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.

I truly think it’s possible to strike a balance between family time and taking advantage of a time when people are spending more money.

Eventually, we found out he has a very rare autoimmune disease that caused him to require around-the-clock care all of a sudden. I was simply not prepared for this. Keep in mind, during all of this, my business still had to keep running.
