Hey, what's up everybody?

Pat Flynn here and welcome to episode 585.

585 of Ask Pat.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

All right.

Here's today's question from Daryl.

Hi, Pat. My name's Daryl Hall. I'm a regular listener of smart passive income and ask Pat. I'd like to thank you

for everything that you do. I don't yet have an online business or any business for that matter,

but it's something that I've always wanted to do

and something I intend to do at some point in the future. And I'd like your opinion on whether or not

I should use my somewhat famous name or not, and whether that's more of a positive or more of a

negative or if it's neutral. I'd love your thoughts. Thanks.

Hey, Darrell, thank you so much for the question today. I think it's a very interesting question actually. And one that's actually

really important because a lot of us have names that other people have too. And the number one thing

you want to do is stand out and be different. And I know a lot of people who have had names of famous people in the

niche that they were getting into and they've actually changed their name or actually use some

variation of it so that they could have something unique. And I think this is a very smart thing to do.

You don't ever want to try and piggyback off somebody else who has the same name because you're

always going to be second to them online

in terms of search engine rankings and findings and you don't want to have people be confused.
