If you want it, go for it, dive in headfirst and be ready to fail, it makes success all the more sweeter.
What he said. Also, try to be social in general. Join linkshells of all kinds, not just those dedicated to endgame raiding. My membership in my static actually came from a social linkshell; myself and my static leader both happened to be in it, but hadn't really made each other's acquaintance until they were looking for a tank to replace one who had less than stellar attendance. I didn't have my T5 clear, so they helped me with that and we went on to T6. The rest is history. :3
