1- Enjoy the game for what it is, and take your time with it. There is no finish line, so don't speed-run your way to an Anaconda like some of the videos show.
2- Open is not nearly as dangerous or intimidating as some people think. I wish I knew that earlier.
3- The money will come.

iAngitalGreetings fellow Commanders, first week out in the black. Still combing through tutorials and trying to absorb everything at a good pace. How in the world have I missed this game until now? But I’m glad to be here, love the learning curve. Would love to mingle with other pilots and get in more to the community of the system. Shoot me "things i wish i had known," pointers or just a hello on here or in game. Cheers!
o7 Welcome, CMDR!
In addition to what Rotwhylr said:
1-Try different things to see what you like. Use a not-expensive ship to get a feel for things before making investments on a particular ship build or loadout.
2-There are ways to make money no matter what you do: mining, exploration, combat, etc. Find out what you like, explore it, and build up.
3-Check out some of the community tools, like EDSM and Coriolis. These are really great resources that make all our lives easier.

The community here has also been very helpful; Thank you all!
I just started climbing that very steep "Learning Cliff" a couple of weeks ago.
I'm still working on trying to learn avoiding being a "yo-yo" back to my starting location.

Synthya Wylder"7 second rule"?
When approaching your selected location, when time to distance reaches 7 seconds, cut throttle to 75% to avoid loop of shame....I assume

When ya get good at it, you can cut sensible-seven down to the sexy-six.

Very true, that why I have on occasion got away with the "Fearless Five-Second Rule" approaching a station or POI the not orbiting an astral body

God dang! On that stuff I stick to the "F-ed up Fourteen-Second Rule" and I still overshoot my mark.

Lately been speeding up once my lower left speed indicator enters the blue zone. I throttle up to just one tap outside of blue.
I’m easily amused
