Where to start?!?

So I am a complete beginner at learning Japanese and I would like to know how everyone started their journey learning Japanese?
This is what I have done so far but advice is always warmly received!

1. I have ordered Genki 1 to do some independent learning.
2. I have come on here (loving it by the way) and joined some groups to try and get some practice.
3. I have downloaded a few apps on my phone to help me.

 

Thanks :)
