Join me, Samantha Bell, on a revelatory adventure as we navigate the often-unspoken fears that accompany the journey of female entrepreneurship. In a raw and candid conversation, we peel back the layers of trepidation that lurk behind business decisions and personal growth.

Discover how embracing fear can lead to an empowering transformation, enabling you to craft not just a successful business, but a life brimming with beauty and confidence.

  • Something I believe can truly make a difference in how much we enjoy our business and the impact we create for our clients is how well we look after ourselves.

    Yet we’re usually so busy looking after everyone – and everything – else that we forget to nurture ourselves.

    That’s when the wheels can fall off!

    Self-care and finding time to do things that make us feel amazing should be locked into our schedule with just as much importance as talking to new leads and doing our client work.

    Think of wellness as the secret weapon to running an online service business.

    In this week’s episode of the Brilliant Business Beautiful Life Podcast, "Strengthening Female-Led Online Businesses through Vital Self-Care Strategies", I'm talking about why self-care isn't just some fancy buzzword but is a non-negotiable for long-term success.

    Are you ready to find out why wellness practices aren’t just about treating yourself (although that’s also important!); they’re about feeding your body, mind, and soul what they need so you can show up as your best self? Let’s jump in!

    That's entrepreneurship, isn't it?

    A series of high dives. And, just like that pivotal jump, the thrill of what lies beneath is worth every heartbeat.

    BRANDING! If you’re thinking logo, colours and fonts – think again. It’s so much BIGGER than that!

  • Welcome back to our four-part series, "Elevating Your Enterprise: Advanced Strategies for Women in Business." In today's episode, part two, we delve into a pivotal moment for entrepreneurs – scaling your business sustainably while staying true to its core values.

    We discuss the paradox faced by many established business owners: your business is flourishing, but so is the demand on your time. It's an exhausting cycle, where growth seems limited by the hours in the day, leading to a craving for change and balance.

    The solution? Strategic scaling. This process breaks free from the time-for-money exchange, offering unlimited potential for financial growth and the time freedom you deserve. As the founder of 16th Ave Creative Studio, Samantha Bell shares insights on entrepreneurship, building an online service business, and creating a life you adore.

    In this episode, we explore what sustainable scaling truly means. It’s about growth that is smart, long-term, and nurtures your business like a carefully tended garden. We talk about how scaling too quickly can be detrimental and the importance of maintaining your unique business identity amidst growth. The key is to embed your core values into every aspect of your business and ensure that your scaling pace is manageable.

    Remember, scaling is not just about business expansion; it's about unlocking your life's potential. It's about creating a legacy and building a story that intertwines professional achievements with personal fulfilment. So, let's embark on your strategic scaling journey together and create a successful business and the beautiful life you've always dreamed of.

  • In this episode of the "Brilliant Business Beautiful Life" podcast, we're unfolding the magic behind welcome funnels and the power of an email list — your own secret garden where your business blossoms. We'll dive into how these tools not only capture but also nurture the attention of your audience, transforming them into a community of customers who share in the excitement of your offerings. I'll share insights that will shift your perspective, making email lists and welcome funnels a priority in your strategy.

    I've seen firsthand how vital an email list is to sustainable business growth. It's a tool that, when used correctly, can free you from the unpredictability of social media algorithms. I understand the hesitancy that comes with the idea of funnels — it can feel impersonal, cold even. But think of it as an introduction, the beginning of a relationship where you guide new friends through the story of your brand, leading them gently towards choosing to work with you.

    I want to change the narrative around email lists and welcome funnels. They're not just tasks at the bottom of your to-do list; they're opportunities to connect, to grow, and to create a space where you have complete control over the dialogue with your audience. It's about turning that first handshake into a loyal partnership. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear understanding of how to craft a freebie that resonates, and how to build an email journey that aligns with your business's heartbeat.

    We're going to get technical, but don't worry — I'll walk you through every step, making it simple and actionable. Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the game for years, there's something here for you. So, let's begin this journey together, and take a step towards creating not just a thriving business but a beautiful life.

  • Can the secret to entrepreneurial success be held in your mindset? That's what we explore in this enlightening episode, as we uncover the transformative power of the growth mindset in business.

    We start by laying out the stark contrast between a fixed and growth mindset, revealing the crippling effect of fear and comfort zones on our potential. But the real magic happens when we delve into the growth mindset - it's not about being the best, it's about being better than you were yesterday. We share proven strategies for nurturing this mindset, highlighting the importance of mindfulness, stress management, and self-compassion. No matter where you are on your entrepreneurial journey, this episode will equip you with the tools and insights to reimagine your capabilities, tackle obstacles head-on, and reach the top. So, ready to change your mindset, and maybe your life? Let's get started.

  • I’ll just wing it! Have you heard that saying before? Maybe you’ve even said it yourself.

    It often starts as a kid, when you’re in high school sitting for exams you don’t want to do, or preparing for job interviews, anything where you’re not really sure what it is you need to be doing. It’s like if you just turn up – that’s all you need. Go with the flow, and things will work out how they’re meant to.

    It’s a romantic view of how to get things done and to succeed in life, and many people do it everyday! They live on a wing and a prayer, flying by the seat of their pants. But does this approach work, particularly in business? Is this ‘she’ll be right mate’ attitude going to get you to your dreams?

    Many enthusiastic entrepreneurs, brimming with fantastic ideas, start their journey only to find themselves wanting to quit six months later. I'll share why it's crucial to have a solid plan and a framework to turn your vision into a tangible, impactful, and profitable business.

    If you've ever felt overwhelmed or are simply winging it, this episode is for you.

    So, what does that look like in terms of your tech stack?

    Today, I'm hoping to cut through the noise and save you some time and money on tech by sharing some of the tools I use all the time, which I think are the essentials when starting your own online service business.
