A shot to become pro one day

Hi guys,
I'm reading many topics in the past but never registered at this forum. At the moment I don't have a job but I have some financial stability so I'm able to take a real shot at this "poker dream".
I know it will take over a year at least and it will be difficult. But I had companies in the past and I sold them and it that period I put a lot of time in those businesses. So I'm sure I have the mental skills and the work ethic to become a pro player.
When I was 18 years old I played a lot of poker and at that time (living at home) it was my main income. I know in the last years that crushing certain limits is more difficult now. But I have faith in myself and I will read many articles but also watch many videos to improve my poker game each day. I'm the kind of guy who give 100% or I won't do it.
At the moment I don't take coaching but in the future I will definitely hire some coaches to improve my game.
I have a $250 bankroll because I don't think starting with $10.000 will help me. If I can't beat the micro limits I don't see a reason why I would start on higher limits.
I will play 6-max on 10NL (25 buy-ins) and I won't play more than 6 tables. I believe I have to play each spot at 100% and with more tables I lose concentration and maybe I'm missing certain value spots.
So my challenge will start in a few minutes when I launch my first 10NL session. I will only play on the regular tables because Zoom is more difficult in my opinion. Because you can't have a read on people and defining 3bet ranges is difficult with only a few hands of course.
So wish me luck
