If there is one thing I wish I had known about early on was lip slurs. I knew that sometimes you ahd to go from Bb to F (and others) just with your lips, but that was all I knew. No one ever told me that should be a warm-up or practice routine. I think my flexibility is nowhere near on par with my tone (of course, I'm in Rick's shoes, technique eludes me). The issue I struggle with is air support on attacks and while tonguing, and such problems seem to get better as I begin to do lip slurs more often.
