Does This Sound Like You?

Are you someone who has been made redundant, and you want to start your own online business but you don’t know where to start? 

Or maybe you work for an employer but you're fed up, you're not doing what you want to do, what you dream of doing, and you know there must be more to life than working for someone who doesn't appreciate you or value your worth.

Or maybe, you’ve already made a start at making money online, but there’s so much information out there, you get super confused as to which advice is best and you struggle to know what really works? And you’re worried about making mistakes that cost you money!

I know how that feels. And I can assure you…

• If you want to know how to make money online in multiple ways to grow your income, learn what works and what doesn’t work, without taking unnecessary risks…
  
• If you want to make some side cash; save up for your dream holiday, pay those bills, treat yourself or a friend...
  
• If you have a book inside you, and want to get your book out there into the world…
• Or you want to go a stage further and build your own online book publishing business from scratch...
• Or you want to grow and scale a business or side-hustle you already have…
• Or you want to discover additional streams of income in line with your soul-passion and life purposefully, ethically and morally...
  
• And especially if you have a strong desire to have a positive impact on the world and truly make a difference…

…then you’ve arrived at the perfect place, and this site is for you.

My name is Sandra Bellamy, otherwise known as The Asexual Entrepreneur.

I help “action takers, self-starters, solopreneurs, writers, authors, entrepreneurs and side hustlers” to make more money online, grow their skills, increase their confidence audience reach, and believe in their self and their dreams more. If that’s you, this means you can have more joy, more fulfillment and satisfaction, experience more passion, and achieve more abundance with purpose.

But it wasn't always like this...

Watch The Journey That Saved My Life!

In 2012, Everything Changed.

In January of 2012, I was diagnosed with an unseen disability for life, fibromyalgia, which is a chronic pain condition that affects the nerves and muscles of the body. I think I’m the only person in the world who can say, that fibromyalgia actually changed my life for the better forever, and saved it. I had suffered with depression for most of my life, with suicidal thoughts and not much hope in life, or direction, I didn’t want to be here. But after 6 months of coming to terms with the fact I will have a disability for life, in July 2012, I stopped talking negatively to myself, after years of having that as a permanent habit. I worked out that emotional pain, increases physical pain with fibromyalgia, and that if I continued to talk negatively towards myself, I could end on crutches or in a wheelchair, like others who have the condition, and this was a threat to my freedom I could not tolerate.

It was in that same year, that I attended a Success Resources event in London. Which was my first ever business seminar and the first time I ever saw World Leading Coach Tony Robbins, live on stage. I’ll never forget that moment when he taught us how to change our state through movement and music and helped us to break through the barriers we had created in our mind. And that was the start of my self-love journey. Up until that point in my life, I felt my life was pointless, with no hope for the future and I didn’t like myself or my life. So even though I had dramatically stopped talking negatively in the verbal sense towards myself, I didn’t have self-love. But during that seminar, my eyes got opened wide to new possibilities that made me see all the skills, experience and knowledge, I had learnt over the years, which I could use to help others in their life or business, and that was the start of my entrepreneur journey, and self-love journey, to this day.

I continued to go to other Success Resources events over a course of 5 years, including the National Achievers Congress, Business Revolution, Success Seminar, and various other business shows, seminars, and related events, such as the “The Business Show” and Stand and Deliver speaker training. Learning from some of the world’s most renown leading entrepreneurs, experts, thought-leaders, and influencers.

These include:

• Anthony Robbins
• Brendon Burchard (I've got a number of Brendon's books and courses, my favourite course of his is Your Next Bold Move.)
• Donald Trump
• Andy Harrington (I've also done Andy's Stand and Deliver speaker training and his Millionaire Mind Intensive Masterclass.)
• Les Brown
• Jay Abraham

During these years of learning and being an entrepreneur, I have been tested and had to push through a lot of fears and barriers. I have seen the greatest growth and transformation within myself. And I believe that entrepreneurship is the person you become in the process of making money and your dreams come true. That’s why I say to take action and do it for the journey, because it’s the journey that truly changes your life. If it wasn’t for my fibromyalgia and entrepreneurship, I would still be thinking about death and dying. Now I'm the happiest I have ever been (as ACE Fibro Girl) while I continue to evolve and grow myself into the best version of me, both personally and professionally, and I can help you to do the same.

Forever A Teacher, Always A Student.

I believe if you want to help others, the best thing you can do is to help yourself first. Only when you learn, develop, and grow yourself, both personally and professionally, can you achieve your dreams by helping others to overcome their fears and obtain theirs.

With that in mind, I love self-growth and I love learning, and I will always being a student of life. I enjoy helping others and I enjoy learning new things. I have completed a variety of courses over the years, as well as teaching courses myself and I’m always striving to increase my knowledge and know-how, so I can help you to increase yours.

Since December 16th of 2021, when I had a huge mindset shift, I made my main focus building my book publishing business. So even though I have been publishing books since 2015, I feel I’m starting over again, and in 2022, I’ve bought two courses focused on book publishing.

The first one is “Children’s Book Creator” course, by The Home Boss.

I’m still working my way through this course.

This year, in 2022, when am writing this, I attended a Speaker Bootcamp by Corey Poirier (aka. That Speaker Guy) both in January and in October. I’m actually featured in one of his books – The Book Of Why (And How).

Redundancy and

Recruitment

Recruitment was part of my management roles for 7 years.

I have been made redundant 3 times and worked my way back up the ladder each time.

I have experience of recruiting and of being recruited.

It wasn't until 2009, when I was made redundant for the second time in my life, that I discovered I was born to write and to help others, including those who have been made redundant to get back into work. Which was why I started my Beat Redundancy Blues blog not long after Quirky Books blog. I won a Special Recognition Award for my beatredundancyblues business in 2013, and my first book I published in 2015, was called "Break Through The Barriers Of Redundancy To Get Back Into Work - An A-Z 'How-To Guide." And I did some guest blog posts, one of which got a mention in the New York Times and I had my "Breaking through barriers" article published in Devon Life Business and Professional magazine.

My life changed when I was made redundant for the second time in my career in 2009. It was then I discovered I’m born to write and to help others, including those who have been made redundant to get back into work, which is what I was doing along side my full-time job in retail, until 2015, when I started helping asexuals on my Asexualise My Asexual Life channel

Prior to that, in 2008. I started a Writing For Children's course with the Writer's Bureau.

Now, as I write this, I feel my life has come full circle and besides helping asexuals I can help those who have been made redundant/laid off, with modern ways of working, such as making money online and building an online business using social media marketing. So they can work doing what they love, or just build some new skills and a side-income.

Meeting HM the Queen

In July 2013, I had the great fortune of meeting HM the Queen Elizabeth II at St James’s Palace. I was a Health Buddy at the time, for Community Service Volunteers (CSV) in Association with BBC Radio Devon at the time, and I won a Good Citizen’s Award for saving someone’s life. I was chosen to speak to HM and tell her that. You can watch my full story of how I got to meet her, by watching this video below. (Please note, this video was filmed live, raw, real.)
