Hey! I'm Jen Mcknight.
Founder of Business with Confidence, host and founder of the MindBean Podcast, and over the past 16 years I’ve helped big and small businesses start or scale in over 53 countries. From service-based products, to physical and digital product, I’ve done it all including 4 businesses of my own.Â
Â
Most importantly, I’m your sidekick friend who’s dedicated to helping you build your dream business and life.Â
Â
At the age of 19
Â
I got a tattoo “Live the life you’ve Imagined”.
Little did I know that this small ink mark would end up the guiding light of my life...
I often get asked the question “How do you do it all with a family, your health and the success in business?”, and the answer is simple – I Live the Life I’ve Imagined.
But it wasn’t always this way. I remember sitting in my corporate jobs dreaming about my future, knowing there must be something better out there than this. I couldn’t accept that we had to 'live by the rules’ as a woman, mother, wife and everything else......and I was going to prove it. Having started my first business at the age of 12, I had an itch that never left.
Fast forward 16 years, I never imagined that I would create four different businesses, spend over a decade consulting and working with some of the world’s biggest brands, become a board member of a global company operating in more than 53 countries, host the MindBean Podcast, and develop the online program Business With Confidence – empowering people worldwide to start and scale their dream business.
But this didn’t happen overnight, and the self-doubt, burnout, fear and roadblocks were insane.
Not to mention, most of the advice online comes from single men or women with no more responsibility than a cat or plant (no offense—I love cats and plants!). The advice I give is realistic and applicable to women working full-time jobs, whether you have kids or not, limited time, and a touch of self-doubt.
Â
But is it all worth it?
YES!!
Life Is All About ENERGY.
Energy is my favorite frequency!!
My journey led me to my true purpose – helping you
Â
Here’s a few ways I’d be able to help:
💫Want to build a business but don’t have a solid idea, time, a fat bank account, or a clue where to start? I’ll give you the step-by-step roadmap.
💫 Have ideas, passions and gifts to share with the world, but not sure if you have what it takes to make a business out of it? I’ll help you build a profitable business and financial freedom.
💫Tired of accounting your hours to someone else, and have a passion driven side hustle that’s not earning enough money to leave your 9-5? I’ll give you a step-by-step roadmap to skyrocket.
💫 You’ve hit a painful point where you’re craving more freedom, flexibility, and joy in your life — but can’t seem to escape toxic overwork and overwhelm? I’ll show you the path to freedom and balancing the transition.
Having 2 kids, 4 dogs, and a husband – I know exactly how you feel when it comes to juggling business and all things life. Consider me your friend who will tell you like it is, keep you accountable, be a trusted source of advice AND also have a ton of fun in the process!
2012
Head of Chanel marketing
South Africa.
AT THE SAME TIME
Launched my corporate nail business as a side hustle which is still running as passive income years later.
Â
2017
Gave notice to quit my 9-5 and have a baby. Planned to take a year off.
2018
Bored as hell and head hunted by another company. After 3-months I realised I was in the same “corporate trap”. Saw an opportunity in the industry to launch a business and Macaroon PR was born!!
Pitched with NO idea as to how I was going to pull this off but killed it and reached over 18million people with massive growth in the business (AND made $20 000 profit from my first project).Â
That’s it – the businesses name was out there and we grew fast, becoming the company for high-end brands like CHANEL, Bulgari, Guess, Guerlain, La Prarie, and more.
2021
Realised the serviced based business wasn’t for me. Sold Macaroon PR and went to my next adventure – helping a global business grow in more than 53 countries. Relaunched the entire brand and position in the market, expanded into 7 more countries, launched a direct selling operation in the US to increase profitability and within 4 years became a director and board member.
AT THE SAME TIME
Launched the JenniBean Skincare brand and soon realised the costs vs margin were so not worth the squeeze and effort. What next? Trying to figure out my purpose and the best business model for me....
Dragged my butt through the dirt and back, dug deep, and qualified as a life coach in the process. I've always been drawn to helping people.
2023
Launched the MindBean Podcast and Business With Confidence program to help others successfully build their business and Live The Life They’ve Imagined.
….never looked back.
