Go poke around any company’s website, and you’ll find a mission statement.
It lays out who the organization is and why it exists in the first place.
It helps them focus their efforts and show others what they’re aiming for.
For example, Google says its mission is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”
And they do just that — you can sift through humanity’s collective knowledge with a simple Google search. The mission statement encompasses Google’s reasons for existing quite well.
Now, missions aren’t just for big companies. You can set a mission for your own life and even write it down as a personal mission statement.
In fact, I firmly believe everyone should define a mission for their lives.
Having a mission gives you focus. It helps you make better decisions with less effort because it always comes back to “will this move me closer to accomplishing my mission?”
You won’t get caught in analysis paralysis, because your mission will tell you if you should do something.
On the contrary: without a mission, you’ll drift through life without a clear purpose.
That doesn’t mean life will suck. But giving yourself a larger purpose in life makes you feel like the work you do counts for something.
Mission’s don’t have to be fancy. Your mission (and many people kinda have this mission) could be as simple as starting a business so you can create much more wealth than you could in a job — therefore giving your children a better financial future.
Without defining this as your mission, you might never have the gall to leap from a comfortable job into the perils of entrepreneurship.
But when you set your mind to starting that business, you’ll power through any setbacks and work your tail off to make it happen.
Let’s look briefly at my own life to give you another example.
My mission way back at the start of my trading days was simply to dig my way out of debt and financial turmoil. To be free of the money worries that plagued my family during my childhood.
Despite setback after setback, I kept going because I had a purpose driving me forward.
If I didn’t clarify why I was trying so hard at trading, I can tell you right now I would’ve given up way back in the day.
The blown-up trading accounts and sleepless nights wouldn’t have been worth it if I wasn’t set on accomplishing my mission.
But I was. I stopped at nothing to accomplish it.
Today, my mission has changed, but not all that much. I want my family and me to be free of financial worry, and I want to help others experience the same.
(That’s partly why I started Big Energy Profits in the first place. I can help other people make big profits and live a life of freedom.)
Every day, my mission guides me.
Concrete example: I don’t trade 8 hours a day because that would interfere with teaching my members and enjoying life with my family.
Sure, I could maybe make more money by placing more trades, but doing so wouldn’t be in line with what I want out of trading in the first place.
I would never have been able to go on a fancy holiday vacation with my wife this past holiday season — while paying my other business’s employees to stay home with their families. Nor would I have had the time to start BEP.
But because I made it my mission to create a life of financial freedom, I can do all that and more.
And so, in short: give yourself a mission, and pursue that mission relentlessly. At the end of the day, it simply feels great to work toward a larger purpose.
Speaking of BEP, I created it to help people like you follow my trades, learn the basics behind my methods, and possibly come away with healthy profits in the process.
Despite crazy markets in recent months, my members have seen a good five figures in profits on daily and weekly trades alone — not to mention another several grand on my “home run” trades that are the cornerstone of BEP.

And I encourage you to spend some time this weekend (or whenever you have free time) thinking about and working out your personal mission in life.
