You don't give me enough information about your background for me to have a sense as to whether or not your goals are realistic. If you already have a CCNA and work in an environment where you have access to Cisco routers and switches, and if you have time to study 20 to 30 hours a week, you might be able to reach your goals in the time frame you mention. Otherwise, you might want to consider giving yourself more time, and perhaps even investigating instructor-led training in your area (tip: if you can't afford outright commercial courses, look into offerings at local community colleges -- you can often get excellent training for 25-33% of the cost of commercial training and really benefit from access to a good instructor, labs and fellow students.)
