Quick! I bought an airplane! Tell me everything I need to know about being a pilot - I'm flying myself to Australia this year! ;)
In all seriousness, here's everything you need to do to be successful (from Kevin McCurley's book, The Complete Ball Python):
Be Educated
Be Observant
Be Proactive
Be Reasonable
Be Open to Advice!
Be a problem solver - don't be afraid to think!
Research, research, research! There are books an an internet full of good information, but watch out for "self-appointed experts" in on-line forums.
Join a herpetological society in your area.
Visit reptile expos and specialty shops and talk to established breeders.
Enjoy your animals!
Best regards,
Eric

Everything stated above in addition you might try finding your closest breeder and asking them to be your mentor. It helps a lot, believe me. Personally I prefer YouTube videos over reading because of things like you get a better idea of what an ovulation looks like and different methods of breeding

Be prepared to spend way more money than you will make in the first few attempts.

In short yes, that would give you spiders, pastels, normals and the crown jewel bumble bees, which are awesome snakes. The only potential issue is some people, not many mind you, avoid anything spider because of the potential for the head wobble. I just had my first clutch ever hatch all 8 eggs healthy. Snakebytes TV was a great resource on YouTube as well as all the people here. Just be open to advice and be willing to listen.
