The Good Life. |
Resign from Abbott by 3/1/10. In progress and on schedule. Brand the biz. My friend Tony designed a kickass logo for my MochaNotes biz! But right now, I'm focusing on the Michelle Tuesday biz. I talked to Chase about bank account options, because I'd like bars and restaurants to write checks to my stage name. I have to open a biz account. The problem is, I have to open separate accounts for Michelle Tuesday, MochaNotes, and Tuesday Entertainment, unless I create a corporation ("Tuesday Entertainment") D.B.A. ("doing business as") Michelle Tuesday and MochaNotes. Meanwhile, I'm on Chapter 9 in "Small Business for Dummies." Wowsa. It's a lot to keep up with. It's intimidating, and it's no wonder everyone doesn't quit their jobs and start up their own businesses. You gotta really want it. Fortunately, I have a small business already - my Michelle Tuesday business is classified as a sole proprietorship - and I can apply the principles to that much simpler biz before jumping headfirst into a brick-and-mortar biz. Tony also did some promotional posters for me to hang at bd's, which I dropped off last week. Yesterday, a lady at church asked me if I played anywhere outside of church, because she'd seen a poster of a musician at bd's who looked an awful lot like me, but didn't quite have my name. I confirmed that it was, in fact, me, and that I was using a stage name. My first celebrity recognition! ![]() Business: Music Instruction Books.
