Searching for a new position, especially if you are between gigs, can be filled with many distractions. The day-to-day things can turn into worries that seem to loom large when you don’t have a job or job you enjoy.
Life does not stop if you are between jobs — unless you stop it. You can live, work and create an amazing life you love or you can be down and miserable. The choice is yours.

Each week tackle the assignment and then post a note and share your thoughts in the comments. Tell us how you implemented the action of the week and the results you achieved.
Action #1: Meet More People
People are amazing, interesting and fun. Expand the network of people you know. Not only will your life will be fuller, but meeting more people means more opportunities.
Meeting people is not only about discovering what others can do for you (or what you can do for others), it is about connecting, learning, and sharing. Be interested and curious about others.
Yes, I am outgoing and love to meet new people. If you aren’t outgoing, I get it, this will take some effort. Step out of you comfort zone and toward a person. Say “Hi,” share your name and smile, then simply listen.
If this makes you uncomfortable, believe it or not more people feel like you than me. Many people are hoping someone else will start the conversation. If you take the leap and start the conversation, you’ll be making everyone more comfortable — making the situation easier for all involved, including you. Meeting people is a skill and skills take practice to hone. Get out there and practice!
