domain your name

when i meet aspiring business owners i very often ask them if they have thought of a name for their business . very often they have spent hours on this question and have come up with some very unique names. when they do answer that question the first thing i tell them is that
they made a very grave mistake and if i was not an honest person they could easily have been robbed.after the look of amazement has passed i tell them i could have gone to my computer and domained the name for myself and either have kept the name or sold it back to them for a nice sum of money.
as readers of this blog you are in for some very free information which i am going to capitalize.
NEVER TELL ANYONE YOUR BUSINESS NAME UNTIL YOU DOMAIN IT.YOU ARE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR IDENTITY THEFT.
