That ’ s the question we ’ re looking to answer in our cover story : Winning Traits of Young Leaders . For some , it takes his or her whole life to climb to the top ; others are there by 25 or 30 . Business Review Australia investigated the country ’ s leading young minds to figure out what makes them successful at such a young age .
Much of the rest of our editorial this month is catered to the small business , an integral part of Australia ’ s business DNA . “ Challenges of Raising Capital For Small Businesses ,” breaks down the issues — and the solutions — SMBs encounter when trying to fund their operation . Social media plays a huge part in many SMBs ’ success , so we covered both continuous branding , which is made much easier with social media , and Australia ’ s most visited social media platforms , which can give you and your company an idea of the best place to spend your time interacting with customers .
With contributor Colin McCabe , senior manager at Red Hat , providing insight into cloud strategies , this issue can provide advice and guidance for many different areas in your SMB .
Enjoy the issue !
