Growth groups, coaching, mentorship and expert masterclasses for trades, construction, manufacturing and engineering. Supporting startups, juniors and established businesses in Sydney.

Most business owners learn the hard way — through trial, error, and costly mistakes.
Hardnox was built to change that.
We exist to give ambitious people the mentorship, support, and tools they wish they had from the start.
Because real growth doesn’t come from books — it comes from experience, execution, and community.
This is the school that should’ve existed — but never did.

Real mentorship that saves you from:
Costly mistakes
Wasted time and broken systems
Missed opportunities and bad hires
Proven tools and templates to streamline your business
A network that actually has your back
Support from mentors who’ve done what you’re trying to do
This is the platform you need right now.

Nox isn’t just about shaking hands — it’s a structured, strategic advisory group where real growth is mapped, tracked, and achieved collectively
Because experience doesn’t always equal growth. Nox gives you new perspectives, high-level problem-solving, and a fresh edge to scale what’s already working.
It’s not another thing. It’s the thing that keeps your growth on track, your pipeline warm, and your strategy clear — month in, month out.
Coaching is one-to-one. Nox Collective is one-to-many. It’s a curated table of business minds, tackling challenges together with real accountability and industry insight.
Yes. Leads are short-term. Strategy is long-term. Nox is where business owners clear the fog, tighten their offers, and unlock what’s next.
No. While we specialise in property, construction, and the built environment, Nox welcomes aligned professionals, consultants, and specialists who serve these sectors.
That’s great — Nox isn’t a competitor. It’s a complement. We’re focused on curated advisory, not high-volume referrals. Think deeper, not wider.
You value growth. You’re not afraid of feedback. You want to give as much as you receive. If that sounds like you, you belong.
Every session is actionable. Members leave with frameworks, strategies, warm intros, and measurable next steps. No fluff. Just progress.
Yes. We keep each group tight and tailored. If you’re serious about growth, apply via the website and we’ll book a Discovery Session
