For trade contractors $50k-$500k/month · 5+ staff

The bottleneck is always at the top of the bottle.

September's build: get every seat out of your head and onto a chart, hire into the gap, document the machine, and hand one seat to a leader who isn't you. No lock-in contract. We just expect you to stay twelve months.

September 2026 intake · 5 spots · $2,300/mo + GST

5 spots. One outcome. Build the machine that runs without you.

A hand-selected group of trade business owners building toward a million-dollar profit - with AI doing the work AI can do, so you can do the work only you can do.

You're not short of work. You're short of people who own something.

It's 7:40pm on a Tuesday. You're in the ute outside your own house, phone against the window, because the leading hand rang about a variation nobody else can approve. Turnover's up. You've got more blokes than you've ever had. And you're busier than you were at half the size.

That's not a work problem. That's a seats problem. Every decision still routes through you because you're the only one who knows how the job actually gets done. You didn't build a team. You built six part-time versions of yourself and gave them all your phone number.

The business grew. The structure didn't.

Scale the Team. Built in your first 30 days.

Four moves. Each one produces something the next one needs. By 30 September you'll have an accountability chart with the seats circled, a scorecard for the seat you're hiring into, two SOPs captured, one seat formally handed to a named leader, and a Q4 plan built on the capacity you've actually got.

A quiet pipeline is still the number one thing that kills good trade businesses. So we already built the fix.

August's build was the Bulletproof Pipeline - and it's not gone anywhere. It's built, recorded and sitting in the portal. Join in September and you get the lot on day one, plus the tools that came with it.

Because here's the thing about a pipeline: it doesn't die in the quiet month. It dies in the busy one. You're flat out, the marketing stops, the follow-up stops - and ninety days later the phone goes quiet and you can't work out why.

If that's your real problem, don't wait for us to come back around to it. It's ready now, and your first 90-day plan will put it to work.

Three leaks kill most pipelines: an invisible brand, follow-up that doesn't happen, and one or two lead sources. All three are fixable. All three are already built.

September 2026 - here's exactly what you're walking into.

Tuesdays are Simpro Live - the tool version of Wednesday's topic, the day before. Wednesdays are the training. Thursdays are open coaching - bring the thing that's stuck. All sessions recorded. S1: Map Your Team ran on 2 September and is waiting for you in the portal.

Your coaching runs on the same rhythm you'll run your business.

TCOS installs an operating rhythm in your business - a weekly team meeting, a monthly numbers review, a quarterly plan. The program runs on exactly the same beat. You don't just learn the rhythm. You live it, until it's how your business breathes.

Owners at your stage. Problems you actually have.

Running a trade business is lonely at the top. Your team can't hear your doubts. Your mates don't get it. Your partner's heard enough about cash flow. So you carry it - every pricing call, every hiring risk, every sleepless BAS - on your own.

The CEO Forum ends that. Once a month you sit down with a small group of trade business owners at exactly your stage - matched by size of business, so a $4M contractor isn't getting advice from someone who's forgotten what Valley 1 feels like, and a $1.5M owner isn't lost in problems they don't have yet.

• Hot seats. Bring the problem that's actually keeping you up. Get coached on it - by Peter and by owners who've solved it.
• Real numbers, real talk. What's working in their business this month. What isn't in yours. The stuff you can't say anywhere else.
• Your 90-day plan, checked. On track, off track, what's in the way - every single month.
• Owners only. No team, no staff. What's said in the room stays in the room.

Ask anyone who's been in a good peer group: the content gets you started - the room keeps you going.

Everything in.

$2,300/month + GST. No lock-in contract.

We expect twelve months. We just don't make you sign for it.

Here's how we do commitment, and I want to be straight about it.

There's no 12-month contract. Nothing to sign, nothing to get out of, no exit fee. You can stop any month you like.

But we only take owners who are coming for twelve months. Not because of the money - because of the maths. Six weeks gets you a better week. A quarter gets you a better quarter. Twelve months gets you a different business, because that's four planning cycles, four constraints removed, and enough time for the systems to hold under pressure.

The ones who get the results are the ones who front up every Wednesday for a year. Through the busy season. Through the quiet one. Through the month where nothing seems to be working and you'd rather be on the tools.

That's the price. Not the money - the year.

If you're not prepared to pay it, don't join. You'll waste your money and you'll waste my time. But if you are, we're not going to hold you to it with a contract. You'll stay because it's working.

Simple is not easy.

Most clients recover the full annual investment inside 90 days. The pipeline build alone would cost $40k+ as a standalone project - and you get it on day one.

5 spots. Hand-selected. Here's who September is for.
