Welcome aboard!
Watch the videos.
Watch the videos again and follow along. (A second screen or playing the video on a tablet is helpful.)
Share your failures as well as progress. That is how we all learn.

Congrats and welcome.
+1 on watching the videos. And watching them again.
Also, just creeping on this forum daily is a tremendous education. I read almost all the posts, even the ones I don’t think I’m interested in. It’s amazing how much I’ve learned “accidentally” in that process. There’s a huge amount of knowledge and helpfulness here.
Good luck!
Thx, rink.

I want to be unique like everyone else.

Yes, the Vectric offerings of programs is awesome. There's something new to learn, about it, every day. But it's a very pleasant learning experience.
Blessings,

Re: newbie here
Watch ALL the videos, even the 'Beginner' ones. You don't realize how much handy stuff you missed or forgot. When answering a question, sometimes I'll re-watch a video as a refresher. Lots of new stuff is always added.

Welcome
Good advice from everyone, I would just add don't cherry pick what you would like to learn next, start at the begining & work your way through, getting a good grounding with the basics will help when you get to the more advanced stuff, takes a bit of time but worth the effort for me A lot of the tutorials come with files you can download & then work alongside the video. Don't be afraid to ask questions, plenty of people on here will help you.
Learn to trust the toolpath preview, it will save you a lot of wasted time & material
Don't be afraid to experiment but make sure what you are doing is safe, these machines can be dangerous.
ABOVE ALL HAVE FUN
