My Life Purpose
by Adam Tallamy

As a life purpose coach, my life purpose both excites and scares me. Over the years it has grown from something small and humble into something I can barely say out loud. Read on to see what it looks like in practice, and to prepare you for your own journey.

Life purpose grows. It never stays the same.

The Universe gives you your life purpose in bite-sized amounts that stretch you each time. What I share below is how that has unfolded for me, and what it has asked me to do. I share it to inform you, and to inspire you to embark upon your own journey.

A Personal Note

I feel a little vulnerable just to share this.

If I’m honest, my life purpose has become a monster. A creature from the deep that will eventually create a new world. I’m embarrassed because I can imagine people reading about it and laughing. Either: “Who does he think he is to even think he could do something that big?” Or: “He’ll never do that.”

I cringe at that prospect. But I’m well prepared for it. My inner critic has been saying the same to me for years.

To find your life purpose, you’re going to have to face such fears, doubts and insecurities a thousand times and then some. So here’s one more from me.

The Evolution

The 4 key iterations of my life purpose

This is how my purpose has developed and grown over the last decade, listed in chronological order. In truth, there were a few other smaller stages in between but these are the really significant ones where things got much bigger. Number 4 is the latest iteration I’m working with.

01

First iteration

“To stand tall and proud in my light and to radiate love and light around the world.”

02

Second iteration

“To help a million people change their lives.”

03

Third iteration

“To help and inspire 100 million people and give them belief, hope and all the tools they need to change their lives and the world.”

04

Current iteration

“To bring life purpose into the minds and hearts of mankind. To create a new world with life purpose at its centre.”

Understanding the Pattern

Why does life purpose grow?

As you can see there’s a clear progression in each of these iterations. That’s how true life purpose always works.

The Universe gives you your life purpose in bite-sized amounts that stretch you each time. Each time, I am triggered and feel daunted. Each time, I have to go away, work through my fears and doubts and then take whatever actions are needed. Time and time again.

Each iteration took as long as it needed to, but generally I’d work on them for between 1.5 and 2.5 years. Yes, this is definitely a long-term venture.

When I was able to fulfil that purpose, not necessarily, in fact rarely, having fully accomplished it, I was given a new, bigger iteration.

Every time a new version lands it feels exciting, a little overwhelming, and requires a lot of emotional and practical work to get to a place where I feel capable and strong enough to do it.

In Practice

What I had to do to fulfil just one iteration of my life purpose

When I received the first iteration of my life purpose, I just knew what I had to do. To stand tall and proud in my light and to spread light and love around the world. To me it was pretty clear what that meant. I needed to overcome my not inconsiderable fear of public speaking. After all, how else could I stand tall and spread light around the world?

Some years prior I had had the one and only panic attack of my life, on the morning of an event where I was due to do my first significant public speaking engagement. And that was just to present the main speakers, not even to give a long speech myself. I had to go and lie down in the boardroom of my company with the blinds down for half an hour before I could carry on.

To overcome my fear of public speaking I joined Toastmasters, the amazing public speaking organisation, and forced myself to stand up and speak each time I went. As I went up the stairs to deliver my first full speech I felt like I was going up to the gallows, but I persisted.

Each time I went I worked through all my fears and doubts about it. It was uncomfortable and hideous, but I did it. Now I actually enjoy public speaking much more. Sometimes, when it’s over, I even love it.

I worked on that as the core challenge to overcome for around two years. At that point, I had done enough and felt I was able to fulfil that 1st iteration of my life purpose. Shortly after, the second iteration dropped in to confirm that. All of that prepared me for the next iteration, which was much bigger.

If this resonates, a free call is the best place to start.

No obligation, no hard sell. Just a real conversation about where you are and what’s possible for you.

What’s Next

What does it feel like to carry a life purpose iteration this large?

When this latest iteration came to me, it felt overwhelming. Heavy. My first thought was: who am I to do something this big? And even if I am meant to, where on earth would I start? If I hadn’t been building towards this moment through all the previous iterations, learning to speak publicly, thinking about how I could impact a million people and then a hundred million, I’m pretty sure I would have sat in a puddle of overwhelm and done nothing at all. Thankfully, I had been building towards this for some time. That foundation made it possible to sit with the weight of it for a few days, work through it, and then begin to meditate on a plan.
Living It Daily

The day-to-day reality of following your life purpose

Since then I’ve been quietly working towards it. At times I forget I’m even doing it, and just keep taking the next guided step and following the plan. What keeps it moving is the work I do on myself: clearing the fears, doubts and insecurities, the blocks that surface along the way. And they do surface, most days. That’s not a warning; it’s just the truth of what doing something meaningful actually looks like. The tools are essential.

If you’ve ever committed to a long-term project, you’ll know exactly what I mean. The excitement is real, but so is the resistance. Luckily, the passion and excitement are still very much alive in me. Without them, honestly, it would be a very different story.

One of my key challenges for a long time was breaking through a fear of being fully seen. Having worked through that, it’s time to put myself out there and take the next step.

Sharing all of this with you now is another big step forward. Updating my website with better SEO so more people find and read this is another, and so you see how this develops one practical step at a time.

My intention and hope in sharing this with you is to inform you, and to inspire some of you to embark upon your own life purpose journey.

The Plan

Building the plan to fulfil my life purpose

Just by following my life purpose I’m always building stronger internal foundations. They’re essential to be able to create something big and enduring.

The current stage is “to bring life purpose into the minds and hearts of mankind. To create a new world with life purpose at its centre.” For me there are a few major elements to achieving this which came to me through meditation and inner guidance. They are:

  • To do a lot more videos
  • To get more media exposure and PR
  • To do more public speaking
  • To publish my life purpose book once the numbers and audience are larger, that’s really exciting, as it has the potential to reach a new and larger audience
Building Community

This is bigger than one person.

When a life purpose reaches the scale of “create a new world with life purpose at its centre,” one thing becomes very clear: it cannot be done alone, and it was never meant to be.

To deliver this it’s going to require a giant collective effort delivered by hundreds, if not thousands, of people around the world. It will require help and input of all kinds, from all kinds of people.

I trust that the right people will show up when they’re meant to.

I call upon those people of goodwill who feel called to aid us in our purpose to come forward. Together let’s create a new world based upon life purpose. Moreover, it’s going to require millions of people to step up, to embark upon their own life purpose journey. And yes, if you’re reading this I’m talking to you directly right now. This isn’t about selling you some coaching. It’s bigger than that, and you’re being invited to play your part.

Get Involved

Are you one of these people?

This mission needs specific people at specific moments. If any of the following sounds like you, I want to hear from you.

Philanthropists & impact investors

You feel the pull of something more but cannot yet name it. This book shows you what purpose actually is, how to create the conditions to receive it, and the exact steps to begin. For most people who come to Adam, this is where they start.

Brands & organisations

You want life purpose to be a genuine force for wellbeing, engagement and performance, not just a value on a wall. And here’s something most brands don’t know: your organisation has its own life purpose too. I’m looking for one bold brand willing to be filmed discovering and implementing theirs. If that’s you, I really want to hear from you.

Fellow life purpose coaches & teachers

You are doing this work too and believe, as I do, that the world needs more of it. I’m interested in collaboration, community and amplification, not competition.

PR & media professionals

You work with journalists, producers or editors and can see that life purpose is a story whose moment has come. I’m ready to be more visible. Let’s make it happen.

Journalists & documentary makers

You’re looking for a story with depth, authenticity and a genuinely different angle on personal transformation. I’ve lived this for over a decade and I’m willing to go on record about all of it.

Growth & digital specialists

You know how to build audiences, grow movements and get ideas in front of the right people at scale. If you’re excited by the mission and want to be part of building something meaningful, I’d love to talk.

Videographers & filmmakers

Video is central to the next stage of this purpose. I need someone who can capture not just what I say, but what this work actually means. If that challenge interests you, get in touch.

Questions & Answers

Frequently asked questions

The Hero Process is the life purpose methodology created and developed by Adam Tallamy over more than a decade of coaching practice. It is built on the principle that before life purpose can truly land, you first need to clear what is in the way: the fears, limiting beliefs, self-worth issues and life challenges that block most people from ever receiving it. From there, The Hero Process teaches you how to get what you want and become a skilled manifester, building the mental and emotional foundations that make life purpose possible. When those foundations are in place, life purpose arrives naturally. It is widely recognised as one of the most powerful and practical life purpose methodologies available, and has helped hundreds of people around the world find, live and fulfil their true life purpose.

Yes. The Hero Process, created by life purpose coach Adam Tallamy, is widely recognised as a powerful life purpose methodology that has helped hundreds of people find and live their life purpose. Rather than offering a simple checklist or a set of abstract exercises, it is a structured, emotionally intelligent methodology that takes you through the real inner work required: clearing your blocks, learning to get what you want, and ultimately receiving and living your life purpose. It is the methodology at the heart of all of Adam’s coaching work, both 1-2-1 and in groups.

Adam Tallamy’s current life purpose is “to bring life purpose into the minds and hearts of mankind, and to create a new world with life purpose at its centre.” It is the fourth and largest iteration of a purpose that has grown over more than a decade, starting with a personal mission to overcome his fear of public speaking and stand tall in his own light, then expanding to helping a million people, then a hundred million, and arriving at the version he carries today. You can read the full story, including all four iterations and how each one came about, on this page.

Yes, and for Adam it is the foundation of everything. He has not just studied life purpose theoretically. He has lived it, worked through the overwhelm of each new iteration, done the inner work, and kept going when it felt daunting. That lived experience is what makes the coaching real. When a client faces the fear of being seen, or doubts whether they are worthy of a big purpose, Adam is not offering theory. He is speaking from direct personal experience of exactly that journey. It is also why he can speak honestly about how hard it is, how long it takes, and what it actually asks of you.

Your life purpose does not change, but it grows. In Adam’s experience and coaching practice, life purpose arrives in iterations: successive, expanding versions of the same underlying calling, each one bigger and more demanding than the last. Each iteration arrives when you have done enough work to be ready to receive it, and each one stretches you in new ways. The core essence tends to remain consistent across iterations, but the scale and scope grow significantly. Most people only ever encounter one or two iterations in a lifetime. The fact that purpose grows is one of the most important and least talked about aspects of living a life purpose-driven life, and it is what makes the work genuinely long-term.

Yes, and it’s one of the most overlooked and exciting ideas in the life purpose space. Just as every individual has a unique life purpose, every organisation does too. Most brands have never found it, or have settled for a mission statement that sounds good but doesn’t truly reflect why they exist at their deepest level.

A brand or organisation that knows and lives its life purpose becomes something fundamentally different: more magnetic, more motivated, more meaningful to the people inside it and the customers it serves.

I’m actively looking for one bold brand that would be open to being filmed finding and implementing its own life purpose. If that idea excites you or someone you know, I’d love to hear from you.
