I don't believe there are any cons. The mission statement is the heart of your company. It's why you started the business to begin with. It has definitely helped to keep me focused. Whenever I feel myself doing too much, but really nothing at all, I go back to my mission statement. I look at the tasks on my plate and if it doesn't help to fulfill that mission, it's gone!
