When Julia Meiners and Jaqueline Besanceney, better known online as Julez and Jacky, say they risked everything — they mean it literally. No savings, no safety net, and no guarantee that their next decision would not leave them completely broke.
Today, the two self-made entrepreneurs run a multi-million-euro online business and mentor thousands of people around the world. But the moment that changed their lives came when they made a choice most people would never dare to make. They spent their last money on “one more” attempt at success.
Before their success came, both women described a life filled with frustration and constant pressure. Julez was working long hours in jobs that paid just enough to get by, while spending every free minute trying to build something online. Jacky had already gone through several failed business ideas and was struggling to stay financially afloat.
“There were nights when we sat in front of our laptops and asked ourselves if we should just give up,” Julez says. “It felt like everyone else was moving forward and we were standing still.”
Searching For Financial Freedom
They tried what many people try when looking for financial freedom online. E-commerce, digital products, coaching programs, marketing courses. Each new idea came with hope, and each failure made the situation worse.
“At some point you start thinking maybe it is just not meant for you,” Jacky says. “But deep down we both felt there had to be another way.”
The two first met while working in the same online business environment, and the connection was not instant. Both describe the first impression as tense and competitive rather than friendly.
“We did not like each other at all,” Jacky admits. “We were both strong personalities and both used to doing things our own way.”
They Shared The Same Vision
But after a series of late conversations, they realized they shared the same vision. Both were tired of business models that promised freedom but delivered stress. Both wanted to create something that actually worked for normal people without big audiences or perfect resumes.
They decided to try building something together. The result was their biggest failure yet. Their first joint project lost thousands of euros and left them in an even worse situation than before.
With almost no money left, most people would have stopped. Instead, they made what they call the boldest decision of their lives.
“We used our last savings and even borrowed money to try one more time,” Jacky says. “There was no guarantee. It was just a feeling that we were closer than we thought.”
This time they focused on building a simple digital system that could run online without needing fame or expensive setups. They had no money left, no return flight tickets, nothing left to lose. Yet, they made their first sale on the launch day itself. $500 without a product of their own but only a system. And that was just the beginning.
“It was not a huge amount,” Julez says. “But in that moment we knew we had found something that worked.”
From there, they say the results grew quickly. What started as a small experiment turned into a business, and later into the Secret Creators Business or SCB, their flagship mentoring program that teaches others how to build online income step by step.
Today, the two say the biggest lesson from their journey is not about money, but about belief.
“We were scared the whole time,” Julez says. “People think confidence comes first. For us it came after we decided not to quit.”
They know their story sounds extreme, but they insist that the turning point was simple. They stopped waiting for the perfect moment and bet on themselves when they had nothing left to lose.
“We risked everything,” Jacky says. “And that is exactly why we finally won.”
