To pooosh or not to pooosh

I'm curious what kind of advice veteran track day and racers would give a relative newb on skill development and when to start pushing limits with braking and throttle and steering.

My approach has been concentrating on being smooth with all inputs and familiarizing with track layout before pushing the limits of tire adheasion. Rather, slowly working up to pace. But... That's been the problem, progression for me has been slow if not nonexistent. Now, before you say 'hire a coach' I'd like to hear what you have to say about order of progression and what to concentrate on with each level of driving skill set development. And when should a newb begin to 'pooosh poooosh' without hurting skill development.

Also I think the 'don't worry about lap times' advice is bull. There is no way for me not to worry about lap times. Just not possible.
