Compounded interest + doubling your investment + Research + Risk and Reward + skills on buying low and selling high + patience with no emotions

It's not easy, but very possible; however, only if you are in complete control!
From a business perspective:
There are many ways to take a $2,000 dollar investment and turn it into $1.024 Million dollars in ten years.
Say you are sitting at an office desk. You look around you and ponder the inventions and companies that produce those supplies/inventions. Each one of those objects made a million dollars for someone else.
The pencil. The wired phone, the LCD monitor, the wooden desk, the chair, the keyboard, the calculator, the vanilla folder, etc.
All of these had competing brands, yet all of those supplies were bought from a company that sold that object, and that company profited from your consumption. With earnings going to the company and founders, investors, and workers who made that product/service and buy/sell transaction possible for you to have that object.
Each office product you see in front of you became a Million dollar briefcase to someone else.
Of course, mustachians don't need $1 Million or even a Billion to FIRE and be Happy, it just may be a fun hobby to make your own businesses from nothing and then your own global enterprise empire after FI with any excess cash you happened to make doing the things you love to do anyway.
