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.

Why Strangers Support You More Than the People You Actually Know
I’ve been doing business for long enough to know that the people you love the most aren’t always your biggest supporters. Today, I discuss this slightly unsettling topic and share some advice that will make you feel empowered! I want to provide some insight into why strangers sometimes support you more than the people you actually know and help you see it as an opportunity instead of a source of frustration.
23 Things I Learned in 2023 and Two I’ll Never Do Again
The 23 lessons I am sharing today are things that come from my personal experience inside Boss Project, things I’ve observed with clients, things I’ve gone through and challenges I’ve been through, exciting things I’m leaning into this year, and things that will get you thinking about your own take on all these things!
How to Deal with Stress and Anxiety - And Still Stay Productive
During this episode, I want to dive into what it’s really like to deal with stress and anxiety while you are building a business. How do you continue to be productive? How do you build a support team and a structure that will allow you to drive even when you are struggling with your mental health? It is okay to not be okay all the time! You can still be an incredibly successful person who figures out to manage and cope, and still has bad days.
HUGE Announcement! NEW CreativeTemplateShop.com Site & Co-op Upgrades
From the ground up, my team and I have completely rebuilt the Creative Template Shop. I mean literally all of it was changed in some way or another and it was such a massive project for our team! There are some aspects of the site that have changed and you may not even notice those things which is just so incredible to me because that is what truly good design is about! These things are going to make so much sense to you without me even needing to explain them. So much thought went into making this possible. I am so proud of the work that went into this. There have been so many changes and we did it with only five people. I am so excited for you to experience it!
Inside a Million Dollar Membership
I’ve spent years sharing what it’s like to build a business online, but I haven’t shared much about what it’s like to build a million-dollar membership. Today, I’m answering all your burning questions from logistics to evolution, plus some of my biggest tips and tricks, the things I could never have predicted, and more. We’re diving into all of it!
13 Critical Questions to Ask Yourself Before the End of 2023
Believe it or not, we are rapidly approaching the end of 2023. You’re probably thinking, how the heck did we get here?! You’re probably considering how you can wrap up the old year and start the new year fresh. You’re also probably wondering: what should I be doing right now to put myself in a good place for 2024?
Personally, I don’t believe that it’s about what you do. It’s more about how you think. It’s about reflection and documentation. That is why, in today’s episode, I share a little bit about the past 12 months at Boss Project and highlight some of our major successes and challenges. I also offer you some critical questions to ask yourself to prepare you for 2024 and help you frame what you want for your future.
Massively Simplifying My Offers and BIG Changes for 2024
Over the last eight years, Boss Project has had so many offers and today I’m announcing the major simplifications to my offers that I am so excited about. I have been hesitating to do this episode for so long because I wasn’t sure if this was the direction that I wanted to go in and I have always been so ‘married’ to the direction I was committed to and steadfast about how I was going to get there. While that’s great, things change so often and it’s more beneficial to be able to act according to what’s happening in real-time and make pivots to your plan along the way.
Slow on Purpose: Removing Urgency & Allowing Rest
If you were to ask me how I feel about the rest of the year, I would probably tell you something about wanting to pack it up and see you guys in January! But I’m not going to do that. Instead, I want to talk about slowing down on purpose.
A few members of the co-op community have mentioned feeling as though they are always in a rush. What would it look like if you didn’t put so much of a timeline on so much of what you were doing? How much additional space, excitement, and desire would that give you creatively? How much fuel would that give to your life? Let’s talk about it!
Feeling Invisible: Building a Business Through Life’s Most Challenging Moments
Today, on the seventh anniversary of the most traumatic event I have ever experienced, I want to open up about the five-car pile-up that changed the trajectory of my life. It gave me pause to figure out how I can be successful despite all of the seemingly limiting and impossible things going on in my life. I am going to share my experience of what it’s like to build a business, provide for my family, and deal with chronic health conditions all at the same time.
