The point of the article is that if you believe the above statement, you're likely mistaken about your level of commitment.
Lack of knowledge is no obstacle for the truly committed, especially today. "I don't know what to do" is an excuse. Waiting for me to write the how-to part is an excuse as well. A committed person wouldn't wait for me or anyone else to write anything -- s/he would actively be seeking out the necessary info elsewhere and acting upon it, even in the face of ambiguity and uncertainty.
The to-do steps for any career are easy enough to discover. Go to any library or bookstore and look them up. You also have access to the entire Internet, the world's information at your fingertips. Whatever you want to create or build, odds are there's an abundance of how-to info available.
If you're waiting -- for anything -- you're delaying.
