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.

The 'rents are visiting for the long weekend. My financial adviser (mom) and I are playing with spreadsheets and accounting software. Took 'rents to see the two commercial spaces that have potential to house my music school. Mom & Dad both have feedback about the spaces, and we've been talking pros and cons since they arrived. Still haven't decided.  Gah.
Post at Advice for Business Managers once per weekday.
 Weekend!

Goal met.
Write one Textbroker article per weekday.
 Pending. Budget evaluating and spreadsheeting.  (where's Jedi Moose  ?? I verbed another noun. {e:proud})
Grow MochaNotes.com blogs.
 Dabbling in Domesticity : Caught up.
SEO: {e:double-take} We may have stabilized. I think both sites went down (in ranking, meaning up in Alexa number) a smidge since yesterday. MT.Com was at 1.779 million yesterday, this morning is at 1.782 million, and MochaNotes.Com went from 1.575 million to 1.578 million.... I *think*... unless I'm remembering the numbers wrong, because I didn't write them down yesterday. I wrote the numbers down today (see previous sentence, if you don't believe me), so I should be able to compare tomorrow and be sure of the direction of travel. 
If they did go down, it would be weird that they both did so on the same day. The sites are completely unrelated, except in my ownership and that they're both hosted on the same GoDaddy account. I could just be losing my mind.
Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
Goal met.
Write one new original song per month.
Brand the biz(es.)
Goal met. Spreadsheeting.
Perform one household chore per day.
Goal met.
Read a book in print 15 minutes every day.
Goal met. I've been reading one chapter every night. I'm enjoying the adventures of Perseus Jackson, who finds himself routinely mired in a muck of trouble. Rick Riordan does the protagonist conflict thing rather well and is clearly not afraid to inflict bad things on his beloved character. That, my friends, it what it takes to be a good storyteller.

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.
