You also listen to Cortex, right? Here's the most important thing they are actually talking about: develop a system. Maybe even jot down a flowchart of the kinds of pictures you will get and the steps between shot and result. Lightroom is totally a key part of that, but it is just a tool in your system. Think about the system, maybe try it out on a wedding or party, refine, repeat. :)
Cortex is the bomb. I for sure will need to figure out some kind of system - my brain is absolutely useless when it comes to remembering things or multitasking. Just this morning i went to show an apartment to a person, and forgot the keys to the building... That's what makes me the worst ever office worker. Maybe photography's going to be more forgiving :) Or maybe i'll finally get my shit together and write lists of everything I need to do.
