Been playing the keys since I was 8. If you want to get good, you're gonna have to put to the work in. Fortunately I was luck to be young when I started because I didn't have any responsibilities. When you're older, alot of your time is spent working and not practicing. As long as you set aside a few hours per week and seek out a teacher to help you, you should be fine. Unfortunately for me, I don't have long fingers to glide across the keys, so I got good at playing fast tempos. Just remember that you're gonna have days when you can't seem to get anything right and your fingers don't respond the way you want them to. It's all about muscle memory. Once you get into the groove of playing regularly, than you wont wanna stop. Just learn to get through the rough times playing and you'll be fine. Persistence pays off. Hope that helps.
