"Tell everyone you know that you're looking for a new job. As word moves throughout your network of colleagues, friends, and relatives, chances are you will be presented with a number of opportunities".

The first one most likely being the opportunity to walk out the front door of your current gig and never needing to return because the word got to the boss man also.
 
Well, if you want a better job the best way to start is to quit or get fired. You can't get to second base with one foot on first.
 
Being afraid to fail is huge in holding people back.

I would think looking for a new job is best done while you still have one...
 
I had a neighbor growing up, a Vietnam vet that became a engineer at Ford. Bruce was a very smart guy. He told me to always have a plan, and then have a backup plan. He was always showing me one arm pushups and was fit as could be. One day I was talking to my Dad, and he asked me if Bruce ever told me what he did in Vietnam. Of course not, I was a kid. He was a tunnel rat. The plan talk took an entirely different meaning from that point on.

I found that a plan will bind you up and hold you back. Like when your tire drops into a groove ........

I myself waited for the door of opportunity to open ........ and then took advantage of what I found on the other side. It takes a sense of adventure and a willingness to learn something new .......... Worked, (still works), well for me.
