It seems like you've taken a lot of the steps to educate yourself and you're ready to take action.

The ability to take action can be both brave and foolish. 

I have been reading books and listening to podcasts for almost a year now and I know I need to take action. 

And this brings to mind @Collin Hays post recently on firing dynamic pricing:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1227948-i-fi...Timely and thoughtful, I'm still reflecting on it as there are actionable implications there.VRBO might not understand now.
