You have an important business and you’ve attained a certain level of success. But how do you get to the next benchmark? How do you scale your business without burning out? Is it even possible to have a business where your team is engaged, customers are doing your marketing, and you have margin in your day-to-day life?
Many talented leaders just like you are struggling to scale up, build champion teams, and win their life back. The challenges you face are unique: long hours, stress, and the feeling that no one else really understands what it’s like to be responsible for everything. You deserve a trusted guide to get you from point A to point B.
Stefan Kazakis understands the unique set of challenges facing both aspiring and experienced business leaders today.
Stefan has spent more than two decades at the forefront of business and enterprise. Starting in textiles in the early 90s, he has since bought, built, and sold multi-million dollar businesses across the retail, hospitality, digital, logistics and manufacturing industries.
Organizations like Telstra, Westfield and NAB have achieved exponential growth through Stefan’s belief that team alignment and the power of people can help businesses be bigger, better and more successful.
Spurred on by requests from business owners to do for them what he did for his family business, Stefan put early retirement on the back-burner and has since dedicated his professional life to helping business owners get outstanding results.
He has been featured in numerous publications including Smart Company and is the author of From Deadwood To Diamonds: How Small Business Owners Can Come Back From the Brink and Achieve Big Business Success.

"Sign up with Stefan and you won't look back. I was struggling with the constant fight for survival in a cut-throat environment where massive corporates dominate our industry. Stefan helped me to see what I couldn't see. He has taught me to think laterally and has enabled me to have clear direction going forward. Our business has benefited so much from Stefan's mentoring."

"Special people deserve a special recognition, and Stefan Kazakis and his coaching program certainly fall into this category. The very refreshing difference between Stefan and other coaches is that I can certainly vouch for Stefan having his heart and soul in truly enabling lasting progress and advancement in one’s business. Only the serious business owners, “ones that truly wish to succeed and do the work” need apply … this is a “brutal truth” environment."
Here’s How You'll Succeed with the Diamond Club Advantage:
Sitting in the same chair in the same office keeps you from fresh thinking and new ideas. There’s nothing like growing alongside other forward-focused business leaders. Each quarter, we will meet for a 2-day meeting for strategic planning, masterminding, and networking with others in the BBG community. These in-person meetings are invaluable not just for the content, but for the connections you will make. The meetings will take place in early February, mid May, early August, and mid-November.
Accountability drives action. We will use Zoom video conferencing in between our in-person meetings to focus on strategic concepts. You will receive worksheets that help clarify your goals and apply what you’ve learned to grow your business forward. These are 90 minutes and will be delivered by Stefan personally on a monthly basis from April to February.
Diamond Club Board members also get direct access to our senior strategists. As part of your membership you get monthly private one-on-one consulting sessions, scheduled in between our in-person meetings and Group Strategic Sessions.

With a background in sales and marketing, working in senior roles within major food manufacturers in Australia, Jacqui Harvey made a life changing decision in 2008 to leave the corporate world and start her own business. Acquiring a 15-year-old business, Jacqui was faced with an exciting opportunity to utilise her strong sales, marketing, product development and food management skills. But it wasn’t always a ‘bed of roses’ and in 2016 Jacqui sought the help of Stefan Kazakis and the team at Business Benchmark Group.
