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.

First, a very cool article by a talented author:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/30/AR2010033004260....
Now on to the goals:
Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
 Today, I turn in my badge.
Brand the biz(es.)
I've been working on my web page and blog. Probably more to come on that tomorrow, since it isn't complete, but in a nutshell:
(1) I launched a new YouTube channel for Michelle Tuesday, and I'll eventually shut down my wdcbrandiwyn account, and
(2) I launched a new blog on MichelleTuesday.com, and I'll eventually archive my Wordpress.com blog. I'm bummed, because my old theme is no longer available, so I'm still playing with a couple different themes. Hence the W-I-P.
In both cases, I'll probably post notifications on both old sites pointing to the new homes and leave them up for awhile.
15 minutes of small biz research per day.
Yep, I looked up some marketing ideas, and I drove past the new 3k studio my old boss opened up. It looks nice. It's kind of tucked into a corner in a strip mall, and the sign isn't up yet, so I'm interested to see what kind of visibility it ends up with. My two fave locations have *great* street visibility, plus they look classy (the one in particular), and great signage opportunities. That's probably why they're so flipping expensive. But... we're negotiating. 
Post at WordPress at least once per week.
 Goal met.
Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 6/1/10.
Well, not so much progress on this one. But it's okay, because next week, I'll be unemployed.
Write one new original song per month.
Goal met: "Time" - but I've polished up "Hey, Baby" quite a bit, identifying a complete verse and chorus. Now I just need another verse or two, or a bridge or something. I was on a roll, so I started setting another set of lyrics to music, too.
Launch one new repertoire song per week.
 No activity, and right now, I'm not that concerned about it.
Maintain Business Managers blog.
Goal met through Monday: http://mochanotes.com/adviceforbusinessmanagers
Meet other writing goals.
Textbroker articles: None pending.
Music Educators blog: On hold.

Even better if she can whistle to the tune of Mozart or something.

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)
