7. Name Adjustment

Being in business, an idea that still makes me giggle as it is so new to me, is quite a faith walk.

As I think these are just the funkiest USBs ever, I wanted to register their designs asap. I went ahead and did so, esp. as it cost me about N$2 per design. So while they were still in the process of coming to life I went ahead to register them. 


At the time I did not have a registered company yet, and figured that can wait until I have actually sold something. Besides, paying N$200 to register a sole trader is different to paying N$2 to register a design. Sure, N$200 isn't much, but I was already spending a significant amount of money. Plus things were pretty busy at my full time job at the time.


When I finally registered the "company" I was advised not to use Eagle Vision Enterprises. It's not the enterprises part I was interested in in any case, but I would have to add "Trading" to this already long name. But the biggest reason for the advice to change the name was that "Eagle Vision" is too general.


And now? I didn't want to leave the Trade and Industry building, go think about a new name and then drive all the way out there again. So I had to come up with a name there and then.


In fact, the original name was going to be "Vida's 70/7 Vision". Nice v's in the name. Plus, when I thought of Vida's Vision I read up on the meaning of 20/20 Vision and when I understood it, I figured 70/7 would be great. Because it would mean I can see from 70meters away what other people can only see from 7meters away. What a visionary, hm? I loved it. But when I went to register this name I was told they don't allow numbers in the names of companies anymore. I thus had the farsighted eagle replace the 70/7 to still represent that extraordinary sight.


So I went from "Vida's 70/7 Vision" to "Eagle's Vision" to.... No "Trading" or "Enterprises" added, just this: VISIONWORKS. Great, hm? To have vision works, and the materialization of vision is evident from the works produced. I quite like it.


In the mean time the registered designs have arrived - in the name of Eagle Vision Enterprises. Well... such is life.
