No one can build your strategy for you-- you'll want one suited for you, and no one knows you better than yourself. Although I am sure certain folks can help: Life Coaches, Counselors, Psychologists, etc.
Find resources on:
- Skills that BOTH interest you, and are economically in demand
- Geographical areas where those skills have a competitive advantage and are in demand

I am an web app developer. No tech degree.
How? Built my skills. And strategically: I am creative, interested in business & entrepreneurship, interested in freedom, technology, and building things. And, I want to make good income so I can support a community where I help people grow.
Looking at those desires... it fits well with a Web App Developer career.
Likewise, you need to determine:
A. What do you want ("Goal". Not having a goal is like having a map without a destination: Going nowhere)
B. What you're willing to get what you want ("How badly do you _want_ to reach your goal? Do you really _want_ it? Again-- how badly? Are you willing to take 6 months off from work to grow your own skillset, full time, via project-based work, in order to leapfrog yourself into a new career?)
Just some ideas. It's not tough. Just ask a search engine the right questions. And know yourself.
Go through trials, tribulations, challenges-- One doesn't get to know their self by living an easy, meandering life. We get to know our self and what we're capable of by going through significant challenges-- By testing ourselves.
