Points of Pain? I think so!

This week has been one of much learning and stretching myself. It has been very difficult for me to figure out what my “big ideas” are. I have never seen myself as an outgoing person or one who would just automatically be able to list out everything that I want to do with my life. And I am still not that person. It took me so long to come up with a list for the points of pain project. But as I look back on it I am amazed at how wide my ideas have reached. It will be interesting to see if anything ever comes of that list. Through my readings and studying this week I was really shocked to see the list of things in the article “5 company naming mistakes that can kill your start up.” As I was reading the 5 points, I was stunned to see certain things on it such as being very literal with your name (naming your business after exactly what your product or service is). I couldn’t help but think about all the business I know that have done the things that they advise not doing. But I suppose that this list may not be something that affects every company. That was something that I had to keep in mind. This week has also helped me get the ball rolling on my $100 challenge. I am getting, slightly, more excited to start my own little business. It will be interesting to see if I am able to do as well as I hope to do. I guess we will just have to wait and see in the coming weeks.
