I started by joining a few muds as a staff member, and getting familiar with general mud coding. After a few months of that, I took a stock mud and had a play by myself. After about five years of developing that mud, I wrote another one from scratch (just a small one).

Then I got together a team, spent about a year and a half working on the design of a new mud, followed by another year and a half of coding (once again from scratch). It's not really playable yet, but it's coming together quite nicely.

But the short of it is, expect to put in a lot of time and effort. The same is true of any decent mud, but with a scratch-written mud you'll have to put a lot of time before you even see any results.
