First, it's great to have you with us at IPIU. I started back in August and just reached level 4. It will not take you long, either!
It's great that you are so enthusiastic, and you can rest assured that you are among many who are willing to help you.
I know that everyone says to have patience and to read, and that it is difficult to contain the excitement as you embark on a rewarding career.
Here are some suggestions I hope will help you and others reading this topic:
1. Remember, you will find
most of your answers in the forums. Browse through all the forums you have access to. Sometimes the answers are in posts you may not expect.
Thousands have already had the same feelings and questions you have now, and you can take advantage of reading their posts, knowing many of us have felt this way.
2. Savor each step - don't be so anxious (I know it's hard), because you have
earned progressing to the next level. It will happen anyway, if you are serious, so let yourself boast a while and you'll soon be on your way! Pat yourself on the back! Smile and know you are doing something great for yourself! Enjoy and relish in your accomplishment before you rush to the next one. Next thing you know, you won't be anxious, and ideas will come to you on how to pass the time!
3. Try surfing the internet to find topics that will help you in the fields you are interested in. There's alot of information everywhere, in the forums, and the web. Read some laws, case studies, check out some private investigator's web sites, PI equipment, etc. You'll pick up tips that will help you later.
4. Using the "search" button is great advice, (thank's Sunya!). Try different types of wording to see how effective and close to the mark you come to find your answers!
When you look back a couple of years from now, I hope you will find your memories of this time a joyful and rewarding one!
Regards and best of luck to you,
