La Bene Vita

Sunday: 40 Days

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
40 days and counting!

Brand the biz(es.)
I still need to burn a CD for the Mexican restaurant.

Meanwhile, I asked two key customers, Keith, and the teacher who wants to teach for me, if they would agree to a brainstorming meeting in exchange for free dinner. They've all agreed, and now I'm just working out a time and place that works for everyone. I'm psyched. My first board of advisors.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
Keith went to my house to fix a curtain, and he picked up my desktop computer. The sound isn't working, because it needs a new driver, but I don't have it on the Internet (no ISP at my house.) We need get that puppy on the Internet and download whatever it needs.

Details, details. I need an Operations Manager. Once I finish reading my fascinating IRS Publication 15 (Circular E), Employer's Tax Guide, I'll know how to hire one. The next step is generating enough revenue to afford it.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
Goal met.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Pending... and I need to work on my CD for the Mexican place, so maybe some song recording is in order for this afternoon.

Taxes.
Well, it turns out that was just a first pass. I now have some more work to do.

Writing...
I added this goal because I committed to some Textbroker jobs. I finished my $20 OpenOrder by the deadline this morning. I also accepted four out of eight of my DirectOrders and have seven days to complete them. I'll accept the other four after I complete the first four.
