The Business Takeover

Where Big Moves Make Big Money

3-Day Business Training Experience for Bold, Brilliant Women Business Owners Who Are Done Playing Small… and Ready to Take Over.

Let’s skip the small talk. You didn’t show up here to play it safe.

  • You’ve got the experience. You’ve got the wisdom. You’ve got more drive than most people half your age. And yet…
  • Your leads are inconsistent — and so is your income.
  • You’re invisible in your market, and you’re tired of being the best-kept secret in your industry.
  • Your message is muddy — even you struggle to explain what you do without rambling.
  • Sales conversations feel awkward, forced, and flat — and you’re leaving money on the table every single time.
  • And somewhere along the way… you stopped dreaming big. Not because you ran out of ambition — but because you ran out of permission.

Here’s the truth no one’s saying out loud: You don’t have a strategy problem. You have a clarity problem. And that’s exactly what we fix at The Business Takeover.

This is not a conference. It’s a Takeover.

Three days of real strategy, real community, real breakthroughs — built specifically for women business owners who are serious about scaling and done with the noise.

  • More Leads — A proven system to fill your pipeline consistently.
  • More Visibility — A message so clear, the right clients find YOU.
  • Bigger Dreams — Permission — and a plan — to want more than you ever have.
  • Real Community — Women who get it, lift you up, and don’t waste your time.

When Did You Stop Dreaming?

I see it every time. Smart, capable, successful women who have completely forgotten how to dream. Not because life beat it out of them — but because somewhere between building the business, raising the family, and showing up for everyone else… they buried it.
They tell themselves, “This is enough.” But that quiet voice in the back of their head? The one whispering there’s more for you? She’s not wrong. She’s just been silenced by obligation, guilt, and a whole lot of borrowed beliefs about money.

At The Business Takeover, we call that out. Then we burn it down. Then we build something better.

Because your Second Act isn’t the wind-down. It’s the main event. And it’s time to take over.

What We’re Covering
(No Fluff. All Fire.)

Fix Your Message, Get Found

If your dream clients don’t get what you do, they’ll scroll right past you. Jean’s 5-step messaging framework will help you nail it — fast. The right words attract the right people. Period.

Leads Are Not Optional

Inconsistent income is a leads problem. Jean’s spilling her best lead generation strategies — no gatekeeping, no vague advice, just what actually works.

Get Visible or Get Ignored

Invisibility is expensive. You’ll create a real marketing plan — one that gets you seen, makes you unforgettable, and actually fits your life.

Think Like a Wealth Builder

Jean’s most successful clients follow Wealth Principles like it’s gospel. You’ll learn what high earners focus on every month to stay profitable — and how to make those habits yours.

Scale It Right (Or Don’t Scale At All)

Scaling a broken business just makes a bigger mess. Jean gives you the real talk on what needs to be in place before you hit the gas — with a side of laughs and zero sugarcoating.

Leave With a Real Business Plan

Not a binder full of wishes. A revenue-driven, life-aligned plan with real numbers, real goals, and a clear path to hit them. If you can measure it, you can make it.

Put Ambitious Women in One Room. Then Stand Back.

The energy shifts. The truth drops. The conversations get real. The connections go deep. And the momentum? Unstoppable.
This is where you find the women who speak your language, refuse to waste your time, and cheer louder for your wins than anyone else in your life. Strategic partners. Profitable referrals. Genuine friendships. Clients — likely.

Women who know their worth — and aren’t afraid to help you claim yours.

Meet Your Conference Host

Jean Kuhn

In 2002, Jean bought her first bankrupt franchise. Most people would’ve panicked. Jean rolled up her sleeves, ignored the drama, and added $100K to the bottom line in 12 months. Four years later — because clearly once wasn’t enough — she did it again. Another bankrupt franchise. Another $100K turnaround. Another proof point that strategy beats luck every single time.

On December 22, 2012 — her youngest son’s 21st birthday — Jean woke up, looked in the mirror, and made a decision: “I am not winding down. I am taking over.”

She’s been self-employed for 40 years. She’s seen what breaks businesses and what builds them. She talks money, revenue, and wealth — because if your business isn’t paying you well, something is broken and she’ll tell you exactly what it is.

In 2006, she helped 52 fellow franchisees start turning their businesses around. Because when Jean wins, she brings the whole room with her.

The Business Takeover is Jean’s 10th 3-Day Business Training Experience and her 5th Annual Business Growth Conference. She keeps hosting because women like you keep showing up — and she refuses to leave you hanging.

What Women Are Saying

“My biggest takeaway was that I couldn’t just work IN my business — I needed to work ON it. The conference gave me tangible tools to set and meet my financial goals — and I exceeded them in the first two months after.”

Sheryl Mercedes

Owner, Mercedes Design Studio

“Because I spoke for 5 minutes at the conference, I walked away with 20 new clients and $1,900 in revenue. The power of being in that room is real.”

Allison Millerick

Owner, Salt Suites, Woodridge IL

“Being with other like-minded women who also wanted more was the inspiration I needed. Over the past 9 months I’ve made clear, attainable financial goals — and I’ve exceeded every single one.”

Teresa Villalobos

Independent Contractor, Jordan Essentials

Quick FAQs

Who is this for?

Women business owners who are tired of slow sales, weak leads, and playing it safe. If you feel the pressure of time and the pull of purpose — this is exactly where you belong.

Can men attend?

Men are welcome to purchase a ticket and attend. But fair warning — this room is built by women, for women, and the energy in here is something else entirely.

Is it recorded?

Nope. We keep it real, intimate, and in the room. You’ve gotta be there to get the gold. This is not a replay kind of vibe.

Does my business partner need a ticket?

Yes. Every seat needs a ticket. No free rides — every woman in that room is there to do the work.

Can I bring my baby?

Babies under 6 months are welcome. If they get fussy, we’ll ask you to step out — because every woman in that room deserves to be fully present (you included).
