Creating Your Own Individual Development Plan (IDP)

It will be a few months before I start any formal schooling such as an MBA program. In the meantime, I have decided to create my own IDP. Here is the beginning of my analysis.
  1. What courses/workshops/seminars do I want to take? What is my budget for these? Note: Art of Storytelling Workshop through the public library.
  2. Which books/periodicals/e-zines do I want to read? Note: big fan of the 100 Best Business Books.
  3. How do I want to make networking a part of my IDP? Who in my field is worth following?
  4. Should I plan for some ride-alongs or shadowing? Who do I want to be like?
  5. What outreach efforts should I make? What groups should I join who are devoted my topics?
What I would really like it to find some online books discussions. There are a few on LinkedIn. Maybe I can just find different reviews of the books I am interested in?

These five questions I think are a good place to start.
