Cram in all the theory you can,
practice 10 hours a day for 25 years. Learn ALL SCALES and ALL CHORDS from
ALL GENRES.

As an example:

A very good friend of mine was an amateur musician until about the age of 20 
or 21.  At that time, he decided to really devote his life to being a 
professional musician.  he began practicing 8 to 10 hours a day.

I did not know this and after not hearing him play for several years, the 
next time I heard him, I was stunned by how good he had gotten.  he is now 
one of the top OKOM players on the NY scene.  I never would have believed 
it.
