Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
*Writing* 2 days. *Exclaim*

Brand the biz(es.)
*Writing* Got a quote on the third commercial property, finally. I'm in negotiations on my favorite two. I haven't replied to the third, and probably won't, so long as the other two come down to a level I can afford.

I also had a great idea for daytime revenue opportunities involving retirees and nursing homes. It helped that a nursing home took a field trip to Potbelly yesterday, and the Activities Director left me a tip and a business card. That kind of inspiration does tend to get the creative juices flowing.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
*Writing* I read some tips on SEO, talked to an artist friend who wants to collaborate on a graphic novel, and got a referral to a highly recommended small business attorney close to my home. *Thumbsup*

I also saw a Facebook status update posted by my former employer, who appears to be opening a new 3k-sqft studio with a stage and band waiting rooms, and she's hosting a battle of the bands this summer.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
*Pencil* What the hell do you know? I posted. Check it out: http://michelletuesday.com ...but on that note, I decided it's time to switch my hosting from WP.com to my GoDaddy account. I've got it pretty much figured out, thanks to my *Down* Biz Managers blog.

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 6/1/10.
Weight: 155.4
Meals:
8:30am Coffee (2)

Write one new original song per month.
*Check* Goal met: "Time," and I swear I have the beginnings of another song, but I need the Time (heh) to flesh out the lyrics better. I hate to lose this one over negligence, though it wouldn't be the first time. It's as of yet untitled, with a working title of "Hey, Baby" for reference purposes only.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.
*Pencil* No activity.

Maintain Business Managers blog.
*Check* Goal met! I wrote and scheduled blog posts for today, tomorrow, Friday, and next Monday. *Delight*

Meet other writing goals.
*Writing* Textbroker articles: None pending.
*Writing* Music Educators blog: On hold.

DUDES. I AM LEAVING MY CUSHY, HIGH-PAYING CORPORATE JOB IN TWO DAYS TO START A BUSINESS THAT IS GUARANTEED TO PUT ME IN DEBT FOR AT LEAST EIGHTEEN MONTHS. No apprehension, here. None whatsoever.
