On the cusp of a life-altering breakthrough, a seasoned strategist once stood at a crossroads: stay comfortable in the familiar or step boldly into an uncertain future. For Taunee English, that turning point wasn’t rooted in fear — it was catalyzed by purpose. Over two decades, she has helped countless entrepreneurs transcend stagnation. Now, with her upcoming show,🎙️ YKnot!™ with Taunee English – Unleash What’s Next, she extends that mission to thousands more, daring them to ask “Why Not Now?” In her own words:
“One common desire among many of us is to fulfill our purpose—our ‘Why?’. BUT we don’t, because we focus more on the ‘Not’ in the ‘Why Not’ rather than on our true purpose. Together, let us untie the knots that stop us from fulfilling our ‘Why.’”
That question reverberates at the core of a movement designed to help visionaries to reclaim clarity, align with actionable strategy, and step confidently into legacy-level growth. It’s time not just to hear a story — but to become it.
Origins & Mission
Revered as “The Business Caretaker,” Taunee English is an award-winning real estate broker, business strategist, former IRS certified Enrolled Agent and U.S. Navy veteran whose career has been defined by transformation. Before she cultivated this nickname, she honed her skills across multiple disciplines — from production accounting to fractional COO and CFO work to real estate brokerage.
Launching YKnot!™ marks the culmination of her career-long mission: to equip entrepreneurs with the tools needed to move from hesitation to action — using mindset, systems, and savvy financial modeling. Every episode blends storytelling with AI-powered strategy and her proprietary YKnot!™ Framework — inspired by her signature question, Why Not Now? — and structured around the Three Colors of Money: Green, Gold, and Purple. Together, these principles serve as a roadmap for creating sustainable income, capital growth, and legacy credit.
Trials and Breakthroughs
English’s journey has been marked by pivotal moments:
- Scaling Behavioral Health: As acting CFO/COO of Pacific Child & Family Associates, she took the firm from niche operations to a multi-million-dollar enterprise with nine offices and over 100 staff. Her leadership earned a private equity investment in 2010, a rare achievement in the behavioral health sector.
- Cross-Industry Finance Expert: Over her career, she has advised more than 300 entrepreneurs, guiding over $100 million in estate and investment assets through her The Business Caretaker and Lions Realty Group firms. Her specialty? Turning financial chaos into clarity.
- Media Industry Savvy: Her decade behind the camera equipped her to handle complex budgets and union payrolls for commercial production clients like Coca‑Cola, Ford, and Netflix, infusing her financial acumen with creative vision.
These experiences shaped English into a strategist unafraid of messiness — someone who doesn’t just theorize, but who dives into the trenches alongside founders to untangle the knots that stall success.
