fATPL Modular self improver???

Hello all,

right here goes, I am seriously considering trying to start a career as a commercial pilot. I know for a fact this is what I want to do. However I have a problem. It seems that everyone I ask gives me a different answer . Now. I am keen to start by doing my ppl as it seems that is how everyone begins. that is not too much of a problem. however what I need to know is how do you become a commercial pilot? If someone could explain it to me stage by stage so I can at least do some research without feeling overwashed by 101 different opinions. I have considered applying for sponsorship (or even for the CTC McAlpine scheme) however I lack any hard evidence that I am commited (Like a PPL). I am deadly seriously about doing this however I could do with a bit of guidance as how to set off on the right path. Although I haven't got a lot of money I would consider taking out a loan to reach my goal.
Any (constructive) advice would be greatly appreciated. I do have a rough understanding of what is needed but as I say everyone tells me a different story.

Thanks
