Advice needed: http://estfall1988.com/2010/01/23/my-new-career-plan/. I've officially refocused my energy from pursuing a life of riches to pursuing a life of purpose. I wrote a new career plan. Can anyone tell me how feasible my goals and timeline are realistically?

I think the first step is clarifying where you want to help and how you can utilize your skills to help move an organization "using business methods to fulfill a social mission" forward. It sounds like right now, you want to get two mentors, start volunteering and discover what type of work/organization is a good fit for you. After you are clear about that, then I think you can take the next steps to connect with the right people and target your efforts. First, get clear, setup the structures to help you succeed, then take more action.

I think that within the contexts of an organization, tenure and title are more important to the (generally) older leadership than they are to young employees. The old hierarchical ideology (and great fallacy) is that title and tenure determine competency. So when you haven't been at an organization long enough to get these two under your belt, it can be hard to build credibility with some.
The two that ARE within my control are "Experience" and "Confidence." If I am not experienced with something, the onus is on me to go out there and create those experience-building opportunities. And confidence is internal to each individual, and is usually a combination of knowledge and experience.

However, I work in a very small office and everyone else who works here has been here for almost 30 years! There are a handful who give me zero respect no matter what I can prove or show. And unfortunately I don't think there is much I can do to change their opinion of me.
My work is very different from theirs (I am the only person in the "marketing dept" and the first "creative" to work at this company) So I think its just a misunderstanding of what I actually do all day.

First conversation question - what do you all do to "Take Ownership" of your career vs. hoping someone else will come along and manage it for you?
