It does not hurt to start looking at the step imo, but I would talk to your sponsor and let them know you feel you are ready to move on.

BTW there is nothing wrong with changing sponsors if you are not getting what you need from the one you have now. I switched sponsors at the 3 month point because I wanted to work the steps quicker, I had 3 months and had the same sponsor the whole time and had not finished step 1. In defence of my first sponsor he traveled a lot in his job and just did not have the time to work with me. He was fine with me switching, he told me he understood and wished he had more time to spend with me.
