World, Meet Sam

I’m Sam Brightwell: an English girl, with a plan to change the world, which begins from a small back room in a cottage in Dorset.

I’m an artrist, a writer, and an entrepreneur (though I prefer the term Innerpreneur). When I’m not filling pages of notebooks with quotes and scribblings and ideas for books, I’m busy building and repairing businesses. Sound odd? It’s not really. Being creative is living the instinct to produce, and to shape the world the way you want it to be. For me, being creative and being an entrepreneur are impossible things to separate.

As one of my heroes said,

An entrepreneur is someone who wants to shape their own destiny, someone who is always marginalized, always outside, always a bit out of kilter.
(Anita Roddick)

Now that sounds as much about being a writer as it does being an entrepreneur to me.

I started my first blog in January ’09, to write about my spiritual path. Now I’m here at Out of the Void writing about creativity, about finding your writer’s voice, and about being authentic, and finding my power – all vital aspects of developing my writer’s voice.

One thing I’ve learned for sure is that writing changes you, and if you do it a lot, you can change really fast. Simple, perhaps. But it also takes courage. And that’s what I want to encourage other people to find. I’m interested in creating a massive culture of success. Too ambitious? Well, I need a damn good reason to get out of bed in the morning, and this one excites me a lot.

So, here’s the deal. I can help you with your stuff:

• Writing
  I can help you with your writing, give ideas, direction and support, or provide personally tailored copy for your website or blog
• Web strategy
  I can help you create a truly distinctive website or blog, to suit your personal or professional requirements, and give you advice on creating effective content and branding your stuff

Does that sound good? I’m not going to get all teacherly and start picking on your grammar and punctuation. Boring. I can point you in the direction of a few good books for that. But I can help you identify your own source of power–that thing that makes you different to everyone else out there, and every other blog out there.

Once you know your source of power, you can start to build and develop your authentic writing voice.  You write whatever you’re interested in writing, but you write it from your heart, your perspective. And that’s what sells. Because that’s what other people want to hear.

Really, I’m just looking forward to meeting you and hearing about what lights your fire because what excites me most about doing this kind of work is how everyone is so truly unique. I could sit here writing away about it all for days, but I’d miss out on so much if I didn’t get to make this extra connection with people.

So, if you’re curious, interested, want to know more, let’s chat. I’m your woman.
