On this episode of Four of a Kind, we talk about the role of mission statements - creating them (and how long it took us to get ours nailed down!), the impact on strategy, and how they may or may not vary industry to industry -- we had some different views on that!

We referenced a few things in our episode:

• The definition of "entrepreneur" according to this article at Business News Daily
• "The Originals" by Adam Grant - check it out on Amazon
