The Family Coach @ Home - Mission statement > Vision statement > Your Family Rules

Every home, family and structure is built on a foundation. As you build your extraordinary family home you lay your family foundation, your family mission and values, and your reason for being. Out of your foundation grows the structure of your home, your family rules, behavioral expectations and your opportunities for family health and happiness.

The first step is to pour your family foundation, we’ll build your Happier Home as we go.

Step 1 is to develop your family mission statement, your family values, and your description of the family you want to live in.

Step 1: Define your Mission

Every family lives for a purpose. That purpose is your family mission. Some families live to give back, some live to raise one another up, some live to re-create the past, some live with passion for the future. By summarizing your family purpose, you lay the most stable part of the foundation of your family home. The place where you live, breathe, learn, love and grow.
