How to Ask for the Help You Need 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!

We all get by with a little help, but...

Determining what kind of help you need, where to look for it, and how to give yourself permission to ASK for it, that's another matter entirely!

In this episode, I'll share some common signs that you may need extra hands, eyeballs, or tools in your business and what to do before you bring in the assistance you need.

6 Common cries for help and what they might mean
Ways to get help in your business
Things to have in place BEFORE you bring in an extra set of hands
Your permission slip to invest in your vision
And more!

I’m Emily Aborn, I’m a Small Business Copywriter, Content Marketing Consultant, Speaker, and Podcast Host. I live in the backwoods of New Hampshire, where we spend our time wishing for Summer, hiking, stacking wood for the eternally long and freezing winters, reading, and procuring random and useless knowledge for future trivia games.
