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.
*Writing* 29 days.

Brand the biz(es.)
*Writing* My most pressing need: work on my website. I've been reading a book on JavaScript, and I swear it's just a matter of taking the time to figure out how to implement this stuff. I also need to add pages for my offerings, tuition, policy, and embed photos and videos of kids playing. I'm also thinking of changing the "Studio" part of my biz name to "Academy" or "School" to avoid ambiguity. I mentioned to a coworker that I was opening a music studio, and he said, what, you mean like a recording studio? And I Googled "music studio" with no geographic location and got all recording studios, whereas "music academy" and "music school" returned - as you would expect - music schools. Feedback about that?

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
*Check* My broker is working on deals for my two fave locations. One has visibility from a major road, is a retail location, and is next door to a Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins (can you say "synergy"?? Whatever shall mom and five-year-old sibling do with themselves while seven-year-old brother is in his drum lesson?? Hmm...) and one has visibility from the Interstate! (next door to an animal hospital; not quite as good of synergy, but did I mention it's visible from the Interstate??) Both are very awesome inside. The retail space is bigger - and, naturally, more expensive.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
*Pencil* Pending: "The Nails in His Hands." But you know what? I've decided to remove this goal, since it's practically meeting itself with intervention from band members.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
*Pencil* Still pending... and top of my list for this morning.

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.
Weight:
Meals:
8:30am Coffee (1) and a Max&Erma's cookie (5?) - last one! Until we go to Max&Erma's again.

Write new lyrics once per week.
*Pencil* Pending.

Write one new original song per month.
*Check* Goal met. I do feel like I cheated, because the song I finished was last month's song. I may put this back to "pending," but I have so much biz work to do that I'm not sure an original song is high on my priority list this month.

I'm shooting for a Grand Opening of the Michelle Tuesday Music Studio on May 1st.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.
*Check* Goal met.

Writing...
*Writing* Sixteen Textbroker articles, yikes.
*Writing* WordPress post.
*Writing* Website: SEO, Javascript, "Now Hiring" page, embedded videos, studio docs.
*Writing* Blog idea.
