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.

I'm playing at bd's Mongolian Grill tonight. 
Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
 In progress and on schedule with notice. I actually sent Keith a "What if..." email yesterday, suggesting that the first shift supervisor might be getting another job, and what if I could just go to first shift instead? What if my boss, out of fear of losing two out of three of his experienced supervisors at the same time, was willing to negotiate a part-time schedule and day shift hours that work around Potbelly? What if? I wasn't *actually* entertaining the thought. I don't think. But Keith said, since I asked his opinion, he thinks it's a good idea.  He supports me, but he worries about money - just like I do, hence the "What if" in the first place. It took some wind out of my sails that I lost half of my students already.
Brand the biz(es.)
Starting lessons at my house this afternoon. It's a bummer I don't have Internet there, but I'm sort of waiting to see what comes of this church meeting tomorrow morning. If I can teach at the church, I'm going to aggressively sell my house starting next week, so why install Internet?
I wrote a registration form, a policy document, and a tuition document. I also brainstormed some classes I'd like to offer. You know what I need? A phone number. OH! Does anyone know how you get into the Yellow Pages? Do you have to have a biz account at the phone company, or something? And could you set it up on a mobile phone?
And I eventually want to start a revenue-generating blog related to music instruction, either targeting music educators or music students.
I'm going with "Michelle Tuesday Music Studio" for now, and saving MochaNotes for either just the lesson books, or MochaNotes Music Cafe if I ever get that off the ground. I figure, I'm gigging around town, so people might recognize my name: Bonus advertisement.
15 minutes of small biz research per day.
 Goal met.
Business: Music Instruction Books.
Yes!!! I wrote a sight-reading lesson for voice because I needed it for church. Today I'll compose an assignment book.

I don't know how you do it, but I assume there's magic involved *^*Bigsmile*^* I have really enjoyed this month of planning and preparation for NaNoWriMo and I love how organized it all is. Thank you for hosting a great challenge and for your dedication to helping so many of us prepare with confidence and trepidation for National Novel Writing Month (known to sane folks as 'November' *^*Laugh*^*) at your [Link To Item #1474311]](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Organization-1150.gif)

For your hard work, commitment, talent and innovation in running the October NaNoWriMo Preparation each year, which helps many of us get our scattered thoughts together for November's novel-writing. And also because this badge has ducks on it.](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Leadership.gif)
