Entrepreneurship...

I am starting a business. Yep, I have decided to start a business with my brother as my business partner. This isn't something we just 'thought' of this past weekend. Nope. This is something we have been playing around with for a while. He would throw ideas out and none of his ideas ever 'spoke' to me. That is, not until we both came up with a home repair/home cleaning/yard care/possible commercial cleaning business. Yep. That's the business my brother and I will operate together. Oh!! Don't think I am forgoing my cake boutique. Nope. That's not until 5-6 years, remember?

Well, I am in the process of coming up with a name for the business. Once I have a catchy, yet creative name, I can THEN begin to create fliers and business cards. Now, I have been trying to figure out a name for the past 2-3 weeks. Yep, I know it's pitiful. But, I am very anal when it comes to doing things properly. With that being said, I will not choose a name for just because purposes. I am looking for name that will stand out from the crowd.

I am not too concerned with start up capital, because in the business we are going into, start up money is pretty inexpensive. We will simply buy what we need as we move along. We will both remain employed with the company with which we are currently employed, and funnel money we earn from our business back into the business for advertising and the such.

Research. I have been researching and have come across great tips and motivation for starting a business as well as saving money. I have also come across great articles such as This one . This article discuss several women who have overcome debt. It is very encouraging and includes a 6month comparison of their debt and retirement savings. This forum here, which is a continuance of the original article, has great sub forums on saving money, budget grocery shopping, investing, insurance and many others, all from female perspectives!!! I thought this was great. Okay, I know I rambled a bit in this post, but the gist of what was posted was to let you guys know, I plan on starting a business with my brother. I am STILL trying to come up with the perfect name, and I am always researching better ways to SAVE!!!
