Best advice for STR newbie?

My goal for 2020 is to start my first STR. I've acquired a property and hope to go live with my listing in February.

What is one piece of advice or encouragement you wish you would have been given before you got started with your first STR? Would love to consider these ideas as I'm putting together my business plan.

Sidenote:  I watched AirBNB Hell on Amazon Prime this week. That was a bad idea as now I'm second-guessing this decision.
