Whatever it is you want to do take a job in that field. You will learn by experience and slow and steady you'll get it done!
You shouldn't be afraid of failure - when something fails you think 'What did I learn from that experience? I can do better next time.' Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don't get disappointed.
