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!).

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