Step 1: Be the change you seek in the world
Start with your passion, goals and desire to help others. Find businesses, teams and partners who align with your values. Do not compromise your values for a few more percentage points in return.
Great starting point to find your vision:
Be grateful for what you have. TED TALK
Believe God owns the business He has given you to steward
Give at least 10% of your company profits to those in need
Consider sustainable business ministries instead of handouts that create dependency
Collaborate with others who align with your values

Step 2: Education
The single most important step to any type of freedom is to surround yourself with people who are already living the life you want to live. So get out there and make meaningful connections and read books from industry leaders!
