Which comes first the chicken or the egg

The chicken before the egg ??? A little about me I’m 37, I have been a plumbing foreman building shcools the past 12 years. I was taught growing up that what I should do is find a good job, save as much money as I can in my 401k and never dream of touching that money tell I’m 65 and retire off into the sunset and enjoy my golden years ...::. And that what I have done !!!! But the last few years I have been changing my mind set through reading and listing and dreaming ... I know there is better out there for me and I don’t want to wait tell I’m 65 or 70 to enjoy life and have financial freedom. I’ve looked into lots of options for my self to get there and I know real estate is what’s in my future and I want to flip houses I have been wakIng up at 330 am for years now and have worked my butt off to get to the top of my industry, Im ready to work for myself, I have been reading any book I can on real estate and flipping houses and just business books and self motivational books. I’ve reached out to everyone in my life in the industry, I have interviewed a few real estate agents, contractors, I’m going to my first BP meet up next weekend. I have been looking everywhere I can at deals just to get used to seeing listings. I am talking to anyone I can that will listen about what I wanna do and networking as much as possible . So my question is what comes first the deal or the financing ? Or am I thinking the wrong way , any help will be greatly appreciated
