Dear SmartCompany reader,

Today we examine the collapse of franchise food chain Souvlaki Hut, which apparently has a buyer waiting in the wings, and look at the sale of Australian web success story RetailMeNot, which is the biggest coupon site in the world. Plus, we examine a new report on the NBN’s potential benefits, and meet five rich listers who have turned a $1 million investment into $500 million in one year. And in Entrepreneur Watch, James Thomson looks at how technology and the GFC has retrained consumers. And don't miss our new blogger, Ms Manners.

For all this and more, head to our home page.

When you're starting out, you need to think of all the obstacles your product is going to encounter. They will be operating in environments not known to you, and that can cause problems. You need to think about what those will be, and then focus on them straight away, not go back and fix them later on.
