Trying to Learn ETA – What Should I Actually Be Studying?

Posting anonymously. I don’t come from a target school or have the typical background, but I’ve spent the last two years in M&A at a small firm and I’m really drawn to ETA.
I want to understand this space deeply—especially how to source deals, fund them with as little personal capital as possible, and avoid common mistakes.
If you’ve walked this path or are further along, I’d love to know:
• What should I actually read/listen to/study to build a real foundation?
• What helped you the most early on?
• What do you wish you’d done differently?
Appreciate any insight you’re willing to share. Just trying to do this the right way.
