All Hail Kofi Annan!

Wow!  Kofi Annan scores a perfect 100 on small business and new business development.  I'd love to hear more.

The Third World is "waiting for retail," Annan said, noting that six of the 10 fastest-growing economies are in Africa.

Companies entering these countries should work with small farmers and businesses in the region to best-reach the consumers, Annan said.

"I always tell big companies that they shouldn't need a law to offer fair wages or ensure that operations don't pollute drinking water," Annan said. "But I don't ultimately blame the companies, I blame the officials who let it happen."

It is a shame he threw away his best years leading the UN.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
