I have tried tutorials and they sometimes work, but usually it takes more time than I would expect.
but sometimes it is hard to relate the concept to my specific goals or situation.
For most of my friends I recommend getting a mentor and combine it with whatever resources my mentor suggests, when they are interested, I tried to be that for them.
I can totally see where a mentor would be a boon, at this point in my efforts I haven't pursued that yet though. I will definitely keep the suggestion in mind for the near future!
I think mostly momentum and distractions. I've wanted to do this for a long time, years, I always run into something that takes me off course. I start up, I stop. I've gone the free route mostly so far which sometimes isn't viewed with as much 'value' as something I pay for, which is why i'm considering paying for something, hoping that will be an extra motivator. I've got some other motivations as well that I think will help this time around. ;)

Hi Jamie,

Thanks!
I forgot to mention it, but I am self-taught too. What has been your biggest struggle so far?

How long have you been studying this way?
too long! Probably a few years at least. Off then on then off again.
