La Bene Vita

Friday: 28 Days

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
28 days, or four weeks, or 11 full days and four half days.

Brand the biz(es.)
I've been thinking of my performance brand. This is something I was thinking of even before Kara told Katelyn to figure out who she is "real quick" on American Idol. I keep trying to branch out my style in some attempt to satisfy the perceived preferences of certain people in my life, or even just to comply with requests, but there's a certain core group of artists whom I cover really well. Your task, should you choose to accept it: send me a list of your favorite covers and/or original works from my blog (you might have to dig into the "next page" archives) so I can compare to what I believe I excel at. Help me figure out my performance brand.

You can find my blog here: http://www.michelletuesday.com

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
I worked on my biz plan, actually assigning numbers. My gross margin is not likely to make a Rockafeller out of me. It's a good thing I love this stuff.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Goal met. But you already knew that, because you checked it out for the assignment above , didn't you?

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.
Weight:
Meals:
8:00am Coffee (1) and cashew granola bar (3)

Write new lyrics once per week.
Pending, and I haven't done this in weeks. It's obviously not a priority, so I'll take the goal down for now. As I get ready to leave Abbott in (did I mention? 28 day!), my priorities involve the things that will earn me money going forward: new gigs, the biz, and the blog.

Write one new original song per month.
Goal met: "Time"

Launch one new repertoire song per week.
Goal met: "Time" and "Pride (In the Name of Love)"

Writing...
Sixteen Textbroker articles, yikes.
Website: SEO, Javascript, "Now Hiring" page, embedded videos, studio docs.
Blog idea. I really want to do this, but it's difficult to find time.
