Yes, it’s highly recommended that you not only secure the names for your business but also your own personal name.
The reason for this is because, it’s likely that in the future you may want to switch your brand from a business to a personal brand, which we see many of our students do.
Therefore, by securing your name, if you decide to make this transition, you will have the social media handles and domains to make that transition easier.
You may find it difficult to secure the exact name you are looking for. In that case, you will need to create a variation of your name. For example, PaulOMahonySpeaker or OfficialPaulOMahony.
It’s also suggested you secure the names of each social media platform. For example, you may decide you want to leverage the power of YouTube in years from now. Well, at that point, you already have the names secured.
