Your first day on the job

Hey everyone.  I'm getting my license around the end of May/beginning of June.  As that day draws closer though, I've been getting more and more nervous.  No matter what I read or articles I find, I feel like I still can't find the right place to start.  I was thinking I would go door knocking in one of my target neighborhoods with business cards and literature.  Do you think this is a good first move?  What did you do on your first day to get the ball rolling?

Roughly 85% of buyers and sellers work with the first or second agent they meet. The most impactful thing you can do, especially right out of the gate, is focus on pure volume of conversations. I'd recommend 250 contacts a week when you are starting if you want a high level of success.
