0 - Seven Figures in 10 Years?

Just a fun discussion topic sort of inspired by all the anti-banking/PE soul searching going on on this forum recently lol. 

If you could start now, and wanted to go from $0 to $10M plus net worth in, let's say, 5-10 years, how would you try and do it?

Bonus points if you aim higher than 10 million (just prepare for the roasting in your replies).

EDIT: please delete this post mods
