I see some of the pros boasting that they are self trained. Others claim that professional coaching deserves credit for their success. So it appears that you can make it either way. I don’t know if I should keep training myself or hire a professional coach. What do you think is better? Are you self trained or coached?

I was self trained for a long time and achieved significant success. However once I hired a highly skilled coach he pointed out my weaknesses and suggested the fastest way to get rid of them. He saved me months and maybe years of frustration and futile efforts. So I would advise you to consult a professional coach at least.
