A question all self-learned freelancers: What sources did you use to learn? How did you do it? What's your story?

[Paranoctus]

Hey guys!

Iit's been some years since I last used this forum... should've never stopped reading.

A simple question to all of you, since many of you actually do what I strive to do:
Freelancing - or better said adding value to your clients in a independent, self-managed manner... how did you do it?
What did you do before and how did you start this journey? What resources did you use to learn and how long did it take?
What's your story?
