How Business Systems Create Life Freedom with Gill Carroll

Debbie Mulhall Episode 10

In this intimate episode, Debbie sits down with her close friend Gill Carroll, a successful restaurant owner who transformed her business through disciplined systems and processes.

 Gill shares her journey from young entrepreneur to business freedom, including how she built systems that allow her restaurant to run without her presence. 

The conversation covers their life-changing experience at Tony Robbins' Business Mastery event, the importance of knowing your numbers, and how Gill transitioned into a new chapter as a yoga teacher while maintaining her successful restaurant. This episode is packed with practical wisdom about creating businesses that serve your life rather than consume it.



  • Proximity is everything – surround yourself with successful people who challenge you to grow
  • Know your numbers: profit margins, average spend, and KPIs should be tracked systematically
  • Invest in systems early – Google Sheets, SOPs, and processes create freedom
  • The hardest challenges in business often become your greatest strengths
  • Balance masculine business systems with feminine intuition and flow
  • Core values should drive business decisions and structure
  • Movement and community outside your business are essential for long-term success
  • Every business is for sale at the right price and right time
  • Don't lose yourself in your business – maintain identity beyond your work
