Creating Australia\\u2019s second largest roast and ground coffee company, our conversation continues today w coffee-barista turned coffee-mogul. It\\u2019s a nice sound bite but what we are really interested in is how he took a vision and made it manifest.\\xa0 Nat & I have been drinking Di Bella coffee for years in Brisbane and so when sipping on a much-sought espresso in Abbottsford Road NYC, we really felt the global success of this humble coffee roaster!

His company was recognised in the 2006, 2007 and 2009 \\u2018Business Review Weekly Fast 100\\u2019. Guided by a clear vision that \\u201cThe greatness is in the detail\\u201d, this entrepreneur remained steadfast amongst many critics.\\xa0 His ability to hold a vision was described in the book \\u201cEntrepreneurial Intelligence\\u201d and I can tell you by all the highlighted portions of Nat\\u2019s tattered copy, that this is an intriguing read.

The stamina running through Phil Di Bella has recently been displayed by his incredible feat of losing 70kgs in one year!\\xa0 I can\\u2019t wait to find out how he did it and what\\u2019s next for someone who has been gunning for his vision over the past 16yrs alongside his wife Gianna and now sold the company.

Meet Phil:
Entrepreneurship is a way of life and intelligence for me, not a title. Every project that I embark upon, my goal is to do it different or better than anyone else. It was this passion and entrepreneurial spirit that led me to start up my first business venture, a small coffee-roasting operation in the suburbs of Brisbane in 2002.\\xa0

I identified a gap in the coffee market. There was no local coffee company that successfully matched the quality of their products with excellent customer service and a strong brand, all at a reasonable price. This business grew from a start up to the largest of its kind in Australia before I sold it 12 years later.\\xa0

I strive to make my group of companies matter to customers. I want to ensure that I am relevant in the future am continually looking at innovative ways to do so. I am not limited by my available resources; I am continually looking to fill the void in the market to meet customer\\u2019s needs and solve problems.\\xa0

My mantra is \\u2018tomorrow better than today\\u2019. My goal is to continue building and improving and use our achievements to fuel our momentum and keep moving forward to bigger and better things.\\xa0

I never rest on the laurels of my success but continue to pursue new ventures through which to challenge myself, and seek opportunities to develop or share my skills. I continue to strive as a leader in my industry and as an entrepreneur, and am always challenging myself personally and professionally whilst ensuring to give back to community.
