I remember one brutal season doing the January accessory show in New York, flying to Hong Kong to walk their trade show and meet with suppliers, then back to the US to do Magic in Las Vegas, back to NY to do Coterie , and then to Paris to do Premiere Classe.

If you don’t own your site’s name, someone else can beat you to it and in essence own the space and have a right to all of your content and income and also they may have other damages that they can be awarded that can go well beyond that.

If you haven’t read about why, here is my post that explains the name in detail (hint: it is about a truly amazing woman, my mom). The attitude is, “that is what I hired you for”.
