How I did it (starting January 2008): - Drove from Atlanta to Long Beach with dog in back seat. - Rented room in Long Beach for three months (found on craigslist). - Found it wasn't working with Long Beach co-founder. - Drove to San Jose and stayed with friend for three months. - Realized startup wasn't working. Got job. Got apartment. - Still in San Jose needing to jumpstart a startup. I find it amusing when people go through the "self discovery" phase of seeing how they "feel" about everything. I prefer the more direct approach of "move there and figure it out as you go along."
