Well, I would certainly love to see you in one of our Bootcamps, or if you
are not ready for that level, an Advanced Technologies event. But most
importantly, it is time to get FIRED UP again.

So much about success in this journey is about dedication, enthusiasm, and
positive attitude. I know it is tough, but you need to get back to a point
of truly wanting and enjoying the study process.

Regarding reading versus labbing, what about trying thisb&.do both in a
study session.

Grab a DOC-CD section, read, and then immediately start labbing as you
read about a feature. And when I say labbing b create your own lab
scenario involving the feature.

Congrats on the re-starting of an incredibly rewarding journey.

Subject:long span between attempts

I will be sitting again in November and want to get your thoughts on
something.
I started pursuing the CCIE back in 05 and sat the lab in 06 with not
so bad results but it was still a fail.
I started a new job that consumed me so the studying stopped.

So about 6 months ago I started trying to pick back up where I left
off but man is it hard to stay motivated.
I'm looking for some advice on this and a game plan. I find myself
reading alot more about the technologies than labbing
up where as before I labbed up and read later.

Has anyone else had this issue and time span between getting serious?
My job doesn't insist on the CCIE so its more a personal thing.
I was thinking a bootcamp to fire me up. I need to be pushed I think

Let me hear some your thoughts.
