I first met Gail Doby, 12 years ago, and she was a force to be reckoned with in her industry, back then. Since then, she has built her business, The Pearl Collective, and reputation on helping creatives (in the design industry) work smart and transform their businesses into successful operations. Gail and I talk about the importance of building and nurturing relationships, the power of referrals, hiring and supporting valuable staff members, the business building blocks necessary for success – and so much more.Moving from a job in an industry you love to “going it alone” can be a big challenge and really talented designers falter – not for lack of design talent or intelligence – but because they do not have the tools, guidance, or support to create a healthy business.As you listen to Gail I’m sure you will be able to learn some tips that will help your entrepreneurial journey too.Connect with Gail:Pearl Collective: Website - https://thepearlcollective.com/cg-podcasts Gail's book available - https://thepearlcollective.com/cg-book A little about me:I began my career as a teacher, was a corporate trainer for many years, and then found my niche training & supporting business owners, entrepreneurs & sales professionals to network at a world-class level.
