About This Author

La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  , worship leader , small business owner , songwriter , aspiring author and freelance nonfiction writer with a chemical engineering degree .
But that's just my resume.
My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

It's been a weird morning regarding goals and writing. I woke to find two notifications in my Textbroker inbox: (1) a direct order, and (2) a message from a client asking about potential ongoing direct orders. I haven't written for Textbroker for almost a year, so it was odd to have two client requests on the same day. I went ahead and wrote the direct order, because it was a topic that comes easy to me (setting vision and establishing goals), so that was quick money. I responded to the message, but I'm not sure that's going to be for me.
It did prompt me to flip through the open orders (available for anyone to grab, as opposed to direct orders, which I receive exclusively in my inbox.) I found a few that caught my interest, and like the direct orders, they are the higher-paying variety. I haven't accepted any new orders, but it got me thinking about doing some more freelancing. Because I like money. 
But none of this was on my goals for the week.
