How did you find your 'edge' in investing?

Irrespective of your asset class, industry, experience, portfolio size, or qualifications - if you manage your own investments or manage investments professionally: 1. How did you find your edge and what is that edge? (Feel free to list the process or tell the story.) 2. Do you think Michael Mauboussin's Behavioral, Analytical, Informational and Technological edges are the only categories out there?

Open to getting corrected or educated. Cheers!
