Listening to others won't help you as much as you think in particular because many people exaggerate, not understand, lie, or misunderstand.
You'll feel better making your own progress than listening to that of others, because if you haven't done any, all their words will be in vain anyway, and you will understand them through your own lack of awareness, create wrong expectations, and this only creates more problems.
Everyone is different so there is no magic elixir in how much time it takes. It takes however much is necessary for the soul doing it. This is not a moto GP race where you have to finish first, one is only walking with themselves there.
