If you can, find a great private instructor to go over those things with you directly. He/She will be able to correct what you are doing specifically and guide you through your practicing to get the most out of that too.

I am a comeback guy and I can not tell you how valuable that is in the long run. I have been getting mine since March. The progress this year is amazing to me.

Yup, a good teacher will work wonders. Make sure you get a good one.
I had to reset my embouchure when I got a solid teacher, mine was pretty messed up and the first teacher didn't take the time (or have the knowledge) to set me straight, so I struggled. Once that was worked out, I was good to go and had a lot more fun playing.
Basic advice I think most, if not all here, would agree with is to avoid "resetting" the mouthpiece as you play. Set it and forget it. But get a good teacher to tell you that.

there is no substitute for regular practice, get a good digital recorder and listen to how you sould too plus all the other folks said

the best tip is to get used to good old fashioned hard work. All of the players looking for a short cut are wasting their time and valuable space on the internet!

Success is measured in months and years. Never forget that.
