Secondly, a high level concept like purpose may not be encoded in your DNA, but everyone does have certain memories, skills, talents and "direction" encoded in there which will consciously or subconsciously provide guidance. On the other hand, this doesn't mean that anyone is stuck with what they've been handed down, so don't rush out to get your genome decoded to see which diseases you will get.
Your genetics only provides a certain capacity as a default. You may choose to use this capacity or ignore it.
When you go with a company, you are using their vision possibly because you don't have one of your own. IOW, you opt to live within someone else's version of reality. See if you can talk to some of these business starters or read their autobiographies, and figure out how they got their vision. I personally found that their vision most commonly comes from either an intense level of interest/curiosity in a subject or a personal problem they could not get resolved any other way. These two things are the biggest purpose providers.
