I have been in the BGM - Growth School for a year now and my business has transformed and grown due to the program, the staff and members who push you to be better. Over the last 18 years running start-ups I have been involved in a lot of programs, by far this one has been the best, its not just the content or skills workshops its the accountability from your peers that make it what it is. You learn so mush from your peers setback and wins and they from you. This is a program for business owners who what to push beyond the next level and who is willing to do the hard yards!

I am thrilled to share my experience with Growth School, where under the guidance of Kristian, Simone, and Bonnie, I have seen remarkable business transformation. In just three months, their expertise has empowered me to craft a robust business strategy and strategic plans, leading to an extraordinary 800% increase in revenue. As I stand on the brink of scaling my business, I credit much of this success to the insightful monthly game plan sessions facilitated by the BGM team. What truly sets Growth School apart is the incredible community of business owners it brings together. This vibrant tribe not only celebrates each other’s victories but also provides a platform for accountability, motivation, and practical support. Whether it’s bouncing ideas around, tackling challenges, or sharing strategies, the sense of camaraderie is unparalleled. For any business owner eager to achieve exponential growth within a nurturing and motivational environment, I cannot recommend Growth School enough. It’s more than an institution; it’s a catalyst for profound business success.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The first question I get asked about my service is "How much does it cost?" I did not have confidence when presented with that question. Always felt that I had to compete with others around me. I didn't truly believe in my worth and value. I needed to stop looking around me and focus on what really mattered. I felt stuck. Overwhelmed. Didn't know the best way to move forward. Then I met the team from Business Growth Mindset. What a difference that has made to me. I gained clarity and knowledge, which then gave me the confidence and mindset I needed to move forward in my business. It has been, and still is, growth on a personal and professional level. The support I have is brilliant and I am still growing in my space. It has been the best investment I have put into myself and my business. If you want to scale up your business with a group that truly cares, look no further. Remember that you cannot grow in comfort. Get uncomfortable, because that is where true growth happens.

There was a lot of easy to follow material, videos and pdfs with stencils for business as well as bi weekly q&a sessions. I wanted for nothing. I would recommend BGM for anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have gone through the Grow & Flourish program with Kristian; a full 3 – day in person one on one program, and some follow up workshops with Kristian and my team. First of all I was impressed with his ability to understand the business, the challenges and the opportunities at a rapid pace. The process followed to identify the business purpose, values and then the Strategic Plan was very well done! Working with Kristian was a real eye opener, not just from growing my business point of view, but also from “how to be persistent in maintaining a high level of self-discipline to maintain a super level of productivity to get things done”. I highly recommend Kristian for any growth, strategy and marketing related training, coaching and mentoring.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently attended the 1 day "Marketing for Growth" in person workshop with Kristian Livolsi and without a doubt, was the best value for money I have spent.  I walked away with so much value, tools to implement to help grow my business and help me get clearer on my target market.  Feeling very grateful that I took the time to invest in myself and make the effort to attend this event.  Can't wait for the next one!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Kristian has been an absolute game-changer for me. But it wasn’t always that way. Before connecting with Kristian, I soon found myself feeling like I was stuck in the same place—my business was healthy, but it wasn't growing. Without any structure, systems, or goals in place, I have struggled the last couple of years to take my business to the next level. After months of feeling stuck, I decided that it was time to take drastic action. So, I reached out to Kristian and embarked on a journey that changed everything. With Kristian’s help, I was able to create a clear 90-day plan as well as a 1-year plan that included structure and goals for my business. Not only did I feel more organised and focused, but I also gained clarity around who my target audience is—my “avatar”— my “Niche” so that instead of being everywhere at once, all my energy could be put into one specific area of focus. If you find yourself stuck in your professional journey like I did before reaching out for help from Kristian, don't hesitate! The best thing you can do is take action by connecting with someone who can provide the tools and strategies you need to level up your career quickly and efficiently. With their help, you too will be able to pave the way towards achieving your own professional success story!’ Lourene Bevaart
