Is the consultant planning calendar in the super starter kit the same calendar that Franklin Covey sells?
 
The FC planner has a nice leather cover with a pad of paper and it has the monthly calendar with goal worksheet like things between the months and it also has weekly pages sectioned out with the 7 days across two pages. I really like my FC planner but I also don't use it like I should. I think this is a great thing to get especially if one was to take the FC course at conference.

Oh, and welcome to chefsuccess...you will love it here!

Thanks for welcoming me...I already love it!

I haven't received my kit yet...what is that calendar like?
 
The calendar that comes in the kit has a goal worksheet at the beginning and each month is spread over two pages. Very basic but it worked well for me before they came out with the FC calendar. The FC calendar is also scattered with tips from business to recipes to recruiting throughout the months and weeks.

I'm so glad to hear that...I was playing on the website today and ordered the FC calendar not knowing that there was one in the kit until I stumbled across the kit contents. I think I'll like it better.
