In 15 months, Mark and Liana from Diamond Tree Jewellers grew their revenue by around 35% — without adding a single staff member.
In this testimonial they share how they did it:
✅ Working smarter, not harder — dropping time-costly jobs and focusing on higher-value work
✅ Understanding their numbers (even as people who “don’t like math much”)
✅ Systems, scheduling and AI that run the business so they can focus on customers
✅ Turning a significant ATO debt into “far less stressful”
✅ Outgrowing their shop — and stepping into new premises 5–6× bigger
And the heart behind it all: treating the business as God’s, not theirs — and stewarding it well.
Their advice to anyone considering joining Kingdom Business Builders? “Do it now. Like yesterday.”
When Jared bought Zion Coach Services in July 2024, he went from manager to owner overnight. The business was turning over roughly $60K a month when he purchased it
Since then, he has:
Lifted monthly revenue from about $60K to a $97K average this year
Had the first $1 million year in the business’s history
Made $230K profit in two years
Added about 8 new buses using the war chest method, bought outright with no debt
Taken on 10+ new drivers, plus extra office and cleaning staff
Just as importantly, those profits are now funding Kingdom impact, including homes for people in need and the Bible Society.
In this conversation, Jared shares with Gav Bassett what changed, why he grew steadily rather than quickly, and what he’d say to anyone wondering if they need a coach. His answer? “You don’t know how much you don’t know until you get someone who does know.”
After three years sitting around the $15 million mark, Peter and Alex from Industrial Recruitment Partners (IRP) decided it was time to stop guessing about what came next.
Gav Bassett has worked with IRP for 14 years. After a few years’ break, they came back together and spent three to four months building a five-year strategic plan to take the business from $15 million to $35 million.
This wasn’t a day in a room with a whiteboard. In this conversation,
Peter and Alex share:
Why the plan was built over months, not a single meeting
Why Peter believes you can’t grow without a plan
Why $35 million is the number, and what makes $15 million feel fragile
How breaking a big goal into smaller steps keeps the team from feeling overwhelmed
How the process changed the way they think about matching account managers to clients
What they’d say to anyone considering strategic planning Peter’s advice? Only do it if you’re prepared to invest fully, because “without the why, it’ll never fly.”
James from Halo Digital felt directionless, like he was working his way into the ground.
Now he can see a clear path ahead. There’s still plenty of work to do, but he says that work has purpose.
The biggest change wasn’t only in the business. James used to feel he could just get his work done, then tithe or give, and that was the part God cared about. Through the group mentoring, he came to see that God is interested in the specifics of his business and wants to lead it.
In this short conversation with Gav Bassett, James shares:
As James puts it, there’s no set way that gets imposed on you. It’s “an atmosphere or a culture of encouragement to seek God and find what God has for you.”
Neil Woollacott from Realty Force South doesn’t have a business partner. Working with Gav Bassett gives him the next best thing: godly wisdom and input into all his business decisions, and another frame of reference.
Neil has worked with other coaches before, and he’s upfront about the difference. Gav costs more, but in his words, “it is well worth the money.”
In this short conversation, Neil shares:
Ray Briene from Geckoblue Australia knew what he’d been called to do. What he needed were the tools and the ways of actually achieving it.
Coaching with Gav Bassett gave him that. In Ray’s words, it unlocked a pathway, along with a new way of communicating with the Lord and hearing from him.
In this short conversation, Ray shares:
His message to anyone considering it? “You don’t know what you’re missing.”

We have worked with Gavin for the past 3 years. In that time Gavin has opened our minds to the possibility of owning and running a successful business. We, like most small business owners, had no background in running and managing a business and from year to year found ourselves getting busier and busier without the financial reward.
Using Gavin’s processes, systems and instruction we have been able look at the business through a different lens and with his knowledge and mentoring, we have learned how to read the numbers and build the systems to allow the business to scale up all while giving us more time.
The best thing is we have made a great friend that invests and cares as much about us and our business as we do, so I highly recommend Gavin’s coaching and mentoring for your business.

After a decade or so in business I became stuck. I was trying to work on the business and move it forward but felt like I was spinning my wheels and going nowhere. Gavin introduced me to an approach to business which has brought clarity, direction and a more peaceful way forward.
There is now much less struggle and striving, and more confidence, which now has me working on the right things at the right time. Not only has this been a much better approach for my mental health, and we have also seen better numbers in the business and growth.

Having been in business for over 25yrs I have learnt that there are many complexities to running and owning a business. It is easy to feel overwhelmed, as we try to keep all the plates spinning and in the air.
What Gavin has been able to successfully do, is build a system and process that teaches business owners how to systemises, operate and run a business the right way. From selecting the right team to setting budgets, understanding money, products, services, marketing and everything in between, there is a system for them ALL, and he teaches in a way that he makes the complex simple to follow, understand and implement.
I am grateful to have received firsthand the richness of his knowledge, wisdom and generosity that’s available through his coaching and mentoring!

Starting a business from scratch was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. I had some industry experience, a few contacts, and three months’ worth of cash — enough to scrape by. Like many, I believed determination and past experience would be enough, and in the first year we grew to a small team of three.
But it wasn’t until I met Gavin at a seminar that I realised how little I truly knew about running a business. Despite my qualifications and background, the growth and development of my company depended on skills and knowledge I had never been taught.
Business coaching became the turning point. Gavin’s challenge to me was: “work harder on yourself than you do in your job” and this reshaped my mindset, and what I learned through coaching became pivotal in scaling a fledgling business into a $25 million operation within five years.
More than that, it gave me the freedom to step back, build a business that works without me, and live the life I once dreamed of. Coaching opened my eyes to what every business owner must learn: success comes from a formula of goals, plans, and actions — and like world-class athletes, business owners need a coach to bring out their best.

When I first connected with Gav for coaching, my idea of success was simply having enough jobs to cover the bills and keep busy. That was my measure of achievement back then.
I was so focused on chasing the next dollar that I couldn’t see the bigger picture. But after years of doing the same thing and getting the same results, it was with Gav’s guidance that I finally began to shift. Through his process and education, I learned the huge difference between just working in a business and truly owning and operating one.
His guidance, accountability, and practical strategies have completely changed the way I think and act as a business owner. Today I’m proud to employ 10 people (and growing), now managing a multi-million dollar business, and I feel more in control, confident, and genuinely successful than I ever imagined. The change hasn’t only been in the business itself but also in my mindset as a leader.
I’m extremely grateful for the journey Gav has guided me on, and I’d highly recommend his coaching and training to anyone serious about building not just a job for themselves but a business that grows, thrives, and supports a team.

Before we met Gavin, around 2008, We had used a business coach already but were left a bit underwhelmed with what we felt was a very basic process with no hands-on guidance and explanation of why the changes and adaptations being proposed were necessary for us and the business
Gavin’s methods cut through the existing status quo and "habits” and you are kept accountable to what you are working on and so for us success has been the outcome.
I clearly remember the immediate sense of "this is going change everything” and how this made me excited and Gavin’s response to me then has stuck with me ever since, "What we’re doing here will accelerate everything that is happening in your business” which I immediately thought was very positive. But Gavin elaborated with: "that's everything good but also everything bad and that's a good thing; you can’t see the bad stuff yet but you need to know what it is so you can deal with now.
I have returned to Gavin on a number of occasions for advise on unique situations but more recently we have again returned to Gavins hands on approach as part of a transition in our business from the old guard to the new management team and again the impact has been all that we had hoped for.

Working with Gav as I’ve prepared my business for growth has been both encouraging and transformative. I’ve gained practical insights, clarity and confirmation in my direction, and the courage to pursue it wholeheartedly.
The regular accountability has kept me moving forward even when things became busy or difficult. Gav has stood with me every step of the way, cheering me on whether I was stumbling or taking a leap of faith—and that steady and regular support has made all the difference.

The coaching really helped give me the confidence to say no more, go back to my numbers for clarity, break bigger jobs down with the team, know my worth and charge accordingly. It’s helped me to run business on my terms.

The business knowledge and ability to implement systems and procedures through this process is second to none.
Through over 10 years working together we grew our business more than 300% and from 10 team members to 50+.
Gavin helped transform our business and find solutions to challenges as they occurred.
I am sure you will find the same results by joining one of his programs.
