Meet Your Host

Semi-ranty business strategies for successful small business owners.

Hey, it’s your host, Abagail Pumphrey. And I’m on a personal mission to help more small business owners become financially free.

I like to nerd out on all things business, marketing, and most definitely the numbers. I’m talking all the lessons learned as I turned a layoff into a 7-figure online business.

I like to share it all and no conversation is off the table. We talk actionable strategies, biz challenges, and all the things life throws your way - grief, anxiety, loss, and resilience are all topics you’ll find here.

The Power of Pause & How to Leverage it to Accelerate Your Online Business

Today we are digging into what it really takes to reinvigorate yourself. When I am feeling creative resistance, I have a tendency to try and push through – creating an unnecessary environment of stress. When you really slow down, you have the opportunity to gain a new perspective. I like to teach you through my own experiences so I wanted to put myself in my client's shoes.
