Honor of Outstanding Achievement. The Premier Fast Trac II course, was an intensive course for entrepreneur's in preparing a business plan. The four month's of training included
many classes, expert speakers and preparing your business plan. The plans were judged by Presidents of local banks, and included dozens of businesses from Boise and Nampa.

My business plan received the highest award, even though I didn't actually have a business at the time. All the other competitors actually had businesses. This award is one of my highest achievement other than my Bachelor of Arts Degree. It illustrated to myself and the business community that I not only had talent but that I had a good business mind, and the number one business plan for success out of dozens of businesses that competed.
