Build Businesses That Actually Work
Most entrepreneurial training focuses on theory. We focus on what happens when you're three months in and nothing's going to plan. Our autumn 2025 programme runs through practical decisions, real cash flow problems, and how to pivot without losing your shirt.
See How We Work
Why We're Different
You won't find motivational posters here. Just honest conversations about what it takes to run a sustainable business in Australia's current market.
Real Numbers
We walk through actual P&L statements, pricing strategies that work in regional markets, and how to forecast when you have no idea what next quarter looks like.
Small Cohorts
Twelve people maximum. Everyone gets attention, everyone contributes, and you actually remember each other's names by week two.
Ongoing Access
The programme ends in December, but the community doesn't. Monthly catch-ups, shared resources, and someone to call when things get messy.
What You'll Actually Learn
Most courses teach you to write a business plan. We teach you what to do when that plan falls apart by week three.
Cash flow management when clients pay late. Pricing decisions when you're competing with someone charging half your rate. How to know if an idea's worth pursuing or if you're just attached to it.
The uncomfortable conversations you'll need to have, and how to have them without burning bridges.
What the Programme Covers
Sixteen weeks, starting September 2025. Two evening sessions per week, plus one Saturday workshop each month.
Fundamentals Without the Fluff
Market research that doesn't require a consultancy budget. Business structure decisions that make sense for your situation. Legal basics that won't put you to sleep. Setting up systems before you need them.
Money Management
Building budgets that account for irregular income. Understanding your actual costs, not just what you hope they'll be. When to invest in growth and when to conserve cash. Tax planning that keeps you out of trouble.
What Past Participants Say
Hamish Kincaid
Regional LogisticsI'd been running my business for two years before this programme, mostly making it up as I went. The cash flow module alone probably saved me from some serious mistakes. Worth it just for learning how to actually price my services.
Freya Lindström
Consulting PracticeThe most valuable part was having other people in the room who understood what you're dealing with. Not cheerleaders, just people who get it. That network's been more useful than any textbook.
Ready to Start?
Applications for our September 2025 cohort open in May. Spots are limited because we keep groups small. If you're serious about building something sustainable, let's talk.
