QOTD: How did you get to where you are today?

How did you all get to where you are today in real estate? Was it through building a business, working a 9-5 job (and in what), jumping right in and using other people’s money, etc? If you haven’t invested yet but you are on your way right now, what are your current endeavors to get that first/multiple deals? For me, it’s simple. I am a die hard entrepreneurial minded individual that is looking to fund real estate deals by building wealth through businesses. My main focus is to attract/obtain the cash through businesses first to be able to fund deals in the future. I am currently working on a couple of start ups right now. Everyone is different, everyone has strengths/weaknesses, everyone has different goals. Interested to see everyone’s experience/ambitions!

Lost a bunch of money, got my mind right, worked my *** off, bought some properties for cash, eventually did some leverage, kept my W2 and rolled every cent back into the business until it could sustain and grow itself and me.
