True! According to a survey I read of many moons ago it take about 10,000 hours to become world class at something. Playing the piano, soccer, tennis, cricket, anything that requires skill takes time to perfect.

And you always have to do before you gain competence and confidence comes after the attainment of competence. That means you have to start doing with zero confidence. Bit of a downer but if you know that, at least you can say, “OK. I am going to make a start. I will fail a great many times before I gain competence and confidence but I will never attain them if I refuse to start doing because I lack confidence!”

The ability to confront failing is a necessary prerequisite to success!
