There is no precise recipe, actually. You will find your own way.. For me a turning point was the moment I start interact with a team. Developing things together with others forced my brain to think how to make things clear not only to myself.. also, discussions with coworkers make you open mind to receive critics, to learn new strategies. Look at agile development process .. A lot of people criticize it, but the merit of it is that people are pushed to talk to each other and to share responsibilities. I would only consider someone a developer If he/she knows to play within a team. May the force be with you. ;)
