Wow lol I wasnt expecting this to resonate so much with someone! Maybe your 18 month goal can be to find an 18 month goal lol jk!
If I may suggest something, try thinking about companies or products that you respect a lot and have never cringed seeing their work, ever. That's pretty much how I got magic. There are literally hundreds of companies to choose from, but just about every single one I can think of, the way I like drawing doesnt match up with their established style (blizzard, runic games, Riot just to name a few) or I just have trouble appreciating their art direction in general (cough applibot cough).
Or it's possible your goal might not have anything to do with working at a specific place, maybe its just reaching a certain bar of quality (like your favourite artist) or getting into a specific work habit, or being able to live off freelance. It could be anything!
