someone i feel is a leader in my life id have to say would be my mother because she has give me great advice in life and got me out of tough situations. some characteristics she has are creativity, honesty, commitment, respect for others, and communication. one example of a situation when she demonstrated leadership was when i was working late on homework and i started to get stressed and got upset, she asked me if i needed some , and she me with my work. she demonstrated communication and commitment.

i don't know if this is exactly what your looking for but i hope this !

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
