There are a number of people writing and recording tutorials and screencast series on using Laravel. Here are a few that will help you improve your game:
nettuts provides a number of Laravel tutorials in both their free and paid sections. They're well-known for the quality of their presentations (http://net.tutsplus.com/tag/laravel/).
Laravel: Ins and Outs is a study group that has recently been started by the Laravel community containing valuable information that can't be found anywhere else. Join us at http://laravel.io and follow us at http://twitter.com/laravelio.
Jason Lewis, the author of Feather Forums and a long-time contributor to Laravel has created a good series of Laravel tutorials that includes a how-to guide for contributing to a GitHub project (http://jasonlewis.me/blog/laravel-tutorials).
Matthew Machuga, a well-respected multi-disciplined developer, has some one-of-a-kind Laravel screencasts, which highlight test-driven development with Laravel (http://matthewmachuga.com/screencasts).
Dayle Rees has released a popular set of tutorials that cover many of Laravel's basics (http://daylerees.com/category/laravel-tutorials/).
And finally, my own screencast series contains walkthroughs of Laravel's folder structure, explanations of security best-practices, and information about modeling forms (http://heybigname.com/2012/03/12/a-walk-through-laravel-folder-structure/).
Laravel has a fantastic community. Professional developers with years of experience contribute to the forums and offer their time to help others in the IRC channel. They're both great places to build familiarity with Laravel and great places to go to if you get stuck.
An important part of being a software development professional is exposing yourself to as many good solutions to as many problems as possible. The only way that this can be reasonably accomplished is by joining a community. By regularly reading forums and participating in an IRC channel, you'll be exposed to many new ideas than you could think of on your own.
