My advice: Study hard. Try not to make mistakes, but expect to make them and learn from your mistakes.
Chair fly a lot. Sit down and go through a flight from startup, taxi, takeoff, pattern, landing, after landing, parking and shutdown and do the motions - so it's recall training in the actual plane when you're spending your pennies.
Don't let the plane arrive anywhere your brain didn't arrive to 5 minutes earlier.
It's not easy learning to fly and all the book knowledge that comes with it, but that's why it's satisfying as well. Good luck and have fun!
