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!
 PENDING!
Post at Advice for Business Managers once per day.
 Goal met. I also planned my series of posts for next week, based around the theme of workplace integrity.
I wonder if advertising the site would bring in visitors, which would increase my ad revenue? That seems backwards, paying advertising costs to generate advertising revenue, but if I could garner a loyal following, the blog might spread by word-of-mouth and see ongoing income.
SHAMELESS ADVERTISEMENT: Sassy, fun, and sometimes un-PC biz management advice!
Post at MichelleTuesday.com at least once per week.
Goal met.
NEW GOAL: Write one Textbroker article per day.
Goal met. In the absence of DirectOrders, I grabbed an OpenOrder. I grabbed another for today.
Meet other writing goals.
MochaNotes.com list is pending. Based on my experience with the new schedule, I maybe have another hour or so to dedicate to writing other blogs, articles, etc. each morning. So I may need to narrow down the list.
Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
Goal met.
Write one new original song per month.
Goal met: "Hey, Baby" [E]
Brand the biz(es.)
Goal met!!! I did some serious performance biz branding yesterday:
 dropped a promo magnet off with the owner of a pizza place who hired me once before; he wants to hire me again
dropped a promo magnet off with the *new* manager of Crown Sports Pub - apparently Adam is no longer there
dropped a CD and biz card off at a bar owned by a fellow church member; he was on vacation, so I sent him a FB message, too
rescheduled my nursing home gig for a conflict-free date in May
recorded and uploaded Time
recorded and uploaded Hey, Baby
Lessons today. 
15 minutes of small biz research per day.
The one property manager didn't like my counter-offer. But when my broker talked to him, they may have reached an understanding, so the manager is going to counter-counter-offer. And I expect to draft a counter-offer for the other place, my fave, this morning. Fun times.
Perform one household chore per day.
I took out the trash, stopped at the store for ice cream (for the boy... not for me... for the boy... I mean, I only sampled it before he got home because I wanted to make sure it was as delicious as it looked... wouldn't want to disappoint with nasty ice cream...), and I slaved all day over a pot roast. Not really. It took 5-7 minutes in the microwave. Thanks, Bob Evans and the freezer section at Kroger. Incidentally, that's also where the ice cream is. 
Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 6/1/10.

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)
