Aspiring business owner, where do I even start? LLC, DBA, name, all of it feels overwhelming

I’ve been wanting to start a business for a while now, but every time I try to take the first step, my mind just goes blank.

I can’t even come up with a name, and then I start overthinking the legal side of things. Do I need an LLC, a DBA, or a corporation right away? Or is that something you figure out later?

This is all completely new to me, and I feel like there are a million directions I could go in. For those who’ve started from scratch, what did your actual first steps look like?

Did you start with the idea, the name, or the legal setup? Just looking for some clarity so I can stop overthinking and actually begin.
