As you start to build an audience and a following under your name, you can then shine that attention and authority onto other startups or brands, giving them a massive head start that they would normally have to build from scratch.
By simply letting my audience know about the new company and our product. My days are actually pretty unstructured. I wake up with the sunrise, shower, eat, and then dive into my inbox. In the mornings I try to spend my most my time working on tasks that require my creativity… Producing training content, videos, etc.. And in my afternoon, I usually connect with my consulting clients. My best ideas have always come from my own personal problems, and the inability to find a suitable solution in the marketplace.
I created Magnetic Sponsoring because I hated cold-calling prospects and I wanted to figure out how to get those people to call me instead. I created The Elevation Group because I watched everyone lose their investment money in the crash of , and I wanted to learn how to invest like the rich did. I invented EverGrow because I wanted to feed myself and my son clean, organic food, without having to drive to Whole Foods every time to do it. And I started MikeDillard.

Blockchain technology will revolutionize many industries around the world, because it enables trust to take place, without human 3rd parties.

Master the skill of copywriting. Copywriting is salesmanship in print. Copywriting is the skill that allows you to do that, and your entire business will be dependent upon your mastery of it.

Everything was going swimmingly until they hit the month mark, when a con artist from Australia drove the business into the ground.
It was the first in a series of incredibly stressful events for Dillard and his team. Dillard had seemingly hit rock bottom for a second time. After this series of ups and down, Dillard realized he had a passion for healthy, organic, wholesome food, and making it accessible for everyone.
This new drive is what prompted Dillard to find a way to decentralize the farming industry and start building products and systems to allow consumers to essentially farm their own produce in their own kitchens. Not wanting to take on outside investment, Dillard started the Self-Made Man podcast as a means of funding the ag-tech venture.
Another passion of Dillard discovered after attending the Tony Robbins event, was that he has a strong desire to help young men become better sons, husbands, partners, and fathers through teaching different sets of values than what's commonly perpetuated in today's culture. It's a creative way to fund a business, and one that's given Dillard the opportunity to connect with dozens of successful entrepreneurs. It's like my own personal mentoring session every week with some of the most successful people on the planet, and it's led to extremely valuable relationships.
One relationship has been particularly valuable. Peter Diamandis, the founder of XPRIZE, is on the board of Dillard's ag-tech company, something that probably never could have occurred without venturing into the world of podcasting with Self-Made Man. When asked where Dillard sees his ag-tech businesses in the future , he's not sure what that looks like. While he's not clear on the details on how the business achieve its ultimate vision, he is positive that by focusing on what he's good at and leaning into the areas where he can provide the most value, he'll continue to find success.
It's this type of drive and problem-solving that allowed him to fund his ag-tech business through Self-Made Man, a lifestyle business that turned out to be something much, much greater and arguably, more valuable.
