How did you get money to start your business?

How were you able to pay for business expenses and personal expenses at the beginning? And would you recommend others try doing it the same way?

I can think of a few options:

Start business while working another job, and kept working another job until the business was making enough money

Save up money for at least several months of business and personal expenses, then quit and go all in on the business

Quit day job and work on the business with little income and hope for the best

Get a business loan to pay starting expenses and to pay yourself for personal expenses

What are your experiences?
