Becoming a self-taught pro - is it even possible??

Thank you for the answer. That's really motivating and encouraging when you say that it's all just hard work and not magic. And to do this, I know I'll have to quit my full-time job and live in my parents' attic for a while.. I could handle that.. But I'm afraid that I'll fail. Cause sometimes, I just feel like I don't really have "it", you know? What if I don't make it, and end up being old, jobless + homeless? Some scarry thoughts :/
Anyways, your words brought me some hope that this is still achievable, so ty.
