it’s time for a timeline
Okay so last week I finally enrolled into ICA. While it was a bit overwhelming to figure things out, I managed to attend and participate in 2 classes. AC105 [Creating Action 1] and FC105 [Getting Started 1]. I have to say I’m enjoying the quality of ICA. This is a very in-depth training organization. Now that I have some free time coming up during our break I’m going to set a schedule for myself. A timeline so to speak on when to graduate. So here’s my plan. I want to graduate by December of 2008, which gives me about 6 months to finish. So I have to work double time and make sure I’m getting the best out of my trainings.
Main Goal: To graduate from ICA by December 2008
Why: So I can fulfill my dream of being a life coach by the end of this year. So I can accelerate my learning process and start my coaching practice. So I can effectively help others find and LIVE their life’s purpose. Because this is worth it for me. Because I want to make a difference in humanity. It’s time to use S.M.A.R.T.

what’s S.M.A.R.T.?
I just started with ICA in June and impressed that you plan to graduate in Dec 2008! I originally considered that but have decided June 2009 is a much better pace for me. Good luck and if I can support you just ask!
