Ghana 2015 : Middle Income Country
Challenges await Ghana as it becomes a middle income country:
One of the costs is marshalling development assistance to support the government’s poverty reduction agenda. "Meanwhile many countries including Ghana, which have achieved Middle Income Status continue to face the same structural problem afflicting low income countries and need to boost incomes in order to meet the MDGs," he stressed.
According to the Minister, the reality of the situation was that despite the impressive outlook of the Ghanaian economy, there were still challenges which would require external support to address, adding that aid would continue to be an important source of financing as Ghana worked towards achieving MDGs.
However, the Minister noted that Government had taken cognisance of the need to reduce independence on aid in the medium to long term and therefore intended to redouble at mobilising non-aid resources.

When is it the Time to Start a Business?
You’re 18, fresh out of high school. You’re 22, fresh out of uni. You’re 35, married with kids. You’re 55 and the kids have left home. You’re 65 and wish you started that business. Don’t worry, you’re not too old.
There is never going to be a perfect time to start your own business or turn an idea into reality. But there are better times than others and identifying that better time is vital. There are a few questions you can ask yourself to help you decide.

California’s Tax Problem
Ed. Note : Some argue for the abolition of the taxes all together or a flat tax, but really we can’t expect a tax based on "presences" to be appropriately levied. Will the job situation be fixed in 18 months? If it is, expect unions and "innovation" to take a back seat- the problems that were left for this administration make me hope that we do not enter yet another lost decade.
The result of this bill is that any out-of-state retailer will *not* have to collect sales tax if they sever business relationships with a large swath of contractors, service providers, ad networks and affiliates that have a presence in California.
If you are a company that in any way makes a commission or markets on behalf of another company as your monetization, you are in danger.
If you are a contractor, web host of some kind or other service provider that is even peripherally facilitating the sale of a product in any fashion, you are in danger of out-of-state retailers canceling their contracts. This could include web design, web hosting (including out-of-state hosts with a server in California), coding, mobile apps, you name it.
