Nice to see that you worked your way up. There are other trader wannabes that's want a shortcut to success therefore they didn't help themselves and just rely on luck and others saying. And the result at most the cases? Fail.
Anyone can become a good trader as long as they will be serious on achieving on it. Whether reading books, reading guides, reading articles, getting an assistance from a professional trader etc. people can become like that at any means. What matter here is, while doing an actual trades, make sure that losing experience will be charged as reference in order to make a good future strategy.
While building trading experienced, people will be used on any difficulties they will encounter along the way.
