There aren't many "advanced" textbooks. When shorthand was used, the advanced level was court reporting. So here are some other ideas you can use (as well as the above idea).
Give yourself a speed goal using other materials you have.
Work on your shorthand vocabulary.
Take dictation from unknown sources and transcribe.

Study, Grammar, Punctuation, Spelling, etc. There's a board here, but you may need additional help. In order to write quickly with shorthand, you need to know at least words and what they mean. If you understand grammar you will grasp what the speaker is saying easily which will allow you to write the correct outlines. Knowing all that will help you transcribe your shorthand notes (even if they're just for yourself). In the board linked above, there's a separate thread for References. Add this to your study of advanced shorthand and you will become an expert shorthand writer.

Unless you have a specific field you want to write in shorthand, you will want to know a little about everything. Just the basics. You may forget it, but when it comes up, you will remember.
If you are learning for taking notes in church or a specific job, then you can focus on that. Learn all you can and practice writing shorthand in all of that.
If you are using shorthand for an everyday thing or just to take notes as needed, you can learn a little about everything or a lot of things. Watch the news and take notes. Watch some TV show and take notes. Read some blogs and newsfeeds. I think there are some apps that will "speak" out the current events or news of the day and you can write those down.
This will improve your shorthand vocabulary by leaps and bounds.

Give yourself some motivation to learn specific shorthand outlines.
If you don't have a specific field (or topic) you want to study, just choose something you're interested in. Maybe it's a hobby or maybe it's a event you're going to that you will take shorthand (such as some lectures or training).
If you find yourself writing notes for something over and over, learn more about that topic and learn more shorthand outlines.
