Life purpose. Am I doing it right?

I guess you mean selling medical equipment to hospitals.
But that's not what this is about, your life purpose should not be a job description. Your life purpose is what do I want to have at the end of my life, what do I want to look back on?
For many people it's good experiences with family and friends and a lot of sex with beautiful women. But it could be bettering the world, saving children in Africa, becoming powerful through politics, financial independence, whatever you so desire. Think about what you really really want and then decide what you need to do to get that. Don't rush it, plan it.
Always check that every day you get up and do something, it's in someway getting you towards that goal or smoothing the road.

There's no right way to do it. What you wrote sounds more like a personal mission. Your purpose is a collection of your life choices and actions and can only become clear over time. You don't choose your purpose, your purpose chooses you.

I believe David Deida once said that you will fulfill different purposes in different periods of your life and they will bring you closer and closer to your life's purpose. You can't know (wel you can but it's very rare) your life's purpose at a young age.

You probably found A purpose

And you'll find another

And another

Each bringing you closer to your life's purpose.

These answers you require are not found outside of you and I'm not even trying to be deep or preachy.

Purpose is why.

You've found how, which will result in what.

Start with why.

Why do you want to be that link?

Wanting to help others gives our life purpose, as does what we do day to day in small ways to make the world a better place for everyone we meet.
