I know this may sound crazy.
Run starter fits for a few days and carry they one piece of equipment you want to get better at, it will improve your game and let you focus on the thing you want to do better and allow you to make ISK.
I use a advanced everything except equipment and bpo weapons, I turn a profit.
I stopped using proto mods because most times the prototype aren't worth the ISK, especially if they are defensive mods.
Find a squad you like and and roll with them, use coms.
Although the Core Flux seems like a great tool, because it is, I find the range too short and I would much rather carry a dual beam tool with more range. The Lia Dia only does like 75 HP/s but can rep at like 30+ meters, it saves a lot of time out of cover but still allows you to give out decent reps.
Have different suits that cost different amounts. Use cheaper fits and if the match progresses in a way in which you are making ISK then use a better suit or a suit that is better equipped.
Label your suits with the cost so it is easier to keep up with how much you spend and before you go negative run a modified starter to help stay in black ink.
More than anything else, find what you like or are best at -one thing- and specialize in that one thing. I like reps and tools are about the only thing I carry proto and all my rep builds are focused around my repper. You should have one focus per suit and the suit should be fitted around that focus.
Find a friend with a needle. A good tandem pair of logi can do way more than a solo can. With a pair you can have the dual beam locked on him while he needles someone and as soon as they get up you are repping them.
It takes a lot of little things to be profitable and sometimes you will not be profitable. If you are focused on profit your loging will suffer some and if you focus on logi stuff then your wallet will suffer. I have days where I want to make ISK just to see the number get bigger, nothing more and I use starter fits or really inexpensive fits. My profit days are some of the most fun I have because my suits cost nothing at all and I actually do better because I am relaxed. A starter fit with one good piece of equipment on it can be very fun and very profitable.
