La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  Open in new Window., worship leader  Open in new Window., small business owner  Open in new Window., songwriter  Open in new Window., aspiring author  Open in new Window. and freelance nonfiction writer  Open in new Window. with a chemical engineering degree  Open in new Window..

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.

Post at MichelleTuesday.com  Open in new Window. at least once per week.
*Check* Goal met. I posted a new cover: "Breathless" by request of WildThing~Becoming Author Icon.

Grow MochaNotes.com  Open in new Window. blogs.
*Bullet*Dabbling in Domesticity  Open in new Window.: Scheduled through tomorrow.
*Bullet* SEO: Alexa ranking for MT.com = 675k, MochaNotes.com = 796k.

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

Write one new original song per month.

Brand the biz(es.)
*Check* Goal met. I met with another architect, got a third quote, and made a selection. I have been playing with my website again, sent a company logo and marketing question to Sunny 95 for my gig Thursday, recorded a new cover and uploaded it to YouTube and my blog. I still need to design and order a foam board sign for Thursday, design and print some kind of marketing materials to hand out, and put a conversion form on my website somewhere. And I need to get another insurance quote, buy insurance, obtain a certificate, and turn it in with my signed lease and security deposit. That way, I can get in there with some paint and maybe a new toilet for the staff area (I need Molly Jean Author Icon!). And I still haven't set up Quickbooks, and I'm "this close" *pinches thumb and pointer finger together tightly* to just dumping my financial management into Excel, rather than step outside of my comfort zone - not because I don't like stepping out of my comfort zone, but because it's so damn time consuming.

I feel like I'm in a snowball rolling down Mount Everest (which, I hear, is no longer the tallest mountain in the world, so there goes my overachiever status.)

Perform one household chore per day.
*Thumbsdown* I did do a load, but I'm falling behind again.

Read a book in print 15 minutes every day.
*Check* Goal met. Sort of. I read a couple pages and zonked hard.

Meals:
7:30am Coffee (1)

TOTAL POINTS SO FAR: 1 (GOAL: 25)
