Success Stories

About 10 years ago, I found Gail on social media and felt drawn to her program; I remember thinking that I needed to be a part of it. I always strived to be a good businessperson, but after many years in the business I knew that I needed help in that department. So, wanting to have better focus and direction, and also clarity, around all areas of my business, I reached out to Gail. Within a short time I completely changed my business! I moved, changed our company name, our logo, our slogan, how we operate – a complete (literally) makeover.
I knew I would have to make tough choices, but I’ve always had faith and determination. What I never had, and then got when I started working with Gail, was someone who would look after me in a professional way and would hold me accountable to be better. It’s an amazing thing to be held accountable to someone who truly wants you to succeed. When you’re a business owner, the boss, it’s often the case that you don’t have to answer to anyone. The fact that I have to send Gail our financials every quarter helps me to stay on top of things, to strive for success and to be organized. I don’t think enough emphasis is placed on finances in this industry, but Gail focuses on them, and I love it. The fact that Gail has a financial background as well as a design background is, in my opinion, one of the things that sets Gail and her team apart.
Gail’s VIP days are something I absolutely have to mention. My first VIP day was with my husband. He and I are high school sweethearts so we’ve done a lot together and have really grown up together, and I have to say that VIP day is up there with one of the most critical events of our marriage. It truly helped us gain perspective on what we want out of our lives and how to tame the beast we had created in the business we had started together.
And, I love my Boardroom experiences. I love a more intimate setting, so the bonding and commitment gained from a small group has been incredibly invaluable to me. And so are all of the books Gail asks us to read, all of the programs she suggests we participate in, the systems that she suggests that we try, and all of the trips I have taken with her programs. I am a better person in every aspect of my life due to all of these things.
