Jimmy89,
I think I understand where your coming from. I think your saying that you need the experience of handling bad weather with the guidance of instructors (relatively more experience, theory etc) to gain experince so when you encouter it on your own, you have the basics of making the right decisions to avoid it. I think you mean well but with regards to weather: treat it with respect! Always try to avoid bad weather (even with an IR), and even if it means cancellation of a flight. Please read DI_VOSH post again! You will not overcome the weather, it will overcome you if you do not manage your flying correctly.
Good luck with your ambitions and as Trav737-400 says, "one small step at a time" and you will achieve.
