to take your time and seriously consider what values align with how you want your business to look in the future.

Values will differ widely from business to business; the main thing is to start writing down your answer to the question, "what are the principles and philosophies that guide your business?" Open a document or notepad and write as many as you want; you're going to have to pare this down in a minute, but for now, the goal is to get them out and begin wrestling with them. Try, and keep them ranked from most important to least important because if you end up with a big list, you will have to use just the top few in creating a vision statement.

Example: honesty, quality, service, and caring culture.

Write down your top 3 values in the Values section of the StacDek Vision Statement template. It may be helpful to check with partners or coworkers to see if those values resonate with them and accurately represent your business.
