Upgrade Your Skills for Continued Growth and Fulfillment: The FUSE Pathway

The Upgrade phase is where vision meets preparation — a critical period where you develop the
specific skills needed to execute your unique vision. Like legs supporting a stool, each domain of
your vision requires certain capabilities, and this is the time to honestly assess your current
proficiency and determine what needs strengthening. It’s not about achieving mastery in
everything, but rather reaching the precise level of competency required for your particular
vision.

This learning phase is highly personalized and varies significantly based on individual starting
points and goals. Take Noah, our aspiring travel writer, who methodically developed his craft
while waiting tables. He built his writing portfolio through freelance work, studied successful
travel writers, and simultaneously planned his journey to Brazil. Rather than rushing, he spent
months growing his skills and income streams, demonstrating how the Upgrade phase often
involves practical preparation alongside skill development. The process can utilize various
approaches from networking to self-guided learning and stepping-stone jobs — all tailored to
your learning style and circumstances.

These approaches are timeless and have been used throughout history. Leonardo da Vinci,
despite being largely self-taught in his early years, significantly advanced his skills through an
apprenticeship at Andrea del Verrocchio’s workshop in Florence. Working in this workshop
between the ages of 15 and 25, Leonardo not only developed his artistic abilities but also
discovered his passion for machinery and engineering through various projects, including work
on the Florence Cathedral dome.

Upgrade is about preparing yourself more fully for your fusioneering journey. Since you’re
pursuing your passions and interests, and living your dream, you’ll naturally enjoy this process.
That discovery becomes its own reward. You’ll know you’re ready to move forward to the next
phase, Start, when both your head (logical assessment) and gut (intuitive feeling) align, signaling
that you’ve built the foundation needed for going forward.
