    Need opinion on business name

    Always go for a name that's personable or easy to say! You don't have to use your name or location, but it's better to use a name that's linked to who you are, where you are or what you do. You can combine a word you like, that's related to your business, with part of your name. Hope that helps.

    I want to give up the job I hate and give back to the community. HELP!!

    Yes, OP needs to find people to contribute to the idea. However, OP has shown he's looking to start a charity. If OP starts it, they will have a lot of control, no? I agree with mission creep, but not always true depending on the approach.

    Here's a suggestion: Create a small charity to improve your local area, not necessarily the environment, to give back to your community.

    I like the idea of creating packages, it gives your clients a choice and this also gives them an idea of what you'll be producing for them. Great shout.
