I don't like to call myself a successful trader because it makes me complacent and obstruct the continuous learning of trading.
But nonetheless I've recovered from a 50% draw down and am finally back in the green after 4 years. You can check out my full story here.
The biggest take away I had from it is this, find someone who is trading successfully and model him/her.
For me it was adopting the trend following approach since I have read about market wizards who are successful with it and, seen track records of hedge funds who are using this trading approach.
There are many ways to trade the market and you have to find something that works for you, for me it was trend following.
