We were lucky to catch up with Carly Taylor recently and have shared our conversation below.
"Carly, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?"
My work ethic is definitely a combination of intrinsic motivation and from my family. Growing up my parents both worked extremely hard. My dad traveled most of the year for his job to provide us a great life and my mom took care of us day in and day out. I saw their sacrifice and what they gave up for my siblings and I.
In general though, I’ve always been motivated and persistent. I’ve been a natural leader from a young age and always had crazy ideas of things I wanted to do and then made happen. These are qualities that still run deep and why I never shied away from the idea of having something of my own. From lemonade stands on the weekends, to participating in garage sales with my mom, to starting a side-hustle in Thailand when my best friend and I were teaching English, I was always finding out how I could do and have more. Never from a place of greed, but I knew it all meant more freedom and more opportunity and that made me work harder.
High Pile Designs would truly be no where without my sister and business partner. There’s a lot I do but I definitely do not do it all. Having Jessie side by side with me to learn, grow and propel the business forward keeps me working harder than ever.
