We all know those people who seem to be on a never-ending quest to find their life's purpose. They spend hours meditating and pouring through texts, brooding on how to find out why exactly they were put here on Earth.

My own personal philosophy is that you don't find your purpose, you create it. And odds are that your purpose is less about yourself and more about how to best use your gifts to help others.

This is why learning your calling often means getting out of your own head and heading out in the world to get busy. Read on to learn more on how you can uncover your purpose, without getting so mentally wrapped up in the quest that you find you aren't getting things done.

You are the sum of what you do. Not what you do occasionally or twice a year, but what you do over and over again. I firmly believe that the habits you set for yourself each day are what most fundamentally determine what kind of person you're going to be.

Just as in training dogs, the key to training yourself to obtain habits of success is consistency. We may have some learned and deeply rooted behaviors that we need to remove from our mindset, but it is absolutely possible to change yourself if you focus on making progress each day where you can.

It's easy to lose sight of how new and fast evolving our internet infrastructure is. It was really not so long ago that the customers you could easily target were largely limited on a geographic basis. Today you are able to reach customers anywhere in the world through technology, greatly increasing the sphere of your potential influence – but also increasing the number of other competitors you need to win customers away from.

You don't have to fancy yourself a tech wizard to get up to date on building your own online empire. Jack Ma certainly didn't let his lack of a technical background stand in the way of his journey from an obscure teacher to the founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba.

What has you most worried or concerned about starting your own business? Are there risks you consider that you just can't imagine stomaching?

A fear of risk is common for many of us. It's what keeps so many potential investors out of the stock market, content to park their retirement prospects in cash or bonds. They just can't handle the sight of seeing those returns fluctuate.

But an outright fear of any risk whatsoever will almost certainly ensure that they never see big returns. The same goes for your career: no risk, no returns. But that doesn't mean that there aren't strategies and tools you can leverage to manage your risk levels and still chase your dreams.

When's the last time you deliberately set out on a strategy to brush up on a skill or subject area? Or for that matter, the last time you decided to educate yourself comprehensively about an entirely new subject?

It might sound like a luxury to focus on self-education, something you left behind in your student days. But the truth is that a commitment to ongoing learning will lead to far greater earning in the long run, just one of the many benefits you will reap from greater confidence and knowledge.

We are luckily living in a golden era of self-education, in which access to a wide variety of information has been democratized. You don't need to return to a campus to set about mastering new subjects – all you need is the commitment to make it a priority on your schedule.
