This is the same question I ask every pro at every workshop I attend - "what is the biggest thing you wish you would have known when you first started out?"
I've never received an "aha!" type of answer. Of course the answer is different for everyone, depending on their musical goals and experience.
For me it's how important it is to spend time playing music with other people. No amount of woodshedding, self-study, books/DVD's, etc. can replace the live musical interaction with other players.
