INTRODUCTION

hank you and welcome to the July 2016 edition of Modern Business
Magazine, Australia’s premier business lifestyle magazine.
In a world that places so much value on knowledge and expertise, having a bright
shiny CV positively glistening with academic accolades would appear be the
guaranteed passport to career success.
This might have been true in the past, no longer. What matters now is knowing
how to handle things when they go pear shaped and deal effectively with the tides
of uncertainty, the swell of change and the consequence of all our errors.

July 2016
Our state of mind is fashioned by our attitudes, values and beliefs established in
early childhood that are highly influenced by the people we spent the most time
with, (usually our parents) and individual experience.
Dr. Jenny Brockis is the Brain Fitness Doctor and she’s been kind enough to share
her knowledge and experience in how to shape our attitude so we can succeed in
any situation.
The first twelve months in business is the best time to refine habits that will
lead to your long term success. Celebrating the success of the startup’s launch
should be followed by an awareness that not only will this time be exciting but
the opportunity you sought to go out on your own and be successful must not be
wasted. Alan Manly shares his extensive experience owning and managing SMEs
and how to successfully navigate your first year as an entrepreneur.
As the world evolves the question of why is becoming more important than
questions of how and what. Knowing how to do something and what to do used
to give people a competitive advantage, whereas in today’s increasingly uncertain
and complex business world it is a pre-requisite. With the ubiquity of Google and
Wikipedia, holding information is irrelevant. Patrick Hollingworth investigates why
it’s how you make sense of that information, and how you act, that is important.
Plus we have some great contributions from a selection of world class
entrepreneurs and experts including Dr Jason Fox, Gabrielle Dolan, Ian Altman,
Gavin Sequeira, Joey Reiman, Asit Gupta, Malcolm McDonald and many more,
covering topics from leadership, sales & marketing, human capital, start-ups,
technology & innovations and much, much more.
Modern Business gives you the systems and strategies that make you and your
business smarter.
