I'm Samantha Brightwell—an English girl, with a plan for world domination that begins from a small back room in a cottage in Dorset. Just by the river, near the silver willow trees.

Writer, artist, teacher, and tree-hugging hippie, I'm an advocate for conscious living and new ways of doing business.

I provide life & business  coaching  advice.

Does 'business' have to be a dirty word?

I still feel tentative about calling what I do 'my business', as I think many of us feel that 'business' is a rather dirty word.

Well, I'm discovering people that are recreating 'business' into something far more authentic and inspiring than the usual competitive, commercial, capitalistic thing.

Some of us want to create our own businesses that will support our lives and our dreams, based on what we do well and what we love doing.

What I'm interested in is people like us supporting each other to make this progress. That way, we can get there a whole lot quicker.

So here's the plan.

I'm embracing the B-word from now on. I'm going to make my business bloom. But it has to be authentic, creative and seriously cool.

New for 2010, I've several new projects readying-for-launch… the first of which is 'How To Build A Really Good Business (dotcom!)'—a classy guide to doing vibrant business with values that rock.

Meantime, there's my personal weblog-type site, 'Out of the Void', where I write about all sorts of things.

Stay updated on what's happening here.

I'll progressively add to what's here, with more info about what I'm doing and other new projects.
