One additional note. Don't think of moving up as something that YOU can DO - think of it as something that HAPPENS TO YOU as a result of factors OUTSIDE your control.

These factors basically boil down to the size of your bankroll and you following a sensible bankroll management principle - but surely by now you will agree that the actual amount of money in your bankroll is in very important regards something that is outside your control.

The same principles of making it happen and being results oriented that apply to a hand needs to be applied to bankroll management. People harp on how important it is, but just as important is to plot your course and let the LONG RUN prove you right - without constantly twitching at the controls and making your own problems.

You are your worst enemy. Do you really think you are putting together an effective strategy against your worst enemy?
