What do you want to improve?

Almost all people start with a shiny object, not thinking about where there really are, their baseline.
There is a big Upgrade Graveyard full of people that did not count the cost of their desire.
Not evaluating your range of options, or your options options, is the definition of missed opportunity or leaving things to luck.
Maybe Deciding between unvetted options not only misses opportunity, but is a tremendous risk to implementation.
Implementing your upgrade wishfully vs implementing your upgrade intentionally is likely to spoil all the effort you put in thus far.

You know where you are, at least relative to the particular upgrade (ie. goal) you want at the moment, setting you up to be clear-eyed about your desires.
You want the best possible upgrade, the "right-fit" upgrade for you. 
You found the best upgrade (ie. goal) option possible, the perfect fit for what you want and where you are.
You feel great about the one you just made because your options exceeded your expectations and were aligned with where you are and what you want.
Congratulations! Your implementation is your new baseline! It's okay to repeat process, upgrading incrementally and iteritavely.

"What if the way to work wonders—faster, easier, and cheaper—was hiding in plain sight?"
Mr. Upgrade

What is an “Upgrade”?

up.grade (/ˈəpˌgrād/)

An upgrade is simply an improvement. An upgrade is an improvement – where the benefit of change outweighs the cost.
It’s an improvement to where you are, or to what you have, or to what you do, or your circumstances - your environment.
Or it’s an improvement to an option you have. Really, an improvement of anything can be an upgrade – an improvement to a plan for a trip you want to take, an improvement to a relationship you have, an improvement to your career, or an improvement to your business, or to your routine - to anything.

Up-grade verb to improve something

Up-grade noun an improvement to something

Goal noun a desired upgrade
* If you’re new to The Upgrade Mindset, when you see the word upgrade, just think of it as a goal desired, if not an improvement.

Why Ambitious People Fail to Upgrade?

Three Primary Reasons of why people don’t upgrade

Unrealistic
(Want what's not possible)
Uninformed
(Unaware of what
is possible)
Undeliberate
(Thoughtless effort)
Stagnant
Unmotivated
Stuck
Frustration
