Hello Ehood,
I think that getting or reaching your career goal really depends on figuring out what your career goal is in the first place.
Everyone has a different one, and even the word career has a different definition whether you talk to a doctor or a lawyer.
In my opinion, the best way to answer you question is:
#1 What is your goal?
A more generic way to approach a career goal is: what is your goal in life?
Do you want to become rich and famous? do you want to make an impact? if yes, to what scale? your loved ones, your town, the society, etc.
Defining goals are extremely important in life because they are the essence of your motivation, and without motivation you can't accomplish much. So first, try to know what motivates you, what you like, what makes YOU.
#2 What kind of career is for you?
You don't mention what career path you have taken, or career you are thinking on taking, but that is also very important.
If one of your life goal is to become rich and your current role does not align with this, or does not have the opportunities to move you towards this goal, then you should reconsider your career path and move towards a field that is more aligned with your expectations.
#3 Link it all together
In the end, everyone has a different career goal, dreams and hopes, how to reach them really depends on how well we understand ourselves, how hard and how willing we are to reach and work for them.
Sky is the limit!
Hope this helps,
Cheers

Hi Ehood,
Your career goals are yours to choose. We are not the one that will have to walk through that path. All I can tell you is this:
- what do you like?
- what don't you mind spend you entire day doing?
- what are you good at?
- what are you interested in doing?
- are you more team work or work alone?
That gives you some idea about your starting path. Then you review this every once in a while (typically once a year) and see if there is anything new you can do. If you are in a big company, they usually help. If you are in a small company or even startup, switching usually means quitting the current job to another.
(1) give you a short term career goal that will help (2)
(2) give you a medium term career goal: what would I like to be in 5 years.
(3) Then if you can, give yourself a long term objective. You can remain as vague as you want or as precise depending on your aspirations.
