How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: Checked the job postings every single day! Sometimes I was tired after work or are frustrated, but I still checked every day. I probably applied for over 100 jobs and interviewed for at least 20. It was pretty frustrating never getting the job, but I finally got a good one. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I took a 3 day MSF course, and course completion came with a motorcycle certification on my license. It was great, because you get a bunch of coaching, as well as a loner bike and helmet. A bit spendy (my course was $275), but I didn't know anyone else who rode.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I feel like I need a couple great things going on in my life before I call people. It feels strange to say you aren’t up to anything special and life is just in a holding pattern. So you don’t talk for months, then you need a good reason that you haven’t talked! Maybe I just need to have a call/e-mail schedule. I think I need to learn to embrace the 7 minute phone call.
