Networking. That's it. Just get out there, talk to others, get ideas. See if you can envision yourself where that other person is at. Then you can start reverse engineering the steps it will take to get there, one stage at a time.
As an aside, I am starting to reach the conclusion that the single more cost-effective way to get a deal is to just network. Even if you are just starting, just keep showing up, keep putting yourself out there.
If you are lucky, you will meet some people that you will be able to help, and learn from them in the process.
I am thankful for a growing number of people here on BP that I have connected with in real life, and I am building relationships with several of them.
