[recommendations] I want to become a full time artist but where do I start?

my dream is to be a full time artist but idk where to start - i haven't really got a style or something i specialise in is that something i should work on figuring out before moving onto a business side of things? should i make a collection first to launch my self? should i focus on just starting a website or portfolio? i definitely don't have the resources and time to make it a full time thing yet but i want to start giving it a bit more of a focus. should i just do more workshops and stuff idk I'm really lost with what to do and where to start and i feel like because of that I've just been pushing it aside. so any advice or recommendations or just anything really would be super helpful. thank you!!

edit - i maybe should've added a little more context... i occasionally do pet drawing commissions and have sold a few and been in a few pastt local exhibitions and do love drawing realism and more traditional style but is it possible to specislise in painting and drawing. and while i'm not obviously not perfect and always think there's things to learn and improve i do think im pretty good. i do have a social media although very small (my drawings can take some time to finish so i don't post very often and its a little hard to manage between work and uni but i do what i can) - i tried to add an image also to maybe give people a better idea of my skill level but wasn't able to add an image...

I've tried finding pictures of the cover but i haven't yet but around 10-15 years ago when i was younger there were these unicorn books i always loved at the local library but I've never been able to find them outside of that and eventually they weren't at the library either. I can't remeber the title or author but they had beautiful detailed covers of unicorn and Pegasus and like each book was about a different story with a different mystical horse. idk if this help but there were also these field mice with almost horse tails with beads in them. and at the back of the book was a website that was like a gamified version of the books. please let me know if you know of anything or maybe something that might lead me on the right track!
