Get your mind ready for PR. Be open, playful, and start meditation. Sit down and relax for 10mins for beginners. Time frame sounds good, 1 year is more than enough time to find the path to excellence. I didn't limit my learning time with PR, I just say whatever happens happens. If I happen to find everything click tomorrow, then that's that. If that didn't happen, then I play some more and gain experience. Overall, it sounds like a good plan. W/o the tapes you'll nned lots of self modivation and confidence, post when you run into problems AFTER you learn the whole mind system.
