How can I incorporate reading and taking action, without handicapping myself so to speak?
I think you're over-thinking it.
The "just take action!" trope started I think because lot's of people are in the habit of reading and educating themselves, and never taking any action. I see that on this forum every single day. I'm guilty of it myself...A LOT.
But I don't think the "just take action!" should be taken as "just do something! just do anything!"
It should be taken as "you probably have enough knowledge to start, so start. Apply the knowledge you already have. Then, when you hit a problem, educate yourself on how to fix that problem and then fix it. Repeat until wealthy"
See why it got shortened to "just take action!"?
You only hurt your chances of succeeding when you read and educate yourself, but never make the choice to apply that knowledge.
