Dare to dream. Have a clear image of what you want to achieve, and then never lose sight of it. No matter how badly you want to switch from selling furniture to sculpting marble, you must have some innate ability to sculpt. Sheer will power alone can't turn you into an artiste. No matter how great your dreams, no matter how careful you calculate your action plan, unless you have the ability to hang on through the tough times, you'll be hard pressed to find success.
Nobody says it's going to be easy.
That's all you need. You can change the characters and scenes, and even rewrite the ending.
