"Having it or not having it" is completely divorced from having a successful career in art. I suppose what having a successful career means is subjective, but realistically, if you don't have art school pedigree, then you're not very likely to have a path that involves gallery representation, etc... I agree with what you're saying though, most people who want to "make it in art" have to find their own path which is ultimately entrepreneurship, but there's not really an answer to "what works", is there?
