First, you have to define your goal and then plan to achieve it. If your goal is to make it to Div 1, then you're on the right track. You may have to catch a few lucky breaks, maybe find yourself in a season not many others are competing for promotion, maybe be opportunistic and pick up a player or two in the lead up to the playoffs and you should get your shot. If you want to be competitive in Div 1, then you probably want to stay in div 2 a bit longer, build up your savings, and try to build your team out with that in mind.
