That stress when you've already chosen the name for startup and you see this video published... and then the relief - after watching - that you've picked a good name...!
Thank you, Pat, for such a valuable content! xx

Patrick, it's so funny that I actually went through this entire process to pick out my company's name. Thanks for making these concepts as clear and as simple as possible. Great video.

Very true about choosing a company name, when i first opened i named it Bhimani Protective Services. A short month later we renamed the company to BPS Security and people loved it, it was easy to remember and say. And our name is also part of our logo we never use ot by itself.

Tip : You can also use a name that has two parts (but not too long) with the same first letter or the two parts should rhyme for example "Coca-Cola" they used the same first letter and rhymed. The reason for this is that the brain remembers it better.

[anthonypietrobono]

I didn't take this seriously at all when i started my business. I just chose "Advanced Physiques" because it was also the same initials as my first and last name. I also didn't take my business seriously at all when i started it, but here we are now! I'm glad I chose it. Great video Pat.

so your videos became the number 1 to hear while cooking :) I know this is not how you intent people to use them, but will give you a hint how they helped in couple of years ;)

[MrSalehovich]

i'm going to be honest, but when I read "Valuetainment" first time, I thought it stood for Value-Attainment.

[Sharlenestudzy-more]

Love this video... I love how you just got straight to the point...it definitely help me out.

[CarolinSoldo]

I think what you said about research and associations is so important - our brains have such a complex wiring system, and it is so important to keep these historical triggers and implications in mind when choosing a business name. Great video!

[jentaylor]

Pat, this was so helpful! Will be scratching off names in my planner after watching this

[victoroidtmann]

Hi there! Would it be a good idea to make up a word and use it as a business name? I always think i shouldn't do this because people will not know what it stands for or how to pronounce it. Thanks a lot!

[ajcld]
