What's In A Name?
So, I am starting this business. Really, I am just going to learn more about running the business that I have always run...a sole proprietorship as a theatre performer, director, choreographer, writer, producer, administrator, facilitator and consultant. But now, I am going to register my business, learn how to keep the books and concentrate on creating my own projects. Honestly, I am excited to learn more. And I am grateful to be part of a program that pays me so I don't have to take a receptionist position to pay for food.
Thing is, now that I am going to actually register a business, I need to name it. I could register the company as just my name since it is a sole proprietorship. But I am not sure that is my favorite idea...especially if I produce shows in the future. Weird to say on the poster "Krista J. Konkin presents A Chorus Line". You know what I mean? The obvious place to go is to Fill In The Blank Productions, but then I get confused by that idea as well because lots of what I will get hired to do won't be necessarily attached to a production, like facilitating workshops. So then I think about Fill In The Blank Entertainment, or Group or Creatives or Creative Services. It is like I would like to choose something the encompasses everything.
Which brings me to my request. Give me a name for my company. Click here to get to my Konkin Questions page and help me brainstorm. Serious or humorous, I welcome any ideas because who knows what will inspire the actual name to pop up in front of me.
The closest thing I have so far is based on this blog. Live Out Loud Productions or Creative Services. Shortened to LOL Productions or Creative Services is both cool and annoying due to the fact that LOL stands for Laugh Out Loud in cyber talk. I have thought up a cool logo for it, though. I dunno. Not totally convinced. Looks like I am needing your help...
GO NOW...NAME AWAY!!!!!!
