If you want to go big, then don't try to make small improvements to you rcurrent situation.
If your current life is a rectangle, but you really want to be a smiley face, then you need to bite the bullet and erase the rectangle.
It'll hurt at first, as you'll be left with a blank page, but it's the only way to get to where you want to be. No matter how pretty and strong you make that rectangle, it ain't going to grow a smile.
It's the same in life. If you are in middle management, but you really deserve to be a wealthy business owner, then no matter how many stock options you get, or commissions, or pay raises, you are never going to get where you want to be.
To make matters worse, most career drones suffer from massive amounts of anchoring and green grass syndromes. They want a 5% raise instead of their neighbours 3%, or they want to corner office, or the new promotion. In 99% of cases these periodic rewards will only move you up at a mostly linear pace. Dare I say that you should really be looking for square, cubic, or even logarithmic growth?
