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.

How We Put Our Business on Autopilot and Had 12 Weeks of Paid Leave this Year

Today on the podcast we are talking payments, money and how it all happens. Now we know we toot our own horns all the time because we are really freakin’ proud of ourselves for doing the work that we do; six-figure months, six-figure launches, just six-figure everything! However, sometimes when you hear that from business owners, especially online, you often imagine those people are working non-stop, night and day. But today, we want to come into the conversation and remind you guys we have never been those super-hustler type of creatives and entrepreneurs. It’s just not in our nature and we literally want to do the opposite.

Inside this episode, we want to show you it is totally attainable for you to have a successful business and not be working around the clock. It is all possible by setting up the right systems, having the right processes, offering the right products and having all the things that make a great business. Success in business does NOT always mean you have to be working nights and weekends or not spending time with your families. In fact, we don’t believe in working like that at all because it’s actually not healthy. If you are ready to put your business on autopilot, then you better tune in to this one!

How You Invest Based On Your Personality Type with Jessica Eley

Today on the show, we welcome back Jessica Eley, a woman who sets our souls on fire in all the best ways! Jessica is a mindset coach for high-achieving entrepreneurs. She also brings clean water to hundreds of people through her Workshops for Water Program while helping small business owners with their money mindset. Today, we are talking through money mindsets and how they vary based on your personality. We are offering ourselves to Jessica on a silver platter for her to pick apart and call out all of our “bad” money habits.

Money mindset is the underlying structure and core beliefs you have that are running your show around money. The things you don’t even question and the beliefs you “absorb” from your parents, friends and society. This forms a sort of cocktail, if you will, of how you perceive money and your own personal relationship with it. Some cocktails are well-mixed and others are just a really bad blend! In this episode, we’ll be breaking down four types of spenders and equipping you with the right questions to ask yourself before making a purchase. By the end of this episode, you’ll feel more confident in making better money decisions and investments and ensure they’re not coming from a place of fear.

Today on the podcast we have Kaye Putnam. Kaye is is a psychology-driven brand strategist for entrepreneurs. Through work with over a 100 clients, from Fortune 50’s to entrepreneurs, she developed the In Demand Brand method. She has had some crazy success though with her famous opt-in. 55,000 people have taken her psychology quiz all about branding and y’all need to take it too. Inside this episode, all three of us nerd out pretty hardcore. We talk about the psychology behind understanding your competition and establishing your brand presence. We uncover a couple of the most popular archetypes and the least popular ones.

 

Kaye brings to the conversation a different way of looking at your brand, your messaging and what you’re serving to your clients based off what you are actually best at and who you are as a human being, which is the easiest and best thing to do, right? Of course, we also talk about her quiz, the strategy behind how she set that up, how she has collected the leads and what it’s meant for her financially. This a good one to listen to just to uncover a little bit more about yourself and how you can use that to craft your brand messaging to your benefit.

Why We Made Changes to Our Signature Program (pssst...Doors Are Opening Soon!)

Today on the show we are digging into our whole new sales and launch strategy. Previously when we launched programs, we did not really talk about it. It kind of came as a sneak attack or an added bonus for those who have already had a little taste of what we have to offer. This time around we did things a little differently. Instead of waiting until launch time to actually talk about it, we let y’all know early on that the doors would be opening soon and created some buzz around the pre-launch time. This really took the “ick” out of selling and a lot of people were really excited about the program coming back. Plus, everyone gets to have some anticipation about what we’re about to put out into the universe.

Now we are backing it up even further, letting you guys know way ahead of time that a program, like our Signature Program, is coming back! Doors are opening really soon and we wanted to come on the show to let you all know when it’s coming back so you can be ready for it. Plus, we are stepping out and breaking one of the marketing rules — we are actually going to be talking about pricing! We are also going to be talking about how you can get your butt inside and what it’s all about. We love doing it this way because it definitely takes off the pressure of making a surprise sell at the end of a webinar, and instead, it gets people legit ready for it and in the mindset of investing in themselves. So if you need to switch up your sales game and get your tribe excited, listen in to this episode!
