These are in no order.
- Start small. Build many small things fast.
- Pick a framework that you like - my two recommended are either Laravel (php) or Django (Python). If you wanted to build something in C++ then I would recommend Qt Framework
- Depending how you learn, you can easily find documentation, YouTube videos, courses etc on nearly every single language.
- Go to meet ups - depending where you live you might have a meet up for web development, or a meet up for a particular language you are trying to master. Talking to people could help solve issues that you are experiencing
- Persistence - it took me years to get where I am now. Even then I am not quiet there yet and still have a lot more to learn myself. I have to persistently teach myself new things to get ahead of the job market
