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.

Happy March! It's a new week AND a new month today, so I'm starting fresh on all my goals.
Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
 32 days.
Brand the biz(es.)
The woman who wanted to teach for me decided she can't make a commitment right now, because she's job hunting for a full-time job and it might take her out of the state. So I have no teachers, and I have "advertise open positions" on my to-do list. On a positive note, the Board of Advisors meeting was unbelievable! They had so many great ideas. I just need to hire a few people to implement all of them.
I also spent most of yesterday developing an Access database to store client information, sales, scheduling, and maybe even financial reporting and budgeting. It's a work in progress, but I at least have the client piece set up, which stores both students and performance venues.
15 minutes of small biz research per day.
I've been in contact with two real estate agents and one brokerage. I have showings on Wednesday morning! 
Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
 Pending: "The Nails in His Hands" to launch on Wednesday night, 3/10/10.
Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Pending, but since I recorded a ton of songs for my demo CD, I have audio files ready to videoize (I verbed a noun! Somebody tell Jedi Moose  !) Posting should be a no-brainer this week.
Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.
Weight:
Meals:
6:30am Coffee (1) and FiberOne yogurt (0)
8:00am Coffee (1) and bfast Lean Pocket (5)
9:30am Coffee (1)
1:45pm Skinny roast beef sandwich (7)
5:45pm McDouble (9) with small fries (5) and strawberry sundae (6)
10:30pm Lifesavers (1)
11:00pm Triscuits (2)
TOTAL POINTS: 38
Write new lyrics once per week.
Pending, with a FAIL for last week.
Write one new original song per month.
Pending, with a FAIL for last month. I farted around with it again at Potbelly, but this one I think really needs some at-home TLC.
Launch one new repertoire song per week.
Pending, but I'd rather just write a new song.
Writing...
Bouncing around more ideas for publishing a blog to generate income and/or to draw visitors to my biz site. I wanted more time for this today, but it just didn't materialize, with three *currently* paying jobs competing for my time on Mondays. |

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)
