Too Many Good Ideas, Not Enough Resources

I think one of the biggest challenges facing business leaders today is sifting through all the potential projects that cross their desks and deciding which initiatives are worth pursuing and which aren't. Recently, I got a wild hair and decided I wanted to build a boat. I've searched the Internet for the last several weeks looking for the right "project." I found a builder in Maine who's website convinced me that I wanted to buy the plans to build one of his boats. I measured my garage to see how much space I had to work with and narrowed my choice down to two styles. Late last night I wrote him, explained my level of experience, and asked him if he had any advice. His reply came early this morning. He described the characteristics of each boat, including building and sailing, and asked me questions about what I wanted to accomplish with my boat. What was I looking for in the building process as well as what I wanted in sailing the boat later? Basically, he...

The 10 Commandments of a Great Business Name

Like an individual's given name, a business name is an identity. Naming your business is one of the toughest parts of starting a business mainly because you'll be known under this name from the start until you, hopefully not, end your business. Your business will have to live, figuratively speaking, under this given name. A business is like a new born child. You have to give it a name. When you give it a name that doesn't exactly fit your business, it would be just like naming a kid with a wrong name too. A business name doesn't exactly make up for serious deficiency in your business operations or help you avoid selling. But a business name is everything and nothing.

Apply these 10 commandments when choosing a name for your business. 1. Take Naming Seriously Naming your business or prod...
