How do I leave Corporate America?

Coming up on my first year in IB, and I want to find a path to leave the corporate world. Thinking two viable options are real estate investing or entrepreneurship. I had side hustles in college but never took anything to a large scale. I've always had an eye for an opportunity, but don't have the time to pursue any because of IB hours. Likely asking the wrong subset of the population but those that have obtained freedom, how did you do it?
