Small Business Casual
Where small business meets your favorite pair of slippers.
A little quirky, not too buttoned up, one less accessory, ahhh… just right.
Welcome to Small Business Casual, where we focus on designing sustainable, cozy, and thriving businesses tailored to your LIFE. Not the other way around!
From general business and marketing to making sense of the behind-the-scenes chaos, I’m Emily Aborn, your host and Small Business Copywriter! I’m here to walk alongside you as we make running our businesses less of a roller coaster and more like a scenic train ride (don't forget the snacks!).

Which Season of Business Are You In?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall… all you have to do is call, and I’ll be there.
James Taylor forgot one little part of his song - WE’LL all be there at one point or another. Physically, mentally, probably emotionally… and in our businesses.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about the four seasons of business, and help you determine which one you’re in, plus what actions to take no matter what the temperature is right now!
In this episode on the seasons of business:
- Business cycles are normal
- Actions for Spring in business
- Actions for Summer in business
- Actions in Fall for business
- Actions for Winter and what to do when business is slow
- Handpicked inspiration for each season :)
- And more!

The quick synopsis: Small Business Copywriter, host of Small Business Casual, wife, auntie, eldest daughter, sister, voracious reader. I live in the backwoods of New Hampshire where I bide my time hiking and investigating fungi in the woods, reading (as aforementioned), doing crosswords and word games, and enjoying bird songs in nature from my back deck.
