And….the success a year later (still in progress) was the result of listening to the frustration you were experiencing trying to figure out how to manage networking. An accident.

It should teach us to be open to what we are feeling, determining if we can make that feeling better for others, and be willing to run down a rabbit trail to see if it turns into a great superhighway in our lives.

More work to do, as always, Jason. But think about how far all this has come in a year.

Nice going.

Jason – You’ve accomplished a lot in 1 year. Thanks for sharing your story. And, it looks like you’ve really picked up steam going into your second year! Sooo glad I found you.

It’s scary, though, to think unemployment is a “natural thing.” It’s something I never, ever thought I would experience. When I did – woah! I think your advice in building a solid and well-integrated (community, industry, electronic etc.) network is the only way to keep that fear at bay.

Hey Jason; I’m late to the party–I only learned about you last month from our mutual friend Kirsten Dixson, but am eager to get to know you and your solutions better. I try and follow your blog every day and I’m suggesting you to my executive clients. Keep up the great work! I look forward to meeting you at the Career Masters Institute Conference in April!
