Think about this for a second... Do you always make sure your technology is up to date? Are you updating your iPhone and Mac to the latest iOS? Are you keeping your video game system current with the latest upgrade??? Isn't it interesting how we all do our best to upgrade and keep all of our technology current, but we don't take the time to do the same thing with our most important possessions... OUR OWN BODY & BRAIN!!! Take time to upgrade your mind with a book, with some reading, expanding your skills... get the latest physical update to your body with a strong workout or a consistent cardio schedule. Yes, keep your tech updated, but don't forget to keep upgrading yourself during the process. #displaydiscipline Thank you for listening to “The Canvas” Please review, like, comment and subscribe.

You think you work sooo hard, are able to bounce back from a struggle, have a bulletproof mindset and a killer routine that sets you up for success. But so do a lot of other people! You aren't that special! It's great to have any one of these traits, in fact, most people do have one or the other, but when you can start to stack them on top of each other, and put them all together... That's when you really start to get things working in your favor. #displaydiscipline Thank you for listening to “The Canvas” Please review, like, comment and subscribe.

Sometimes you need to use pain and suffering to get a result, it's not always fun... But it is a tactic that you can use to get a result. You can use it on others, or yourself.

Many people will disagree with my thoughts on this... But nobody ever accomplished anything by following the masses - Yes we are in a "crisis" but it is up to the dedicated and lone individuals that can stay obsessed with their vision - Keep pushing towards their purpose regardless of outside circumstances. It will take a movement of fighting back, standing strong and breaking through instead of submitting to fear and living as a victim. Are you with me??? Never let your past be more compelling than your future. #displaydiscipline Thank you for listening to “The Canvas” Please review, like, comment and subscribe.

Sometimes you can feel the pressure coming at you from all directions, someone needs this, you are needed over here, a deadline is looming. When you feel the pressure, when you have the team, the office or your family replying on you, it can seem like a major challenge! Stop for just a second and realize this, PRESSURE IS A PRIVILEGE, it means that you are doing big and meaningful things. You have people counting on you because you are adding value to others and making big things happen. Use pressure as a motivation and know that it means you are on the path to success! #displaydiscipline Thank you for listening to “The Canvas” Please review, like, comment and subscribe.

As much as people have good intentions and want to help, sometimes you just need to realize you have to do things on your own. You may be relying on someone else to make a call, clean up a mess, initiate a program, pay a bill...

Has a sudden catastrophe ever happened to you or someone else? Did you wind up in the hospital with an emergency health issue? Did your uncle lose all of his money in an investment deal? Did your partner unexpectedly break up with you? You may tend to think that these things were an instantaneous occurrence that happened without expectation, but if you re-trace the event you will see there was actually its of little things that led up to this one event taking place. The same thing can be said with the overnight success, what you didn't see with the overnight celebrity or business man that took his company public is all of the hard work that went on behind scenes.

Your life will move in the direction of your words.... We walk into #thedirtykitchen everyday, with a POSITIVE, MOTIVATED MINDSET. Watch your self talk, watch what you say to others and most importantly you! Words are seeds and when you speak something over and over you are planting these ideas into your future. This is great if you are saying things like you will have your best sales month ever, you will be a great husband or wife, you will find a way to help your struggling family member no matter what it takes... But the sad fact is most people tell themselves, I don't have time to workout, I will never get my promotion, the people I live with stop me from going after my dreams. And this is exactly the existence that they live. Take time today to audit your self talk, and focus on keeping it positive and like us, you will begin to see results ❤️ Taylor #displaydiscipline Thank you for listening to “The Canvas” Please review, like, comment and subscribe.

I had a big breakthrough just before recording this episode... Even though it may seem like common sense, you have to set your intentions before you enter a selling situation. If you are walking into a pitch, setting up for a meeting, or helping someone on the showroom floor, before you engage with the prospect, set your intentions to close the deal. I tried this 2 times and closed each deal after setting my intentions to close and not just have a sales conversation.
