I've been spinning my wheels so much and procrastinating like heck because I think I've been a bit afraid of everything that goes into getting a business up and running and putting myself out there for the world to see.

So, today, I decided to take a leap and jump in feet first. I did it somewhat backwards, but I feel pretty good about it. I found a domain name that I like (for my main. I have a name that I would LOVE to do business as if I ever decided to grow. I'll probably use a different domain for my website as I'm doing business now). Anyhow, I signed up for one year of BlueHost which I've heard really good things about and it gives you your first domain for FREE. Not that they're that expensive, but still.

Anyhow, I am now the proud owner (actually I guess I'm renting it...lol) of www.suitesuccessenterprises.com! So, now I just have to get a website ready, there are a couple of other domain names I'd like to add ($10 per domain per year), and go through the legal stuff of registering my business.

I still have a lot to do, but I feel like I've actually made a commitment to really making this happen and it feels pretty good. (oh, and I did do some research on that name as a business name and didn't find anything, so I think it's in the clear)

Contratulations Stephanie! And from what I hear if you like/want a domain name you'd better jump on it and get it before someone else does. I wish I could have gotten the one I wanted (thealliances) but it was $1600!!!! Not in my budget.

Tell me about it...lol I already have a few more I want to jump on. I was waiting for a "bill free" pay day, so I'll probably jump on my other choices this week .

Guilty As Charged - with the domain purchase addiction, too.

Now if only I can find time to develop those sites and get them going live.

Big goals, but not enough time in a day.

Congratulations and great job with the branding of your company name!
