I have an avocado tree, about 18 months old that I'd like to keep as a bonsai. I have made some amateur attempt at shaping it, but I really don't have a long term vision of what it could or should become. I'm looking for some advise on how to approach it. Thank you!

For now: Big pot, let grow wild. A tree with that big leafs needs to grow really thick to get it into proportion as a bonsai. Cut back hard every 2-4 years to a new leader.
