Wow! That's a lot of reading. I am glad to hear you found some things to store away for a rainy day, but hopefully a lot of things that you can start doing now. I can't stress how important this community has been for my growth. Way too many people to acknowledge.
I'd recommend reading Joseph9's journey and Benito's journey. Benito's threads were archived, but he still has a thread kicking around that you can find.
This community is amazing. You will hear things here that feel counter intuitive, but know that advice is not given lightly and I have benefited from everyone commenting on my threads, even if I disagreed with them. Gave me lots to think about.
