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.

This is my second blog post in twenty minutes, because I decided to do it right. Finally, after all my Dell troubles, I have recreated my blog template. Which is good, because I want to try an experiment regarding my Alexa rankings.
Post at MichelleTuesday.com at least once per week.
 Pending, but I did post last week. 
Advertising
PRIORITIES:
 Google "Grand Opening" campaign: Needs to be funded and revised.
Columbus Radio Group ads: LAUNCHED! OMG, I have a radio ad during rush hour.
Gahanna and New Albany local papers: PENDING.
Band boosters: Need the info.
T-shirts (?), drum sticks (?), guitar picks, shaker eggs, tote bags: Working closely with the vendor to meet deadlines and submit artwork.
Get with Gahanna schools admin office about sending fliers home: DONE, and -surprise- they have a form. I need to create the flier, print it, and submit it along with the form for approval ASAP.
SEO: Alexa was at 480k before my computer died. Now it's at 580k. I have to wonder if my daily WDC blog reference to {xlink:http://www.michelletuesday.com} helped the ranking climb.
 High school athletic calendar: Should be published today, but now I need a Grand Opening revision.
Town Moneysaver: Ad published, and we actually got a slew of calls! 
Business start-up activities.
PRIORITIES:
Database: GAH, this is so back burner, but really necessary.
Hiring: Look into background checks. New Employee Orientation was great.
Payroll: Ran! It works. 
Order exterior signage: INSTALLED!
Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
 I only sang three days last week, due to studio painting and furniture moving.
Perform one household chore per day.
I am desperately trying to catch up on this. Today I washed and dried a load of laundry, folded the one I found in the dryer  , folded the basket that has been overflowing with clean whites for at least a week, and ran the dishwasher.
Read a book in print 15 minutes every day.
I was getting in to "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" but stopped reading due to about five days of heavy manual labor. I find that I crash hard at bedtime.
Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 9/1/10.
Weight: 162, which is surprising after all the manual labor. 
Meals:
Coffee (2)
NutriGrain bar (3)
Skinny roast beef sammich (7)
Coffee (2)
Salad (3)
Half bagel w/ham and cheese (4)
TOTAL POINTS SO FAR: 21 (Goal: 25) W00t! |

Michelle Tuesday Music School : STATUS
Doors are hung, walls painted, electricity and lights in place, HVAC tied in, and ceilings installed. Now we need door hardware, baseboards, crown molding, reception counter, a thorough cleaning, steam-cleaning for the carpets, a final inspection, and certificate of occupancy. We should be done by Friday!
We could have probably held our Grand Opening this Saturday as originally planned, but it's too close for comfort. If anything causes the final inspection to fail, the contractor will have to fix it, and that would delay our occupancy until Monday.
Meanwhile, I need computers, a portable wall, promotional products, fliers to send home with the schools, and advertisements, all before next Sunday, which means the one-week delay benefits me anyway. I would say I need my security system in place, too, but I'm about to fire ADT. So I'll be starting from scratch on the security system. Maybe not from scratch - I did have another quote. I'm taking recommendations on security companies.
And we've been taking calls and scheduling new students, which makes me very, very happy.

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)
