			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop_cap">A</span> friend of mine sent me the link to this video from <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.guykawasaki.com/">Guy Kawasaki</a>. In it, he talks about entrepreneurship and provides advice for start ups.</p>
<p>What caught my attention from his presentation was the fact that he mentioned the need of creating a <strong>Mantra </strong>instead of a <strong>Mission Statement</strong>. He advices the audience to keep in mind that a Mission Statement must be useful for your employees. This is the same point I was making in my post <a href="http://blog.andresvivas.com/is-your-mission-statement-worthless/">Is your Mission Statement worthless?</a></p>
<p>The video is 39 minutes long and contains great information about many topics, but if you want to watch only the section where he talks about <strong>Mission Statements</strong> then start watching 06:22 into it, and you can stop watching at the 12:12 marker.</p>
<p>Here is the video:</p>
