This is one, a note to my future self: Don’t call your projects ‘startups’. It’s a semantic trick, but a really important one. Here’s why. ‘Startups’ have become a commodity in an industry of startup conferences, websites, courses and competitions.

Imagine this scary scenario: a website owner or administrator logs in to their website at the beginning of the day only to be met with a blank screen, an ominous “you’ve been hacked” message or, even worse, a mysterious redirect to an unsavory site which all visitors, clients and customers now have the unfortunate experience of viewing.

From their earliest incarnations decades ago, the one constant theme of search engines is change. Indeed, today’s Google, Yahoo and others barely resemble their clunky ancestors who returned sloppy and often meaningless listings for even simple searches. But then, with the advent of Search Engine Optimized tools, quality returns suddenly became the norm and relevant results were widely expected.

There is no instruction manual for building a brand. A brand position and reputation is something that is slowly built up and earned over time. That said, as you are planting the early “seeds” of your brand, the actions you take from the start of your business, will dictate where your brand is heading long term. It is important you get this right, as it is often more difficult to change a tarnished brand image, than it is to start from scratch.
