| 0:29.0 | Hello, hello, everyone, and welcome to Productivity Paradox. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton, |
| 0:35.1 | and this is episode five. Today, we are going to be taking what we talked |
| 0:40.7 | about last time in episode four, where we talked about personal mission statements, and we are |
| 0:46.0 | going to be applying this to family mission statements. Now, hold on before you say, oh, this |

| 1:47.0 | It helps create some unity. |
| 1:49.0 | So as you make decisions, everyone agrees and understands with the process. |
| 1:54.0 | People understand in that family with you what the core values are and what you are working towards. |
