Think About Future Growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you start with photography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Will I expand into courses, SaaS, or ecommerce?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will the name still make sense in 3\u20135 years?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f449;
