Alba International Pty has outlined what it takes to become a strong business leader in today's economy:

Sharpen your problem solving skills
The best ideas when running a business are often the most simple. Looking for a gap in the market and then drawing on life experiences can help generate inspiration. "Great ideas can come from your own frustrations", says Alba International Pty, "if there is a problem you feel needs solving, what better person to do it than yourself."

Be resilient
To succeed in running a small business a person must possess a huge array of skills but must also be tough enough to handle rejection. Not everyone will succeed straight away points out Alba International Pty, they must be tough enough to get back up and try again.

Always have a winning mind-set
Mental strength is arguably one of the most important attributes needed to run any business. Going into any business venture a person should always try and find room for improvement in what they do. Successful entrepreneurs don't believe in perfection says Alba International Pty, they believe there is always room for improvement.

Become a strategic thinker
Good leaders should plan out their business strategy thoroughly in order for their SME to become a success story. They should set out their goals, procedures and approaches carefully before they put anything into practice. This is about setting a clear objective, devising a strategy and then taking the tactical steps needed, says Alba International Pty.
