Defining your mission is a deep process that results in a bold statement of truth.

It’s not about crafting copy with key words.

This is a deep process none of the artists who I have worked with have come to define their mission and USP on their own.

It takes time and deep personal investigation so I can not possibly help you by typing within the space of this rectangle.

I invite you to apply for coaching.

I’ve done the digging and discovered that the greatest times of struggle in my life were always due to the feeling of isolation – not belonging and not having ‘my kind of people’ around who would ‘get me’. Or even worse, being around people who make assumptions about what kind of person I am to the point of me starting to act as is “expected” of me.
Now I have come to understand that “not belonging” is part of who I am and my lifestyle: I travel a lot and home is wherever I am today. But of course it is still difficult to create and maintain meaningful relationships. So I would say empathy and personal connection is very important to me.
I have also realised that people who travel a lot start thinking in a different way and I always try to encourage friends to be more adventurous and get out into the world.
At the same time one of my greatest goals is to live by example and that includes being successful and inspiring/empowering others.

My work consists of drawing images from my travels, retracing the experiences and memories and presenting them in a sleek ultra-modern format.

The problem is I am having real trouble figuring out how my work and my values merge into a mission. And I am also confused about the difference between a mission and a unique value proposition. Please help!
