As usual, Bapple gives some very good advice. Here's my 2 cents:
1) get additional training beyond CCW license requirements. Knowing how to shoot a pistol is not the same as knowing how to fight with a pistol
2) Always carry everywhere you legally can. You never know when the situation will come up that you will need it. It is a lifestyle. Do you only carry a spare tire in your car when you think you will have a flat?
3)Learn situational awareness. Learn to observe everything around you so you have a better chance to avoid a bad situation.
4)Understand that there are some very evil people in this world who will think nothing about taking your life or your family's life - hence why we carry
5) Understand that you are not the police and do not have a moral obligation to act as one. Your weapon is only licensed to protect yourself, or persons in your immediate group from serious harm or death. You are not James Bond - you do not have a license to kill.
6) mentioned several times - by all means get a lawyer ahead of time. Also think about getting insurance.
7) do not be apprehensive about carrying because "everyone will know you carry". I have carried for about 12 years now and have never been "busted" or at least no one has ever mentioned it.
8) Decide how you are going to carry before you decide what pistol you want to carry. IWB, OWB, Pocket carry, purse carry, etc. that will largely guide what type of weapon you choose.
9) If you haven't already , join the NRA. They are the main group that fights for our 2nd amendment freedom and largely responsible for the right to carry in most of the U.S.
10) concealed carry is for both sexes - men and women.
Those are just a few of my initial thoughts.
