So Close

I was so close I could taste it. I had a name, went to go register it and it's already registered. Even though putting the name in the addy bar gave me the result I wanted, I didn't check to see if it was registered.

So here's the dilemma. (Odd how this morning, I was kinda unsure and got more sure during the day.) The dilemma: Do I go ahead with the name and use a different extension like .biz or .us and risk people not remembering that it's not .dom? In that vein, would I try to buy the .com when I have more money?

Do I go back to the drawing board and come up with another name altogether? I'm kind of chomping at the bit to get this naming thing done so I can finish my marketing materials and get to prospecting.

I started working on my brochure. Feeling good about it. Still not quite sure how I want to lay things out but getting a stronger sense of my brand so I'm content. The testimonials I've gotten back from my clients are phenomenal. I am so pleased!

Still freaked out about my finances. Thebutcher offered to buy me a laptop if I come and visit. Not sure if it's a loan or a gimme or whatnot but either way, it's nice to have options.

Everyone is being so supportive as I panic and all. I've noticed that the whole process freaks me out greatly but if I just sit down and just write and brainstorm through the fear, I get it done and it's not so scary on the other side.

So, am working on my brochure even though I have no name. And working on my client's stuff tonight as well.

Taxes have been sent to accountant and must pack for trip tomorrow.
