Step One: Choose a Business using the [|Brainstorm] Structure (All Team Members)
As a team, brainstorm ideas of products (goods) or services that you may want to choose for your Business. Once all ideas have been heard and recorded, determine your "Top Three Choices".

Step Two: Connect [|Wants/Needs] with Products/Services (All Team Members)
As a team, explore what are "wants" and what are "needs". Determine what category your Top Three Choices are. Decide which one of your top three choices will be the best.

Step Three: Name your Business (All Team Members)
A name is power! Decide as a team what the name of your business should be. You can re-visit the Brainstorm Tips if needed. Are you stuck? Try the [|Random Business Name Generator].
