How to Pick a Name for Your Art Business. Should You Use Your Own Name?

In this video, I talk about my decision to change my business name from my own name, how I came up with Easy Sunday Club, and what brainstorming process you can steal from me to help you come up with your own unicorn business name.

Picking a business name when you're about to start a business can be daunting. Should you come up with a clever and cool name for your art business, or should you just use your name? What if your name is Gary Vaynerchuk and nobody can spell your last name? All the clever single and double word names seem to be taken by now, and it's a lot of pressure to make up new words as your business name. Not having the "perfect business name" should not be your excuse for NOT STARTING.

This is a very helpful book that helped guide me through my name brainstorming: https://amzn.to/3m72iw0
