When you enter the Journeys module, you are presented with a global directory table of your active tracking environments:

Clicking the Start New Journey button triggers a dropdown menu panel titled SELECT A JOURNEY TO START, prompting you to select from five guided track environments:

<div _ngcontent-ng-c2170363542="" class="container" id="bkmrk-build-and-grow-your-"><div _ngcontent-ng-c1323015604="" aria-busy="false" aria-live="polite" class="markdown markdown-main-panel enable-updated-hr-color" dir="ltr" inline-copy-host="">- Build and grow your startup from idea to success (Blue Rocket Icon): The active primary track focused on complete end-to-end business execution.

</div></div>### Brand Association Modal

When you select a track type to start a new journey, a modal window explicitly titled Brand Association appears, prompting you to decide how to link your new journey to a business entity.

#### Option 1: Use an Existing Brand

[![Screenshot 2026-05-21 141121.png](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2026-05-21-141121.png)](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/screenshot-2026-05-21-141121.png)

Selecting the Use an existing brand radio button configures the modal with the following fields:

- Select a brand Dropdown: A selection menu field (e.g., defaulted to Untitled Brand) where you can click to choose from your already established business profiles.
- Title: A text field to input the specific name or title for this new journey setup (Enter a title for the journey).
- Description: A multi-line text block to add descriptive details or goals for this specific roadmap path (Enter a description for the journey).

#### Option 2: Create Journey Without a Brand

[![Screenshot 2026-05-21 141358.png](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2026-05-21-141358.png)](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/screenshot-2026-05-21-141358.png)

Switching to the Create journey without a brand radio button alters the modal layout by removing the brand selector dropdown and replacing it with an informational alert:

- System Information Banner: A light blue notification box appears with a clear message stating: “You can create a brand profile during the journey.”
- Title: The standard text input field remains to name your journey environment (Enter a title for the journey).
- Description: The multi-line text block remains available to record your initial pathway notes (Enter a description for the journey).

#### Modal Actions (Both Views)

Regardless of the radio selection, two control items sit at the bottom right corner to finalize the form:

- Cancel: A text link button to abort the journey creation process and return to the main dashboard menu.
- Continue: A solid blue button to save your brand preferences and load into your new journey canvas space.
