Broad question I know, what was your first step to financial freedom?

I really want to sink my teeth into this, but I have no idea how to start.

I know, I should do something, start a business or something else, but that is easier said than done. I can see 5 steps ahead, I just cant see what the next step is. Maybe there is something else to read.

I feel like I have 1000 business ideas, but I dont know how to implement even one. I need some encouragement guys.

How did you guys begin? Feel free to give me any kind of advice :)
