Sunday: 33 Days

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
33 days.

Brand the biz(es.)
I dropped off a CD for the Mexican restaurant. He's thinking of booking me for one day during his week-long Cinco de Mayo festival. I've also enrolled two new students, created an invoice form (and sent March invoices), polished my clients spreadsheet, and started working on an Access database to keep track of it all. And I have my Board of Advisors dinner tonight!

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
I had another brainstorming discussion, this time with one of my new customers, who used to work for a bank and assist small biz owners for a living. Advice is easy to come by! In the end, it's my biz and my decisions, so I never say no to advice. I can sort the useful from the crap.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
Goal met. We're blowing this goal out of the water with a new song every week or two. The band is feel feisty this year. Hey, if they're willing to take it home and learn it, I'm willing to launch it.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Goal met.

Write new lyrics once per week.
Pending.

Write one new original song per month.
In progress. Maybe I'll work on it this afternoon! It's 2/28. Last day of the month. But I have an access database, a nap, and an Advisors dinner ahead of it on the priority list.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.
Goal met, I think. Nobody's complaining (out loud) that my repertoire is getting boring, so I think I'm okay here?

Writing...
Four Textbroker articles in progress with a tiny bit of thought to my music blog. I thought about launching another blog, and buying the posts, just to try out Wordpress upgraded features under a pen name. Since that will cost me money, I need to make sure I don't have to sign a long-term commitment or something. I'm thinking of doing a blog on succeeding in Corporate America. Or maybe celebrity gossip. You can never go wrong with celebrity gossip.
