2¢

Shoot all the time. Shoot whenever and whatever you can. Now I'm not saying shoot in every style. Shoot in your own style, have your own voice, but shoot all the time. You'd be surprised at how much you can grow in a very short time. I set up test shoots for myself all the time just to keep myself sharp and active.
