what's the next step

[Choda Boy]

i have been playing hold'em for about 6-7 months now.
i was clueless at first then started reading 2+2 books & others.
now i am pretty much break even.
what is the next step to becoming better than average.
more reading & rereading? table experience?
i am at a stand still & cannot seem to get over this hump.
any help would be much appreciated.
