Have you noticed, Patricia Bokowski, how all dreams come with built-in challenges, and all challenges come with built-in dreams?
Curious, huh?

What’s in a name?

Turns out.

A lot.

Why?

Because your business name.

Needs to be unique.

But also.

Easy to remember!

Why?

So people can find you easily.

So, here is my famous story.

Of how I came up with my.

NineFrogs business name.

So, it’s 2011.

And I wanted to come up with a name.

For my new business.

I knew I wanted it to be two syllables.

And a .com name.

So, I went on GoDaddy.

With a handful of prospective names.

I gotta tell you.

I must have gone through about fifty names that day!

And every name was taken.

I mean.

Who knew it would be that difficult?

Then.

After an exhausting afternoon.

Of trying to come up with a unique name.

I decided to take a shower.

I thought.

Maybe it will help my thought process.

And then.

I spotted it.

In our shower was a little plastic frog.

And I thought.

Mmmm.

Frogs are cute.

They are also good luck in Feng Shui.

So I thought, cool that should work.

Then I thought of colors.

Like.

Pink Frog.

Yellow Frog.

Purple Frog.

All taken.

Then I went to numbers in my head.

One Frog.

Two Frogs.

And so on.

Then I got to NineFrogs.

And I thought.

That has a great ring to it!

And presto!

My new business name!

What’s in a name?

Not long after naming my new business.

Someone sent me this👇👇👇

F.R.O.G. MEANS, Fully Rely On God.  

Don’t believe me, Google it!

Yes, it’s true.

Have you ever seen someone wearing a frog pin?

Or have a frog statue on their desk or in their home?

Now you know why!

What’s in a name?

As for me.

I have quite the collection.

Of frog statues all over my house.

A daily reminder.

To believe I can do anything I set my mind to!

And since they are good luck.

Who wouldn’t want them.

All over your house!

What’s in a name?

To me, NineFrogs means: 

A space of grace, enlightenment and joy!

And.

In case you weren’t aware.

The number nine is the money-bags number in Feng Shui.

So, as far as I am concerned.

It was meant to be.

Like a wink from The Universe.

Now, that said.

Do you think I just sit back everyday?

Waiting for grace, enlightenment and joy?

To come knocking on my door?

Or.

Do you think I work.

At making all those things.

Come true everyday?

Taking action?

Making my own opportunities?

That would be a yes, yes, and yes!

What’s in a name?

Here’s the thing about naming your business.

It doesn’t have to have anything.

To do WITH your business.

It just has to be catchy.

And unique.

And not too long.

I’ve worked with people.

Who’s business name is:

Joe Kramer’s Unique Fix It Shop and Garage LLC (I made up that name fyi).

So, instead make it: Joe’s Garage

Because, in the back of your head.

You have to think about.

How you are going to market your business?

And marketing a long business name.

Is not ideal.

Think of these names:

Amazon

Walmart

Target

Microsoft

TJMaxx

PayPal

To name just a few.

What’s in a name?

What do they all have in common?

Short and sweet!

And all memorable.

I mean.

Who hasn’t heard of any of these businesses?

They are world known.

Because they have great marketing.

And they all have.

Easy to use business names.

Again, think about that.

When choosing your business name.

I was smart enough.

That I read some marketing.

Books back in 2011.

And in every book.

That was a major part of marketing.

Choosing a unique business name.

Remember that!

What’s in a name?

People ask me?

How do I like having my own business?

And I always say: I love it.

I will literally be working on my business till I die!

That’s what happens when you do what you love!

And I hope you are loving what you are doing!

If not.
