Tens of thousands of small business owners around Australia are running a micro business from the kitchen table or managing small teams of employees in a bigger (small) business. For many, the frustrations and struggles of business have them close to the brink, and they have lost sight of their original vision of success. It's not that they don't want to succeed or get the business breakthrough that they are striving for, it's just that the skills and tools of starting a business are very different to those required to grow a business. Anybody can learn these skills; it's just that not many have ever slowed down and committed to doing so, but this is what is required to bring a business back from the edge and beyond.

Stefan Kazakis has run his own small businesses in multiple industries for over 20 years, and he has helped hundreds of business owners take their businesses to new heights--often from the brink or a level that was not the ideal. In this inspiring book, From Deadwood to Diamonds, he shares his practical, no-nonsense approach to turning a business around. But he doesn't hold back the brutal truth that success is about commitment and digging deep; you are required to make a consistent effort. With formulas, techniques, tools, systems, and tips, Stefan shows you how to unlock the profit potential in your business to achieve real and ongoing business success. Tested and proven!

Stefan has earned a reputation as a leading business strategist for small business owners, many of whom he has coached to extreme profit growth, award-winning success, and a greater quality of life. He is leading a community of future diamonds in business.
