Meet Bella Vasta

I Spent 20+ Years Building Businesses. Now I Help You Use AI to Grow Yours.

I'm an AI strategist for small service-based businesses. Not a tech person who learned business — a business person who went all-in on AI after two decades in the trenches. I help owners cut through the overwhelm and build a real AI strategy around their goals, their voice, and how their business actually runs.

My Story

From Operator to AI Strategist

I've spent 20+ years starting, scaling, and selling companies — and coaching owners since 2007. After all of it, one question drives my work: where does AI actually move the needle for a small business?

I built my first company from the ground up — hired the teams, built the systems, scaled the revenue, and sold it. Then I did it again. By 34, I'd built and sold two companies and learned the thing most business books skip: systems beat hustle, every single time.

Then I built Jump Consulting into a nationally recognized agency. For nearly two decades I've coached thousands of service-based business owners on growth, systems, leadership, and profitability. I've hosted 470+ episodes of the Bella in Your Business podcast and spoken on stages around the world.

Then AI changed everything — how buyers search, how they find you, how they decide. And I watched the owners I care about get buried. More tools. More YouTube. More guessing. Further behind. So I went all-in. Not as a tech person chasing shiny objects, but as a business operator building real AI strategy for the people doing the work. That's my whole job now.

The Turning Point

Every Owner Was Drowning in AI — and No One Was Helping With Strategy

Business owners didn't have an AI problem. They had a strategy problem. They were collecting tools nobody taught them to use. Running ChatGPT that sounded nothing like them. Spending hours on tasks AI could do in minutes — and still not sure any of it was working.

They didn't need another course that sits in a folder. They didn't need a robot that talks like a robot. They needed someone to come in, look at how their business actually runs, and build a strategy around it.

That's what I do now. I use AI and 20+ years of operating experience to architect a complete, custom AI strategy inside your business — marketing, systems, content, client experience, hiring. Not a template. A strategy calibrated to your business, that you own forever.

Operating Principles

How I Approach Every Engagement

🎯

Strategy First, Tools Second

ChatGPT can't fix your business. It needs your context, your voice, your goals. I build the strategy and structure — then the tools finally get useful.

Implementation Over Information

I don't hand you a playbook and wish you well. I build the strategy with you, customized to how your business actually works. You walk away with something that runs, not a binder.

A Business Person Who Gets AI

I'm not a technologist who learned business. I'm a business person who went all-in on AI after 20+ years building service companies. I know your reality — and I stay on top of what's changing so you don't have to.

Beyond the Work

The Person Behind the Strategy

I've been in business for over 20 years and coaching owners since 2007. I built Jump Consulting from nothing and spent two decades inside service-based businesses helping people grow, hire, lead, and scale. That experience is what this work is built on.

Now I focus on one thing: building AI strategies for small businesses that are tired of winging it. Pet care, cleaning, home services, health and wellness, professional services, consulting — if you run a service business and you're trying to figure out where AI fits, we're probably a great match.

I'm a mother, a woman of faith, and someone who holds her clients to the same standard she holds herself. I have zero patience for excuses, because I've seen what happens when owners stop settling: they stop guessing, they get their time back, and they grow without burning out.

I'm based in Phoenix, Arizona. When I'm not inside a client's business building their AI strategy, I'm behind the microphone — hosting AI For The Busy Human, and still recording Bella in Your Business, one of the longest-running podcasts for service-based business owners, going strong since 2014.

I don't just teach AI strategy. I build it with you.
