Hi,

Okay...I'm new here and needing some help. I've already established the name of my business. It is... Virtual Provisions. My thoughts are to use the initials VP and incorporating a stopwatch or clock within the upper portion of the P. This would be my logo. Then my tagline would be something like....Time Is On Your Side.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,
Shellye

Hi Shellye,

I like the clock idea in the center of the P. That sounds great and the tag line will fit in perfect with the logo.

Now all you need is to select your colors, web design layout and content lol

Great idea,
Andrea~

Andrea,

Well....great minds think alike. I have my DBA registered. I actually already have my website domain and have already created the website. I created a header first using Xheader and then used Xsite Pro Website Design to create the website. It looks good, but I'm not ready to publish it yet. I still want to have a logo created. I then need to get a business account through paypal for payment services and other things in place first.

I work full-time right now so that limits my time. I want to obtain certifications as well, so it's going to take me a few months to prepare to launch my business. I guess it's just one step at a time.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm looking so forward to getting to know everyone on the board here.

I like the name, concept but would tweak the tagline just a bit. Maybe something more like "With VP, More Time is on Your Side." Or maybe just "Get More Time on Your Side!"

The way I see it, time isn't on their side...that is, until they hire you to help them get more time on their side.

Does that make sense?

Lots of us work full-time while building up our businesses so don't hesitate to search for related posts and, if you can't find what you are look for, ASK! We're glad to help!

As far as certifications, if you are just looking to add initials to your name, I wouldn't worry about it before opening your doors (or at all, quite frankly). If you are looking to add skills, there is no reason why you can't do that while searching for clients.

Thanks Lily, I appreciate the advice. I think I will have to move faster than I originally thought. I found out today that my job might be ending soon.

Hi Shellye:

Just remember that when one door closes, another one opens. Believe that and continue to move forward with your business. You'll be fine.

All this is great advice for all of us. Thanks!
