as you know from chess you can't become a grandmaster (or even a master) by just working hard. even with the best coaches in the world. you have to have the right mind for the task.
becoming a winning mid limit player is not that tough, you can learn most of the important skills from a book. to move up you have to take your game to the next level and almost everyone with those skills keep quiet. to move up you have to teach yourself to play well. those who can do this will be the ones to succeed.
