There’s no doubt about it: Australia is a nation of small business owners and managers. More Aussies are employed by small businesses than medium and large businesses – just over 42%. In other words, if you’re not working in a small business now, there’s a strong chance you will be later in your career. In fact, you might be one of the thousands of Australians who launch their own business each year.

Great leaders aren’t born, they’re made. It takes experience, determination and a bit of elbow grease to become an effective manager. One of the most important steps you can take is learning how to make smarter business decisions. And smarter human decisions.
According to a survey by CPA Australia, the top priorities of fast growing small businesses include good staff (28%, compared to 21.5% of non-growing businesses) and improved business management (27.8%, vs 12.9%). In other words, SMEs that put HR and management at the top of their to-do list are more likely to succeed. As a future leader and manager, you’ve got real power to shape the success of your organisation.

Stats suggest a shift toward independent contracting, with almost 10% of Aussie workers already independent contractors (ICs). If this trend continues, it'll be the norm in the next 20 years. Being an IC involves more than tax and accounting—it's about marketing yourself.
