Move your way to...
 
Dear friends, 
 
could you help me with the definition of the phrase "move your way to..."?
Does it mean to reach a certain achievement by putting a lot of effort into your work?
 
Thank you for your help.

I would say work your way to. Let �s wait and see what native speakers think about your phrase. Pozdrav.

I agree with zvonka. It �s usually �work your way to/towards �  I haven �t heard �move your way � in this context. �Move forward � would be OK in this context. �She moved forward/she moved towards her goal by studying hard... �  
I would say that �move your way to � is the same as the more usually used �make your way to � and is used in the literal sense.
