What you get with Foundations
Everything inside Hypotential Foundations, Perth's network for trade business owners.
Let’s break it down…

Monthly workshops with Q&A
Don’t just learn it Put it to work
Once a month I run a live online workshop on a real topic: pricing, hiring, systems, marketing, stepping off the tools, matched to what Perth trade owners are actually dealing with that time of year. Then we open the floor.
- Work through real business challenges. Every month is a new topic tailored specifically to Perth trades across building team, sales processes, systems, marketing and more
- Get direct feedback. Every session ends with an open Q&A. Ask your questions or open them to the group, you’d be amazed how many others have the same challenges
- Turn learning into action. End each session with more support and guidance to know what you’re implementing next, then come back with your progress and questions

Perth's private trade network
Build your business With good people around you
Owning a trade business can get isolating quickly. Most people around you won’t fully understand the pressure, decisions or responsibility that comes with it.
Every two months, members come together in person across North, Central and South Perth to meet other trade business owners, build genuine connections and put faces to the names they see inside the community.
It’s not forced networking or handing out business cards. It’s about building a circle of people who understand the journey you’re on.
Want to go deeper on your own business? Foundations works well alongside 1:1 Coaching.
What you’d pay for this separately
Priced so any serious trade owner can start. Here’s what the pieces of Foundations would cost you to build or buy on your own.
Don't take my word for it
“I have known Kane professionally for almost a decade. In that time, he has expanded his business from a sole trader operation to a multi-faceted business. His success is down to his ability to recognise market opportunities, bringing out the best in his staff and working hard to achieve the goals he sets himself.”
