You need to put the work in. It's not going to be an easy or a short journey. Nothing in life worth talking about ever is. I can help you with almost every facet of machine learning and data analysis but I can't force you to learn the material. Machine learning isn't hard but the information you need to excel is voluminous. You need to know a ton of shit before you'll be build production models. Break your journey into segments. Stay focused. This isn't a race it's an ultramarathon. Write shit down and study that shit.

This course is entirely free. It will help you understand the basics of Python and it's targeted at those starting out in applied machine learning.
