I understand where your coming from with this question, as I often wondered this question in the past. But.. The reality is that it all comes down to you. I do understand that seeing examples of people can sometimes be a good motivator, but in reality each person is going to be different.
It comes down to whether your willing to put in the blood and sweat. It's aiming for a predetermined goal and achieving it. In a sense, people choose how long it takes them to get to $x.xx a year. - How hard are you willing to work?

I can't answer this, as I made the mistake of jumping into IM with both feet / full time. My advice to this would be schedule EVERYTHING and work in 1.5 to 2 hour blocks of time.
When I first started I was a mess. I had no schedule/organization skills. One of the hardest parts for me has been procrastination. Going from being told what to do at a job to essentially telling yourself what to do...a lot of people have a problem with this when they first start out.
I break down my projects into junks with deadlines. I go over a monthly calender and break down each task into weekly & daily assignments. I started doing this 3 months ago..most productive 90 days of my life.
