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.

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
 22 days! Or, 3.43 weeks. Or, ten full workdays and three half workdays. Or, 920 hours. Wait, I don't like that one as much. Let's go back to 3.43 weeks.
Brand the biz(es.)
Pretty much waiting on my new home... except that I still haven't decided whether to keep "Studio" or change it to "School" or "Academy." Also, I'm ready for the hiring phase, and I need a lobby attendant who can not only greet customers, but help students with computer lab. I have a few ideas as to where to find such a person.
15 minutes of small biz research per day.
I have two primary locations competing with one another: one retail and one office. Pros and cons of the two:
Retail:
* Higher price, lower profit margin
* Higher break-even, which means it will take longer to see a profit
* Location is tucked between shopping and restaurants, making it convenient for busy parents
* High visibility from a main road through town
* Larger property, more room for future growth, therefore higher overall profit potential
Office:
* Lower price, higher profit margin
* Low break-even
* Location is somewhat close to shopping and restaurants, but not right next door
* Visibility from the Interstate
* Smaller property, less room for future growth, lower overall profit potential
Basically, the retail location is a higher risk with a higher potential reward. Originally, I looked at my potential profit on it and went -OMG- I'm not even interested in the smaller one. But then I spent two hours yesterday at the little office space taking measurements and drafting my floor plan, and I love it again! It's so cute, and I can get one more lesson room in it than I originally thought with very little modification, increasing its potential by 33%. So now I love both locations, so it will probably come down to who gives me the better deal.
Post at WordPress at least once per week.

Goal met: "Time"
Launch one new repertoire song per week.
Goal met! Potbelly Gahanna has a little extra budget money, so I'm playing Wednesdays this month. Yesterday, I played "Second Chance" by Shinedown, finally. It sounded good, but the verse is still not quite right. I'll be polishing.

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)
