-laughs historically-

Whoever told you that... is an idiot.

Doing the anime style is a good way NOT to be successful. There's too many people draw in that style and can't draw in any other style.

To be successful, you need to be able to draw in 4 or 5 styles. Anime can be one of those, but it can't be the only one.

I know this for a fact, as I used to have discussions with successful animators about this very thing.
