Please give a warm welcome to Gail Doby, co-founder of Pearl Collective, business strategist, profitability powerhouse, and the author behind Business Breakthrough.

With 20 years of experience running her own design firm — and degrees in Finance, Banking, and Interior Design — Gail helps design businesses boost profitability (sometimes by over 500%!) through systems, strategy, and smart decision-making.

In this episode, Gail shares why systems are the often-overlooked backbone of any successful creative business, especially in the interior design world where passion can sometimes overtake process. We dive deep into the biggest challenges designers face, the importance of defining your business model from the very beginning, and why mindset might just matter more than strategy.

We also explore:
-The power of systems and structure in a creative business
-Common roadblocks designers hit (and how to move past them)
- How mindset can shape — or stall — your success
-Why knowing your ideal client is a non-negotiable
- Whether building a team is the right move for you

Whether you’re a solo designer or growing a full-scale firm, this episode is packed with insights that will challenge and inspire you to build a business with intention — and profit.
