Upgrading is moving from one level to a higher level. And for it to be possible, you have to take action first. wishing alone is not enough. You have to be deliberate about what you do.

You have to learn new things that will build you in your desired area of upgrade. People miss Opportunities because they didn't or haven't upgraded in a certain area.
For example not getting a contract, a promotion, a well paying job or a new one because you lack(ed) the required skill(s) needed. This can be very frustrating and annoying but after everything, don't allow the almighty "procrastination" still stop you from doing the needful. So that you will not say people refused to help you. Mean while, you can't be helped even if they wanted to help you because you are lacking behind in a particular area and have refused to upgrade(work on yourself).

What is the exercise?
"I am waiting for the right time" or "when the money comes I will do it". The truth is there will never be a right time and the money may never be available If you are not deliberate about what you want and getting it done.

Skill acquisition is necessary to maintain and achieve an upgrade. Which means you need to constantly polish up if you have a skill or learn one if you have none else you will be lift behind. You won't travel by bicycle when there are other faster means of transportation. Same thing with humans. Nobody wants a person that will slow them down regardless who they are.

Technology has made life easy by helping thousands of people learn new skills from the comfort of their home. You too can take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade(work on yourself) by learning something new that will impact your life positivity.

Now I have 3 questions for you and I want you to think well and hard before answering them.
1. What are you doing or have you done to make your dream a reality?
2. What is your next step once your dream has been achieved?
3. What will you do to maintain any level of success achieved?
Write out your answer(s) in your journal and if you are not satisfied, then you need to work on yourself.

Nice one
