I tried taking off on my second day. I practiced taxiing up and down the runway a lot on my first day. I also practiced just driving around on the strip when everyone was gone, making lots of  turns (kind of like skiing) to get used to the orientation and learn how the plane handles at different speeds.

Remember there is no rush. Do things as you are ready. It is your hobby and there will be years of flying to come, so do not hurry yourself into things just because you think you are supposed to.

Also, use your rudder to turn when taxiing and to make corrections as the plane is lifting off. Use ailerons to keep the plane level. If the plane starts to veer to the side after it leaves the ground, you don't want to bank hard with the ailerons to correct it, just use some rudder.

Practice using your rudder on your sim. Most people wait WAY too long to start using it, if ever! It is part of the control system of the airplane, so use it.

Whatever you do when taking off, do it gently. We have a tendency to over correct things when we are starting out and there is much less time to recover when the plane is only a few feet from the ground.
