laurent series expansion about $z=0$

enter image description here

using the Laurent expansion i got the answer to be $$-(z+1)\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{z^{n-1}}{2^{n+1}}$$ however, I've got a feeling I've made a mistake somewhere?

By partial fractions, $g(z) = - \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{z} - \frac{3}{4} \frac{1}{1-\frac{z}{2}} = -\frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{z} - \frac{3}{4} \sum_{i=0}^\infty \frac{z^i}{2^i}$.
