Top 10 articles for 2012 from the Startup Blog

Startup Blog has been on line for about 2 years now.  Changes you may have noticed are inclusions of photos (I shot  most of them) and more real-life experience stories.  More than 200,000 have enjoyed the articles in Startup Blog and more than 50,000 have read the Examiner articles.  The topics and content are not identical and both are something intended to help you in starting a company and building it.  There is no one central theme because running a business requires many skills.  Developing those skills often comes from on-the-job training. 

The blog is designed to be educational and helpful.  New topics sometimes come from readers. They are welcome and encouraged.  Please feel free to engage and help make the blog more helpful to you by commenting and requesting more on select topics. 

The articles below were the top 10 for 2012.  Some surprised me as to how fast they rose in the rank.  I hope you read them all ready, but if you have not, here they are:
