Learn yourself before you try to learn anything else about this business.  Find your strengths and learn how to use them for your own monetary gain.  Learn what you don't like and how to avoid it, and be specific in your goals.
Dreaming is good.  Achievement is better.  Don't let yourself be drawn into the herd of thousands of bleating sheep who allow their futures to be decided by the whim of a sponsor.  Be the shepherd.  Go where you want to go and do it by means of doing something that you love to do, whether it be design, writing, photos, video, galleries, pimping, whatever.
Know thyself.  
 
Congrats on your 10k Sarah!!
