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.

Random temporary goal: PAY TAXES BY 4/15!
 ...just to keep this to-do in front of me. 
Post at Advice for Business Managers once per day.
 Goal met. At the recommendation of one of my ongoing Textbroker clients, I installed an SEO plugin on the blog... wow! Cool stuff. I also created link graphics for MochaNotes.com , which appears to be turning into a one-stop-shop blog center for your coffee break reading enjoyment.  Besides the Advice for Business Managers column, I'm considering adding:
 Advice for Music Educators
Advice for Music Students
Speculative Fiction Ezine
Any other ideas??? I don't have enough to do!
Post at MichelleTuesday.com at least once per week.
Goal met.
Meet other writing goals.
Textbroker articles: None pending. If I don't get a DirectOrder by the end of the week, I may start looking for one OpenOrder per day.
Music Educators blog: On hold... but on the horizon.
Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
 Pending, and now that I have more time, I'll start taking it more seriously. My repertoire is getting stagnant. I'm taking requests.
Write one new original song per month.
Goal met: "Hey, Baby" [E] (...recording pending, along with "Invalid Item" )
Brand the biz(es.)
Goal met. Check out the website overhaul: MichelleTuesday.com
15 minutes of small biz research per day.
Goal met. I spoke with an attorney, who may end up being my long-term biz attorney. When I bitched that Ohio still hasn't sent my ficticious name certificate in the mail for my stage name, he looked it up at the Secretary of State website and found my certificate, which has been in effect since January 26th. He printed it for me. Would have been nice for the state to let me know it existed.  But, hey. I like the attorney.
Perform one household chore per day.
One load of laundry, and I mowed the lawn at my house. I also made dinner: Stuffed peppers and salad. I feel all domestic. I worked hard on the peppers. I had to slit the pastic with a sharp knife and push buttons on the microwave, and -then- I had to spoon sauce over the peppers and push more buttons in the microwave! *whew* I'm not sure I"m cut out for this domestic stuff.

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)
