Having completed my CCNA I often got asked if I was going to study for CCNP, and I always thought it would be a step too far. I talked with a colleague and he suggested I look at INE's offerings. Using INE's material with Brian and Keith's study track I managed to successfully achieve my CCNP. Not only have I achieved my goal, I also learned much more across all Cisco tracks and I'm one of the go-to guys when stuff doesn't work. Who knows, maybe a CCIE might not be beyond me in future years with INE by my side.
