Here are two ways to find more opportunities. 1) is to get out and DO!, which exposes you to more opportunities.

2) is to get better at spotting them when they're around.

The only way I can think of to achieve 2, personally, is practise. How do you practise? Well, you do 1), and expose yourself to as many opportunities as possible, and see how many you notice in time, and when you notice one too late you think about how you could have noticed it quicker.
