Women Build & Own

Stop giving away what you build.

Founding membership · $97 a month · 25 seats

You're building. A business, a career, a comeback. Maybe all three at once.

And you've built before. Rebuilt, too. Maybe more than once.

You're not looking for a cheerleader or another course.

You're looking for the women. The peers who get it. The mentors who've been there. The family you get to choose.

Women who won't just cheer you on. They'll help you get financially free, to your first million or your next one.

This is that room. Women who build, and get it done.

Founding members lock in $97 a month.

The founding class is capped at 25 seats. On January 1, 2027, the rate goes to $147 for new members. Yours never does.

Join by Thursday, November 5, and you're invited to a private founders' call that day at noon Eastern.

The mission

Your first million, or your next. Financially free.

Let's be real. We're here to help women build to their first million, or their next, and get financially free. Not someday. With a number, a plan, and a date on it.

Free means your name on the assets and your hand on the decisions. Nobody's permission required. Married or single, that matters. Plenty of women find out too late whose name was on what.

And a financially free woman doesn't stop with herself. She builds businesses and hires. She mentors the women coming up behind her. She gives back to her community, with capital, not just time she can't spare.

Financially free women change families, businesses, and communities. That's what this room is for.

You'll know if this is you

You've built more than most people ever will. You just don't lead with it.

  • Maybe it was a company. Maybe a career or a client base. Maybe a team that hit numbers your name never got attached to, or a community nobody paid you to build. Maybe a family. Maybe a comeback. Maybe all of it, more than once.
  • You have lessons you paid full price for, and the honesty to admit the gaps you're still filling.
  • First business or third. Scaling up or starting over. Or one decision away from leaving what pays you to build what's yours. The room holds all of it. That's the point.
  • You've learned who shows up when it breaks. You're done building alone either way.
  • Married, single, divorced, widowed, or starting over. Kids, no kids, grown kids. There's a seat for you here.
  • And somewhere in you is the next part. You want to lift other women while you climb, and leave the whole room richer than you found it.
Inside the room

The map, the method, and the women beside you.

Somewhere back there is a dream you never got to. Maybe you always wanted to own a business. Maybe you own one, and the real number in your head is eight figures. Maybe the dream got shelved chapters ago, and you stopped saying it out loud.

The dream was never the problem. The missing map was.

Reverse engineering is the map. We work backward, from where you want to be, to the year, to the quarter, to what you do this week. A dream with a date on it is a plan.

The BUILD Method™ is how we move on it. Five steps, in order, each one earning the next:

B

Build the foundation. Start where you actually are. The truth, the numbers, the facts. No spin.

U

Uncover what you already have. You're not starting from zero. Your story, your scars, and your hard-won knowledge are assets.

I

Install the resilience. Multiple paths, real reserves, structural toughness. Resilience isn't a feeling. It's how you're built.

L

Live in the work. Operations, not conversations. The grind isn't a phase you push through. It's where you live.

D

Deliver. No matter what. Hard times come in formation. You deliver anyway.

The BUILD Method™ by Jennifer Makeeff.

And the women beside you

A map and a method only take you part of the way alone. Members mentor members. The woman ahead of you has been where you are. The woman behind you has the question that sharpens your thinking. Every seat gives and receives. Wins get celebrated. Hard weeks get backup.

These are the confidants you can trust. The women you ask the vulnerable questions. The ones you call before the big leap. The ones you ask how to actually do the thing.

On the days nobody else is cheering you on, this room will. On the days you're so deflated you just need to collapse, you can do it here. Then we help you get back up.

And this is the fastest-moving moment of our lifetimes, tilted toward the builder for once. Solopreneurs are hitting seven figures without a team. You no longer need headcount to build big.

What you get

Every week, a room that builds with you.

  • A live build session every Tuesday at noon Eastern. That's 9 am Pacific, 5 pm London, 6 pm Paris. The format changes week to week. Some weeks we teach: money, pricing, AI, hiring, the next move. Some weeks a member brings a real situation and we work it together, live. Some weeks we set goals, hold each other to them, and celebrate the wins. The first session is Tuesday, November 10. A second weekly time, chosen by the founding class, will cover Asia-Pacific and other schedules.
  • The business. The BUILD Method™ applied to your company, your career move, or the idea still on a napkin. Built to hold, and built to stay yours.
  • The money. 22 Days to Financial Freedom™. Your number, your cashflow, and the plan underneath it.
  • The AI. Workflows you can use the same week. The team you can't afford yet, from tools you already have.
  • The member app, all week. Ask a question. Pitch an idea. Get help figuring out how to do something. Women who answer between sessions, and who show up when it breaks.

Women who build, and get it done.

The first six weeks

Six Tuesdays. Six things you'll walk away with.

  1. Nov 10

    Know your number.

    What your life actually costs, and what every working day has to bring in. Leave knowing yours.

  2. Nov 17

    The Standards™. Be the Four Seasons of your industry.

    Not charging the most. Delivering more than anyone expects, every time, with the follow-through, systems, protocols, and procedures that make it possible.

  3. Nov 24

    Get ten hours back with AI.

    Workflows you set up that week. The team you can't afford yet, and no more feeling behind.

  4. Dec 1

    Stop being the bottleneck.

    Systems, the first hire, and the Two-Week Test™. Could your business run without you for two weeks?

  5. Dec 8

    Protect what you build.

    Contracts, partnerships, and ownership. Stop giving away what you build, on paper.

  6. Dec 15

    Your 2027 plan, and year-end money moves.

    Work backward from the year to the first week of January. Build your Oh Crap Fund and get ahead before the new year. Leave with your plan on paper.

Holiday break December 22 and 29. The member app stays open.

A note from Jennifer

I built a service company from scratch while fighting for my life. I steered it through COVID when service businesses were dying around us, and brought it back bigger. Then my health made the call, and I had to let it go.

Those lessons cost me full price. What they taught me is simple. The building was never the hard part. Building alone was.

Caroline and I are building the room we wish we'd had. Women who build, and get it done.

Questions

Before you join.

Who is this for?

Women who have built something and aren't done. Owners, operators, executives, and women one decision away from building their own thing. First business or third.

When do we meet?

Every Tuesday at noon Eastern, live on Zoom, starting Tuesday, November 10. That's 9 am Pacific, 5 pm London, and 6 pm Paris. The founding class will choose a second weekly time for Asia-Pacific and other schedules. You get the link and a calendar invite by email after you join.

What if I miss a session?

Post it in the member app. Ask your question, pitch your idea, or ask for help any day of the week. The room keeps moving, and you move with it.

How many founding seats are there?

Twenty-five. When they're gone, the founding rate closes, even before January 1. Small on purpose, so every woman gets real time in the room.

What happens on January 1, 2027?

The rate for new members goes to $147 a month or $1,470 a year. If you join before then, your founding rate stays as long as your membership stays active.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel anytime. If you cancel in your first 30 days, we refund you in full. If you leave and come back later, you rejoin at the current rate.

Is this financial or legal advice?

No. Women Build & Own is an education and community program. Talk with your own advisors about your specific situation.

Your seat is open

The room is forming now. Take your seat.

The first session is Tuesday, November 10. Founding members lock in $97 a month or $970 a year, for as long as they stay.

Not ready today? Leave your email and we'll remind you before the founding rate closes.

You're on the list. We'll remind you before January 1.
