Make my site visible to the public
-
I have already registered my domain and have completed a few blog entries. I would like to make these visible to the public, however, when I go to my browser and enter my domain it just takes me to a GoDaddy page, which is where I registered the domain but I selected hosting through WP. How do I publish what I’ve done to my primary URL: http://www.BuildWinningSalesTeams.com?

re: mapping an existing domain
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.
If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

You also need to point the name servers to WordPress.COM per the link above for mapping an existing domain – you seem to have purchased domain mapping but the name servers seem to still be pointing to Goddady
