Be realistic and stick at it I guess - but recognise if you're in poker to run up a huge bankroll quickly then you're in the wrong game.  It's a game where you need huge amounts of patience and an even temperament.

A few thoughts otherwise.  For starters, cashing in 75% of your STTs is very high and it makes me think a few things: either you're not accurately remembering how many times you cash, or if you are you're possibly putting too much emphasis on sneaking into the money as opposed to winning.

In either case, raw ROI is a much better metric than just the amount of time you get in the money for those games.   For an extreme example, cashing 25% of the time, all first places, is better than cashing 55% of the time with all third places.  The first has an ROI of 12.5% (assuming a 9-player 50-30-20 payout structure), while the second has an ROI of -1%.  Even though its cash rate is 30% higher.

Extreme and unrealistic example, but hopefully it highlights the point.

One other thought, on withdrawing your winnings regularly.  On one hand it's great because it means you're pulling in regular winnings.  But on the flipside, it also means the bankroll you're playing with isn't growing.  If you want to stand a chance of growing your bankroll faster, you probably need to leave some more in there so you can move up to higher stakes - beating those higher stakes games (assuming you can do it) will be what makes that graph tick upwards faster.
