Okay, not to sound a like a complete smart a*s, what does it take, seriously, to become a great player? I have no idea. Admittedly, I am becoming a bit frustrated here. It's been 18 months and although I see some areas of improvement, I see more areas of lagging behind in my progress.

Feels like I am unable to focus as I should on practice and training. Almost like I need someone to outline a practice schedule for me that I can actually follow. Ideas?
