3 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started a Business Artwork

Small Business Casual: Content Marketing, Productivity, Customer Experience for Entrepreneurs & Creators

Welcome to Small Business Casual, where we focus on designing a sustainable, cozy, and thriving business tailored to your LIFE. Not the other way around!

Here, small business meets your favorite pair of slippers. It's a little quirky, not too buttoned up, one less accessory, ahhh… just right.

From customer service, business productivity, and content marketing to making sense-of-the-behind the scenes, chaos, I walk alongside you as we make life and business less of a roller coaster ride and more like a walk in the park (with snacks, of course!).

I offer Small Business Copywriting & Content Marketing Consulting to interior designers, home trade professionals, service providers, coaches, consultants, non-profits, and entrepreneurs with a big mission!

There are ZILLIONS of lessons I've learned as a business owner over the past decade and countless nuggets of advice I want to pour into those coming behind me and walking alongside me.

But advice is a lot like opinions...

Everyone has some AND they're not always relevant and applicable for you.

While sparing you my advice, I'm sharing three things I wish I knew before I started as we spark up a conversation and reflect on some of the lessons learned along the way.

In this episode:

Don't forget to tell them who you are!
Some of us know before we try, and some of us have to try to know - what to do if you're the latter
There are no shortcuts. I repeat, there are no shortcuts.
Failure is a wide, open door, a beginning... not an end.

About Me:

I’m Emily Aborn, I’m a Content Copywriter, Speaker, and Podcast Host. I love working with small business owners who are excited to push boundaries and have FUN infusing personality into their copy. When not working, I enjoy: reading, listening to podcasts, hiking, game nights IN with my husband, spending time with family and friends, and going to beaches that are little-known to others.
