Since working with Randy Taylor over the past several months my I cannot believe the changes that have come about.  What was once my yearly income is now my monthly income.  As of this afternoon I surpassed my goals of $1 million and will receive my Pillar Award.  Randy, I could not have done this without you.  I know you took a chance on me and am I ever glad that you did.

I feel your program is one of the best programs I have been involved with.  I feel by taking your course several good things happened to improve my business and personal life that at times seemed to be non-existent.  I am confident that I will achieve the greatest success in my career in 2009 and a large part of this must be credited to you and your program, thanks for all your help

Sandy Chiodo

I have been in the financial services industry for the past 35 years and have spent a great deal to time and money attending many seminars and coaching programs, including the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT).I can assure you that participation in Randy Taylor's coaching program , has by far , been the most valuable investment of time and money that I have ever made. I would strongly recommend this program to anyone who wants to improve their personal and business lives and want to become the best that they can possibly be.   

Keith Jansen

I have read numerous books, attended numerous seminar/lectures, watched many videos on the theory but none of them show you how to start on the path and what to do to continue. Randy Taylor has mastered the process to truly become successful. I am now on my 6th month of the process and the changes I have seen in my personal, family and work life are almost unbelievable.  Thanks Randy for making it so simple.

I want to personally thank Randy Taylor for thetremendous value and service he has provided over the past six months. I attribute your group and one on one sessions as the singlebiggest reason thatI have re-positioned my perspectives in a number of areas. I,like many have in the past been skeptical of services offered by various self-proclaimed“coaches”. My business and personal focus is moving in the desired direction thanks greatly to Randy’s mentorship. I have and will continue to recommend Randy Taylor’s program.

“Randy Taylor’s program not only gave me a lot of clarity about what it is that I want from life, it also helped with many of the practical day to day components of my business.  The result?  I was immediately able to implement methods and strategies that were in line with what is truly important to me.  The tools given in the program were a real gain to getting organized and simplifying my business”

For the past 18 months Randy Taylor has been working with my consultants in my Division in the Toronto East office.  Over the years I have worked with many coaches.  From the beginning I could see that Randy Taylor with his Taylormadeleadership program was different.  He has created a great system to develop self-belief in his clients and those who have taken his course have shown tremendous growth.  Their newfound success has set the benchmark for what is possible in my Division.  I would highly recommend Randy Taylor for both his seminars and coaching programs

Alex Bril

CFP-Division Director

To anyone considering taking part in Randy’s program, I have one small piece of advice: just do it! For me, the experience has been one that truly removed the veil of doubt from over my eyes and opened my sight to the true possibility of my own potential. The assignments Randy provides make you really look within yourself and discover truths that were either forgotten or never discovered to begin with. They provide action and accountability, key ingredients to the success of one’s goals. On top of the coaching, Randy always makes himself available to share an idea, and sometimes give you that little push. If you are someone who has asked yourself how to take your life to the next level, or if you feel deep down that something is missing and you’re not quite sure what it is, Randy’s program will truly help. It’s the key to living your optimal life and it’s in your hand, and if you were like me inquiring as to whether or not you should take part in this program, then it is truly time to open the door.

Over the years I have involved myself in many different programs, here in Canada and in the US, from NLP and Strategic Coach to Tony Robbins and some fabulous selling programs, books and audio material.  Randy Taylor’s ideas, positive philosophy and the consistent, regular follow- up, is exactly what I have been missing  -- and I just love how all the pieces of my life are coming together as a result of your influence.  I told our Region Director today that Randy Taylor is the best thing that's happened to our office this year

Jeremy Parsons

Randy was referred to me about a year ago and in that time Randy has been a welcomed member in our Region.  He has worked with our New and Senior Consultants alike and I can tell you that his program is excellent although I do think he needs to charge more...he explains that money is not his main motivation for doing what he does. He is a very sincere man, very cordial and professional [none of this rah stuff] and his program really focuses on the Consultant as a "person” I can see Randy and I working together with many of our Consultants for years to come. I would highly recommend Randy Taylor and his coaching program.

When I decided to allow randy to become a part of my stress filled life, it was at a time in my life that I felt trapped by circumstances beyond my control.  After listening to Randy speak, something told me that if I wanted to get control of my life again it would somehow come about with his help. My intuition was right. I went to my first meeting with Randy so stressed that I truly felt my health was in great jeopardy.  Over the months we met, Randy showed me how to take control of my life again and did it  without me realizing it was happening.   Writing in my journal daily, meeting regularly and actually doing what Randy suggested helped me find the path that led me to find a very clear direction and put me back in control of my life. Although I would  like to think that I did this on my own,  the reality is that Randy help me to change my belief system and  change my life. My personal and business life are once again the success I didn't think I would ever get back to. Randy made me see that I could change anything if I truly believed I could

After completing your three-month course I can’t do without planning my day the night before anymore. When the self-employment solution was introduced I wasn’t sure how effective it was going to be.. As a result of your program I have achieved Pillar in my first 10 months and I’m getting closer to Pillar Plus each week. I achieved Level 2 in the Pursuit of Excellence sales contest in November and I know that this had a direct influence. I look forward to using this technique for the rest of my career

“The Winner within gave me the ideas I needed to move to the next level in life.  Randy challenges you to re-think, re-focus and re-energize.  After completing the program I am stepping-up in my professional and personal life”-

Tully Campeau

Randy Taylor’s coaching program “The Leadership Within” is a powerful program that helped me to transform not just one area of my life, but several.  What I liked about the program is that it is holistic in its approach, with all my goals being worked on at the same time and on all different levels.   The program helped me to remove the blocks that were stopping me from seeing my potential.   I had tried other “new age” and coaching methods previously, but none deliver the permanent positive life changes I was desiring.  Randy’s program has become part of my life and it is something I do because I see the effects in my life….faster and bigger than I could have imagined. 

Hazel Lamarre

I want to thank you for what I consider to be the best training program I have ever attended.  The last three months of my life has been more productive and fulfilling than at any other time.  My life has truly changed because of you and I wish I had the opportunity to attend this program when I first began in this profession.  The program has helped me both from a business and personal perspective.  I recommend your training program to anyone.  Please continue to transform lives and help people discover the winner within.-

When I first met Randy I was struggling in my first 18 months in the business and not producing much.  Since working with Randy over the past couple of months my business has completely turned around.  Year to date I have closed over $800,000 in new business and now completely believe in myself.  I would wholeheartedly recommend Randy’s coaching services.  Randy truly believes in people and inspires those he coaches to take the steps necessary to move in the directions of their dreams

Korrie Silver

As soon as we finished with your 1st session, …I asked myself the most important question I’ve had in my nearly 40 years: “What is really possible for me?”, and from that day on, your coaching program has helped me to re-set my priorities in my life, and to know  “Why I am doing this?” It has being by far, the most enjoyable and the BEST program I have ever been introduced to, because it does not end with the sessions, it goes with me every day of the rest of my life.-

Mauricio Certantes

I have been to many workshops and seminars and Randy’s has made the most sense and the results are already showing.  I would recommend this program to all levels of business owners to take your business to the next level.  

Sheila Kirkeby

After working with Randy Taylor for 10 months on a one on one basis I can say it was a very valuable and extremely timely experience.  I think the most important things I took away were:

  • Creating a vision for the future and what I wanted to achieve
  • Setting up a tracking system for the business - I think the tracking system I set up with your help is far superior to the one we use at IG.
  • I have much better time management now - the tracking system helps and when it is coordinated with a day plan - it becomes really powerful, and as a result I get a lot more out of my day now.
  • The hardest aspect of going from a job to a business that does not have a store front, is that it is very easy to con yourself into not working, or working on the wrong things – Randy taught me to keep focused
  • The Success Journal was another important item that I continue to use, and it has served me very well.

I think I can say that I run my life and my business differently now than I did before, and it's all for the better.  I would highly recommend Randy Taylor

I have been working in financial services for the past 13 years.  I have realized now that before taking Randy's course I was just going with the flow and had not realized my potential.  Since taking the course I now seen what I am capable of and look forward to  exciting opportunities and a new beginning.  This was the best investment of time and effort I ever made.  Thanks Randy

John Smyth

Through the process of utilizing The Winner Within the changes in my life have been incredible, both from a business and a personal prospective.  About a year and a half ago I decided to just dive in and trust the program and as a result have been able to make five times the money annually, build stronger relationships with my friends and family and ultimately develop a healthier lifestyle.  I am proud to recommend Randy Taylor and The Winner Within program to my friends, family as well as clients as the most hands on personal development program I have ever been exposed to and as long as you do the "work" I am sure you to will see great results.

"Randy Taylor was brought in to coach my team with The Winner Within. As we have had experience with coaches before my people were hesitant at first. That soon changed. Randy was able to connect with my people and myself and provided exceptional value in not only his clear understanding of the steps necessary to achieve goals but also in providing the tools necessary to succeed. Great job Randy. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow".

When working in an entrepreneurial environment there are many things you can be doing all the time, which can lead to confusion at work and home. Randy's program helped me focus on what was important Consequently my actions and results changed dramatically and I had one my most successful years both at home and work. 

Tim van Pinxteren

CFP, BSC, Division Director, Investors Group

"Randy is a great coach, mentor and friend. Randy has helped me to achieve goals that I knew I could achieve but didn't know how. I had used other coaches before. He has helped me realize what is possible to achieve, too many coaches focus on systems and promise quick results. Randy was honest, he told me what is I needed to do and held me accountable. Randy worked on the mental aspects of what I needed to be successful. I'm loving the journey!"

Andrew Jones

"Randy Taylor is a true professional and great mentor.
I first met Randy at my Financial Center in the fall of 2011 where he asked a group of Advisors : "Why are you here?"
That question alone has caused me to sign up with Randy and I have never looked back. He has been a true believer in me and has shown me why I am truly in this business and how to structure my business more efficiently and show me how to be not only a better advisor, but a better person. He has helped me to re-structure my entire year, client base and my reason for being here.. He truly cares about the people he works with and this has shown in my business practice and at home. I owe much of my current success to his vision of me and why I am in this business. I am so grateful to have met Randy and I want to thank Randy for all his hard work with me. I would 100% recommend his course."

Don Kellough

Randy Taylor has done some great work for our region. What I like best about Randy's programs is that Randy is a student of his own teachings.

"Randy is my professional coach that I have been working with since the fall of 2011. My decision to work with Randy has proven to be one of the best moves I have made and as a result, have recommended Randy countless times. Randy helped me simplify my business, thus increasing my effectiveness. Also by Randy helping me to put everything into perspective, I now know truly "why" I am in my profession; which is fundamental for success! Needless to say I have noticed an immediate positive change in my Financial Planning practice. However, what really resonates with me is that Randy truly does care about the success of others; and this is rare........very rare.
I owe much of my success to Randy and I only hope that one day I could help Randy as much as he has helped me.

It's been 2 years since I've completed Randy Taylor's course and I still use many of the strategies he taught.  I've attended many self improvement courses over the years and this has had the most lasting impact on my life.

John Depass

Senior Financial Advisor

"I had the privilege of being introduced to Randy late in 2010 and knew from our very first conversation he had something different to offer. All too often industry coach have great talks but don't have the knowledge or material to make them a highly valued part of an advisor's success. Randy is unique in that he brings passion, knowledge and commitment along with his bag of tools. The result, best year of my career to date, daily resources I use and will continue to use. Knowledge that Randy's commitment is genuine and sincere. Randy brings what you need to the table, the challenge is for you to use it. Continued success Randy. It's an honor to know you. Thank you."

"Randy is a great business and personal coach who connects on multiple levels.
He is very personable and works with those who want to be helped. I really enjoyed his approach to life as a movie. Fast forward to the last day of your life and what would it look like? Work back from there and build the script to make it happen.
Randy's coaching sessions are one of the best investments you can make in yourself and your business!

Barry Clement

"I first met Randy at an industry meeting and heard him speak about how we typically stop before we get to where we are going. It made sense so I approached him after the seminar and hired him to assist me break through to the next level.

For the next while, I and a group of others met with Randy and were guided to learn more about where we were, where we wanted to go and how to get there. This incredible insight spurred on by Randy allowed me to indeed break through in 2011 as did other members of that group.

To date, 2012 has been even better. I have always balked at those who promise results as sales talk, but with Randy the promise was kept. Not only did I benefit from his unique abilities in business, I was able to have equal growth in my personal life.

I would not hesitate to hire Randy to assist me in breaking through the "Stop" behavior and assist you personally or your team to reach new heights.

Brian Shumak

“The Randy Taylor Winner Within program provides advisors with valuable practice management tools as well as addressing the core motivational requirements for long term success. It is a succinct compilation of many of the best programs I have taken over the past 25 years. However, the follow up and daily exercises are what differentiates the program from all others. I would strongly recommend this program for advisors of all tenure.”

I started being coached by Randy Taylor 6 months ago, and since coming under his tutelage I have seen a noticeable and ever-increasing improvement in my efficiency and organization. During this period my business has doubled year over year.

This quantum shift in my performability has allowed me to get in front of numerous high net worth clients whilst preparing me to better facilitate their needs. Randy is a highly motivating financial lifestyle enhancement specialist and I owe the lion's share of my newfound success and revitalization to him. This program is the cream of the crop, it is the pathway to robust growth and dynamic profitability.

Randy I want to thank you for your excellent program The Winner Within with our team. We have found it very helpful to help us achieve our goals. We have found by implementing your process our team is operating more efficiently and everyone is more aware on how to improve life generally.

I met Randy through a friend and at the time had pretty good direction in my life.  I had great personal relationships and was doing well in my career.  However, I’m a big believer in continuous improvement and for this reason began working with Randy, not knowing the results would have profound impacts on my life.  All of the exercises I worked through with Randy have played an important role in my development and creating those habits have been invaluable.  Beginning each day by writing my gratitudes have given me an even more positive perspective on my life and force me to take that all-important pause in my hectic days to be grateful for things around me.  The Boss/Employee relationship has been exceptionally powerful because it made me realize that I know what it takes to be successful and that getting there simply means making a practice of executing what I already know.  Now I do this exercise daily, making time in my schedule for the truly high-impact activities I need to focus on, both personally and professionally.  Also taking time to focus on what I wanted from the day allowed me to really think about what a successful day for me would look like and I was amazing at how often the things I wrote down in the morning became reality before I went home that evening.

I recently changed jobs in my industry and Randy’s “End of Life Perspective” was actually one of the key reasons I made the change.  I was very happy with my existing role, had a great career path and was excited for the future.  However, in my End of Life Perspective I noted that I wanted to have an impact on my industry as a whole and my current role would not allow me to fulfill that.  As a result of that, I used that exercise to give me direction and ultimately I made the decision to change careers. 

Those working with Randy will certainly experience an enrichment of their lives, find excitement and energy each day and will get on a path to live their life in their terms.  Randy is inspiration, supportive and most of all, passionate about helping others live a great life.  Thank you Randy for making a difference for me, and as a result enriching the lives of those around me too.

Over a period of many years as an investment advisor, I had listened to numerous tapes or attended seminars given by "motivational" speakers. There was always a missing link that left audience members, especially me, asking the question…how??? What is the process? Randy Taylor has done exactly that for me. Over the past 14 months, my "book size" has increased by over 15% and I achieved a record level in revenue production.
This in what can easily be described as one of the most tumultuous financial periods in recent history. I credit Randy with helping me achieve not only business success, but more importantly, a loftier personal vision as well.

Albert Brandstatter

I have taken Randy Taylor’s program “The Winner Within” and have recommended it to many of my colleagues and friends. To say that we have been thoroughly impressed is a gross understatement. I am particularly pleased with the impact he has made on both my business and personal life in the last year. My goal was to create a deeper level of “conscious” competency in my business so I may better impact those I coach and develop. I would highly recommend him and now understand that Randy makes people better at what they want to be better at.

Mike Woods

I’ve been in the financial planning business for 14 years and have taken a lot of courses and spent a lot of money. I can tell you that by far this is the best I have been involved with. The price is very reasonable and I have seen improvements in my business, but it is much more than that. I have refocused on my health and my family and I am more focused than I have ever been before. I would highly recommend the program

I was introduced to Randy Taylor and the Taylormadeleadership coaching program last year. I have found the program to be very effective and very hands on.

He is also working with a team of consultants currently in my office and the feedback is very positive. I would highly recommend Randy Taylor and his coaching program and seminars.
