How do I find my purpose if I don't know what it is yet?
The Get Better Calling chapter offers a practical pattern recognition process — reviewing your life's themes, the problems you keep solving, and the pain you've transformed into wisdom. Purpose is discovered through reflection and action, not mystical revelation.
What if my current business doesn't align with my purpose?
This is valuable information, not a crisis. The framework provides tools for either evolving your business direction or finding the "calling layer" within your current work — the part that genuinely aligns with who you are.
Can a calling be more than one thing?
Yes. Most people have a primary calling thread — an underlying theme — that expresses itself in multiple ways over a lifetime. The directional question ("I am moving in the direction of...") captures this better than a single specific calling.
Is it too late to find my purpose?
Never. The Get Better framework includes stories of people in their 50s, 60s, and beyond who used the Calling pillar to pivot to work that felt genuinely meaningful. Calling doesn't have an expiration date.
