Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are nearly as recognizable as Oscar-winning actors, and the persona of a startup founder with a signature personal uniform has its own sex appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Yet what makes the startup founder persona aspirational is not wealth. What makes Zuckerberg and his founder cohorts cool is that they built their own companies, they do something they\u2019re really good at, and they influence people and culture with their talents.<\/p>\n<p>We all know the adage, \u201cIf you love what you do, you\u2019ll never work a day in your life.\u201d But how does a person who hasn\u2019t yet uncovered their \u201ccalling\u201d figure out what they\u2019re passionate about?<\/p>\n<p>Kickstart a passion-driven life and career with these encouraging words from business leaders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See passion as a career-long journey<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Amy Schofield, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/locations\/berkeley\/berkeley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WeWork Berkeley<\/a> member and founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicbridesmaid.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chic Bridesmaid<\/a>, a bridesmaid dress rental service, you need think long-term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe moment I saw passion as a journey and not a destination was the moment I saw what enriches my life, what I am drawn to, what inspires me, and what ignites passion,\u201d she says. \u201cIt then became a question of where to focus my energy, now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Look for what every job can teach you<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Expecting your first few jobs to be your calling would be like expecting one of the first three people you dated to be the one you marry. Instead, use your current job to discover what skills you most enjoy using.<\/p>\n<p>Emily Fletcher spent 10 years acting on Broadway before finding her purpose: teaching meditation. As opposed to seeing her hard-earned musical theater career as a waste of time, her performing experience informs her as a teacher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more you can commit yourself fully to the thing you\u2019re doing right now, the more you\u2019re going to learn from it,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen it \u2018clicks\u2019 and you get clear on what you\u2019re passionate about, then everything you\u2019ve learned up to that point, you can funnel into your new project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fletcher owns the New York-based meditation studio <a href=\"http:\/\/zivameditation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ziva Meditation<\/a> and has taught meditation to employees at Google and other companies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep track of compliments<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lois Frankel, author of the bestselling book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drloisfrankel.com\/books_office.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Nice Girls Don\u2019t Get the Corner Office<\/em><\/a><em>,<\/em> advises those thinking about their passions to keep track of compliments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsually what we\u2019re good at is often what we really love to do,\u201d Frankel says. \u201cIf you get a lot of positive feedback about, say, \u2018The reports you write are so accurate, so detailed, and really valuable to me,\u2019 then I would have to make the assumption you probably enjoy writing.<\/p>\n<p>Frankel says it\u2019s about the awareness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA compliment is not just a compliment, it\u2019s data, and it\u2019s data that I should be paying attention to, saving, and capitalizing on,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use creative workbooks for thoughtful reflection<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ayse Birsel, the author of the recently released book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Design-Life-Love-Step-Step\/dp\/1607748819\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Design the Life You Love<\/em><\/a>, advises readers to make lists, graphs, and drawings to reimagine their talents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think of life as a design project,\u201d she says. \u201cIn design, everything is about visualizing a new idea. I advocate that we choose to imagine our life and make it our own original design. It&#8217;s a creative kind of control that we can have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other excellent workbooks are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daniellelaporte.com\/shop\/the-fire-starter-sessions-paperback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>The Fire Starter Sessions<\/em><\/a> and the corny, but revered classic <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/What-Color-Your-Parachute-2015\/dp\/1607745550\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What Color Is Your Parachute?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Think about what personal missions drive you<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One takeaway from <em>What Color Is Your Parachute? <\/em>is that career changers shouldn\u2019t focus on exploring what subjects most interest them, but rather what skills they most enjoy using. That way they can do what they\u2019re best at in a variety of organizations and industries.<\/p>\n<p>Schofield says that she is most energized by creating community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to leverage technology to bring people together during this exciting (and sometimes stressful) time to help ease the decision-making process,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Schofield realizes that having this one-liner mission\u2014that she creates community\u2014opens her up to a world of professional opportunity and fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many ways one can create a community.
