Success, however, didn’t come easy for Gail. Her beginnings were humbling, where at the age of 19, she moved to California alone with no job, no car, and no place to call home. Driven to success, Gail repeatedly spent her free time learning new skills at various jobs and transitioned from secretarial positions to management to president and business owner, where in the middle of bankruptcy, she took a speaking business from infancy, where she could barely pay the bills with a $17,000 income, to ranking within the top 12% of speakers across the country and becoming a credible source for the television media.
