IMO the first thing to do to become a non-sheep is to get rid of any and all debt. Then refuse to get back into any kind of debt if at all possible. That gets you out of the "living-check-to-check" wage slavery bit.
Once you're not a wage slave, you can build up a reserve. The bigger your reserve, the less dependant you are on your job. And that's pretty important, I'd say.
