You will find many articles that leave you saying "well, I don't really like that at all. I'm certainly not going to do it THAT way" and you'll find others that leave you thinking "wow....I never really thought of that. I like THAT way."

Also, interact with your faculty who do have private practices on the side. Ask them what mistakes they made. Ask them what they wish they did differntly. Ask them what they would suggest you do and why.

And again....do it not to find "the secret" but to get ideas and opinions so you can start to form your own.
