A smarter way to build your business in just 90minutes a week.

The Founder’s Sanctuary is an always-on growth membership designed to help you make steady progress without pressure, created by exited entrepreneur and growth expert, Helen McGuire.

No rigid cohorts. No falling behind. No overwhelm.

Instead, you get a clear path to follow, monthly momentum and expert support you can actually use.

A 3-Month Guided Growth Path

Your core business-building modules unlock monthly across three months, giving you time to learn, apply and grow properly.

Month 1: Foundations
Build your business plan, define your offer and create a roadmap that makes sense.

Month 2: Visibility & Marketing
Get clear on your messaging, social media strategy, audience and how to attract the right people.

Month 3: Sales & Growth
Create your pitch, pricing and sales strategy so you can confidently convert interest into income.

Why The Founder’s Sanctuary is different

Built for idea-stage founders, early-stage businesses and founders in their first few years, TFS is designed for people who want to grow with intention, impact and momentum.

Unlike many programmes that:

• Flexible learning built for busy lives
• Real founder guidance from someone who has built, scaled and exited
• Practical tools you can use immediately

Hi  I’m Helen McGuire. I’m not a guru. I’m an exited founder who’s been in the arena for over a decade.

My track record includes:

1. Built and exited two seven-figure businesses
2. Raised over $500K from investors
3. Scaled from zero to six figures in 18 months
4. Built an 80,000+ member community
5. Worked with global brands and institutions
6. Wrote a best selling book called The Female Founder Formula
7. Built businesses while raising three children and relocating internationally
8. And now I’m sharing all I’ve learned with you.

If I could build under those conditions, imagine what you can build with the right support beside you.

This is what happens when you say YES to TFS...
