How does one become a featured blogger? Does one pay to become featured? If so, I've missed that somehow. Not to complain about Kristin's fashion blog that only has 3 entries total (three in a month) but I've been publishing a fashion industry blog (with over 1400 entries) for the past three and half years, post every day M-F and I contribute here quite frequently. It's the number one blog of its kind on the web. Is there something I'm missing? My site is all about the ins and outs of how to start a clothing line (and as such, a good topical and related site) but not a consumer related blog dispensing fashion advice which Kristen's blog seems to be based on what is there.

While no one knows where their new venture will ultimately take them, the # 1 problem I see over and over again is that entrepreneurs don't consider which direction they'd like to go.
Most of us have heard Stephen Covey encourage us to "begin with the end in mind.." But, very few take this to heart with planning an "exit strategy."
If from the beginning you consider the possibility of selling your business to a private 3rd party, (most common outcome for small to mid-size companies,) it's easier to understand everything from choosing your entity to organizing your finances to tax planning, and so on.
Is there anyone here at Startup Nation blogging on these issues?

I recently started blogging and would welcome readers and comments:
I am interested in feedback. I have an MBA in Sustainable Business and work as a business advisor. What are you interested in? Let me know and maybe I can write about it.
Thanks,

Hey Rich
Saw you on Donny's show tonight and wanted to say hello. I have some challenges in my business and I always learn new things from Donny and his guests. I am looking forward to jump starting my writing and producing business with your help. I have a great TV project I have developed but need to get pilot money to be able to present it to the networks. Have the number one person in the sport attached and have a 4 time EMMY Winning Director on board. looking for sponsors and or funds to produce the pilot. Any suggestions
Best Regards
Laszlo Klima

hey, laszlo! welcome to StartupNation. i or others here in our community will surely be a big help. just start probing with your questions and people will start offering advice.
jycmba, that topic is handled more generally within the various blogs that exist. i love that you're implying that you need to know your end game in order to structure a successful business.
