Friday: 21 Days!

Suddenly stuffy... just in time to visit my nephew this weekend for his baptism. Maybe my head will explode on the plane, and it will relieve the sinus pressure. {e:hopeful}

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
21 Days!

Brand the biz(es.)
I'm still in negotiations on my two fave locations. I mapped out a few routes (in my Jeep - testing for convenience) to both locations and think they're both good. I also pinpointed the Gahanna Public Library for some future marketing potential.

I had a chat with my accountant/future investor/mom about my biz plan. We ironed some ideas out. I'll be visiting this weekend for the baptism, so maybe we'll get time to chat some more.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
I finally took the time to peruse the website of my biggest local music school competitor in Gahanna. She runs a good business. She takes a formal approach to music instruction, though, and my business plan is much more laid back. We might barely overlap in the market.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Yep: http://michelletuesday.com

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.

Write one new original song per month.
Goal met: "Time" - which is polishing up nicely.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.
Goal met: "Second Chance" - with the verses sung correctly! It's a tad low, which works well when you have a head cold.

Business Managers blog: I started this at WordPress as a trial run for the Music Educators blog. I haven't actually posted anything, but I did pick a title and reserve it at WordPress. {e:babysteps} It's more than I had yesterday.
