In this episode, Dan and Todd talk about what makes a good mission statement. From the things to avoid to an example of what to strive for, this episode dives deep into why mission is critical for an inbound organization. Show Notes   [1:20] The Inbound Organization Assessment The Inbound Organization Assessment is a simple to use, handful of questions that help companies build the right foundation for becoming inbound. Taking the assessment will help you gauge how much work needs to be done, familiarize you with the concepts and terms of inbound, and give you actionable steps you can take to become an inbound organization. [4:26] The Question: Why are leaders and executives so important to building an inbound organization? Leaders and executives are vital to building an inbound organization because they define a companies mission. That mission is the foundation and guiding values and principles you want your people to follow and share. Your mission is so important in today’s world because people want to do business with people who share their values and principles. They want to work with businesses that mirror their beliefs, and the same holds true for employees. People want to work for a company that they can believe in. Caring about what you’re doing for work and whey you’re doing it is why people go the extra mile and invest their time and energy into their employers. [9:16] What is a Good Mission? “A mission is how your company uses your resources, people, products, and service capabilities to help a certain set of people in a specific target market solve a specific problem.” – Inbound Organization An inbound mission begins with the why and works backward to how you are going to help people. [12:35] Dan’s Rant Today’s rant is an example of an excellent mission statement which comes from Forge, a San Francisco based startup. “Forge is creating a new contract between employees and employers that offers workplace and schedule flexibility to those working in the service industry.” Stacey Ferreira   [13:22] Todd’s Truth A good test of your mission is to ask yourself if any other company could use the same mission statement to describe their organization. Also, no buzzwords!

This time around, I sit down with Stacey Ferreira. Stacey is a force of will. At 18 she founded her first tech startup with her brother. Sir Richard Branson invested, pivots were made, company was sold by the time she turned 20. Later, as one does, she went on to write and publish a book - 2 Billion under 20 - and start her next company, Forge. Stacey and I talk a lot about a topic I'm very interested in- Ambition. I’ve been trying to understand what drives young people to work so hard and give up so much of their free time, social lives, and leisure for pursuits greater than themselves. That’s where we started, but we transition into finding great mentors, managing people older than yourself, and Stacey’s thoughts about the future of work. So please enjoy my conversation with Stacey Ferreira. @staceyferreira joinforge.com 2 Billion Under 20: How Millennials Are Breaking Down Age Barriers and Changing the World

Connection interview with young female entrepreneur Stacey Ferreira is entitled Plugging into People: The Importance of Becoming a Pro in Networking, Connecting, and Communicating. Stacey is the CEO of Forge which is her second entrepreneurial venture. She speaks around the world on the importance of youth entrepreneurship. Stacey and her brother co-founded MySocial Cloud, an Internet security platform when she was 18 years old. Stacey is one of the young women included in the documentary, She Started It and is the co-author of the best selling book, 20 under 20 Million.  Stacey's contact information: Stacey@staceyferreira.com Her business Forge, is found at www.joinforge.com

Do you have an awesome idea for business? An idea is a good start, but the challenge is executing on that idea and taking the first few steps. Today’s guest will help you take your first step. Stacey Ferreira is an incredible entrepreneur – who, at the age of 24, has already founded two successful companies (and sold one) – and co-author of 2 Billion Under 20: How Millennials Are Breaking Down Age Barriers and Changing the World. Founding Two Businesses Before 25 In 2011, Stacey Co-Founded My Social Cloud, an SSO company whose investors include Sir Richard Branson, Jerry Murdock, and Alex Walsh. In 2013, My Social Cloud was acquired by Reputation.com, where she worked before going back to college. She is currently the CEO of Forge, an enterprise scheduling software that empowers employees to pick the hours that they work at retail and restaurant locations across the U.S. Dropping Out of College to Run a Business Originally, Stacey was running My Social Cloud and going to college. After her Freshman year, it was clear that she had to choose between running the business full-time or the investors replacing her. She dropped out, and she doesn’t regret the decision at all. It allowed her to grow the business and, ultimately, be the youngest female tech entrepreneur to successfully make an exit. Forge While working on 2 Billion Under 20, Stacey noticed a trend in a lot of the new jobs being created: people have flexible hours, and the specific hours they work aren’t important as long as the job gets done. But Stacey saw a hole in the market. 58% of the American population works a traditional hourly job. So how can those people experience the same flexibility? Most of these people work at a specific location, so the only way they can get flexibility is through the hours they work. Stacey believes that this flexibility in hours is a macro trend that will only increase, and she’s capitalizing on it early. Day-to-Day Operations A lot of the first year was pitching and financing. After securing financing, they had to hire engineers to make the software a reality. Since then, 90% of her time is spent doing product management: making sure they have the right product-market fit and everyone on the team is aligned with the same goals. The rest of her time is spent doing customer development and sales. That means marketing campaigns, events for small businesses in localized areas, customer support, and demos for larger clients.

Stacey Ferreira is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author based in New York City and Los Angeles. At 18 years old, she co-founded MySocialCloud with her brother and Shiv Prakash in 2011. They sold MySocialCloud to Reputation.com in 2013, where she began working as a Product Marketing Manager. Reputation.com is where she fell in love with storytelling and shortly after working there she published 2 Billion Under 20: How Millennials Are Breaking Down Age Barriers and Changing the World. The ideas from this book led her to her next project, Forrge, an on-demand, quality workforce.
