Some personal stylists make running a business look easy. Gab Saper is one of those people, but what makes her business look effortless now is everything she had to shift to get here. Over the last few years, Gab has refined her systems, clarified who she really wants to work with, and made changes behind the scenes that helped her feel like a true professional, not just someone piecing it together as she goes.
In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, we’re talking about what that evolution actually looked like. From moving out of scarcity and into stronger systems, to rewriting her messaging and learning to say no to the wrong clients, Gab shares how she built a business that fits her. We talk about what helped her feel more confident, how her content got sharper, and why things started to feel easier once she stopped trying to make it work for everyone.
