The Mike Dillard Show

Man, this interview really hit home for me, and I think it's going to do the same for you. In fact, this is one of those rare interviews where you absolutely have to go back and listen to it a second time while taking notes, because it contains so much incredible wisdom.

Today we're going to dive into the difference between grinding for success and achieving effortless fulfillment.

Our guest is Shanna Lee, and for many years, she was a grinder at the top of her game in real estate. She was one of the most successful agents in the country, and one day she realized that success and fulfillment are two completely different things.

She gave up her career, everything she owned, and headed down a completely new path in life that has led to absolute joy, real fulfillment, the opportunity to discover her true purpose, and financial success, without the stress.

If you are focused on amassing money, and things, and if you're grinding up the mountain of achievement every single day to acquire them, you are playing a fool's game, my friend.

If you are comparing yourself to others and think that you need the mansion and the cars to be happy, you're playing a fool's game.

Are those things cool to have? Sure… For a few months.

But if you sacrificed your happiness, your health, and your true purpose to acquire them, you're in for a rude awakening.

The good news is that you can have it all…

You can have financial success, real fulfillment, and lasting joy in your life.

How?

By discovering what your true purpose is, and by overcoming the subconscious programming and fears that are holding you back from walking down that path.

If you've been online for the past few years, you've probably seen ads from a young man named Dan Henry...

Dan has a classic, "rags-to-riches" story thanks to the incredible opportunities that are online right now…

As many of you know, when I got my start, I was dead broke and waiting tables at a PF Chang's.

And Dan?

Well he was a broke college dropout who was delivering pizzas.

At one point, he had to sell water bottles on the street just to try and pay the bills.

Both of us swore we'd find a way to make it in business, and both of us found that opportunity in online marketing.

Dan got his start by mastering Facebook ads. He started an agency running ad campaigns for bars in his local town, and quickly grew that business to more than $25,000 per month.

Realizing he could dramatically scale his revenue by producing courses teaching what he knew, instead of running an agency, he did exactly that.

His first course was called, "30 Day Agency", and within 5 months, he'd made his first million dollars.

Within three years, he'd hit $10 million in sales.

Today, Dan has one of the best-selling courses in the industry on how to sell your knowledge for a premium price.

I've gotten a chance to know him personally over the past few months, and he's an extremely smart young man.

If you want to make money online selling information and education, and do it quickly, then I'd highly recommend paying attention to what he has to share with you today.

Our guest today is James Schramko.

James is one of the longest running, and most respected online marketers in the industry.

If you haven't heard of him, that's likely because he doesn't have a massive following on social media?

Why not?

Because he doesn't really want or need one.

What he does have, is the respect and attention of some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the industry who subscribe to his services which he charges up to $3,000 per month for.

He also has an elegant, multiple 7-figure lifestyle business that he's refined and improved for over 10 years now which is something you rarely ever see.

So I thought I'd jump on a call with James, and have a detailed talk about business models because the two of us have seen just about all of them.

Should you go with high prices or low?

Should you build a business around monthly recurring income, or a one-time fee?

Should you start an education company, an agency, or a software business?

Should you focus on building a cash cow that can fund a nice lifestyle, or put all of the money back in your business and invest in future growth?

These are some of the most important questions you'll ever have to answer as a business owner, and today James and I are going to help you do exactly that.

One of the most transformative pieces of technology that has opened the gates of entrepreneurship during the past ten years, has been the invention of drag-and-drop funnel building software.

Platforms like LeadPages and then ClickFunnels, gave brand new entrepreneurs the ability to create effective sales funnels for the very first time, without the need to learn how to code, or hire an expensive development team.

The result has been an absolute explosion in new online businesses which has been awesome.

But many of these platforms are starting to show their age.

New features are few and far between, the code base has been pushed to its capacity, and customer service can take days to provide a response.

Well a few months ago, my friend Jordan called me up to tell me about a new system he’d been working on called DropFunnels, and I was completely blown away.

By the time I was done looking under the hood, I came to a very simple conclusion…

Any business owner who cares about sales and revenue, is eventually going to end up using DropFunnels. Why? Because you don’t have a choice.

As you’re going to hear today, DropFunnels has several important advantages over their competitors…

The primary one is that it’s the first and only, drag-and-drop funnel builder based on WordPress, which is Google’s preferred website engine.

This means that your pages load up to 95% faster which is one of the single biggest factors when it comes to your conversion rate and the cost of your ads.

The second, is that your funnels and pages can finally get indexed by Google which will provide you with free organic traffic for the first time.

These two features alone mean that the exact same funnel you’re using right now could be converting significantly higher by simply importing it into DropFunnels.

At the end of the day, I was so impressed that I hired DropFunnels to import my funnels onto their platform, and I invested in the company.

DropFunnels is officially the first and only software platform that I’ve put my name on in the past 15 years.

So without further ado, let me introduce you to the Founder, Jordan Mederich, as he fills you in on everything you need to know about this game-changing software that everyone needs to use.

Well the good news, is that they are.

All of your problems and challenges in life are a direct result of the thought you think, and the beliefs you hold about yourself, your circumstances, or the world.

Well what if there was a hack…

A simple way that would allow you to instantly bypass all of those negative thoughts and beliefs?

Well it exists, and you're going to learn how to use it today.

This is without a doubt, the single most powerful way I've ever discovered to instantly transform yourself and your life.

In fact, this hack is literally how Kobe Bryant became the Black Mamba.

Our guest today, is Todd Herman. He was a personal friend of Kobe's, and Todd works with the world's best professional athletes and entrepreneurs to help them become the Kobe of their sport or industry.

Last month, the murder of George Floyd set this country on fire, figuratively and literally, and it's lead millions of people around the country to ask a few very important questions…

Why does racism exist? Can you actually bring it to an end, and if so, how?

At times like these, I think it's more important to stop, observe, and listen before you speak, which is exactly what I've done for the last month.

Our guest today, Tah Whitty did the same.

And what he has to share as a result of this period of contemplation is absolutely incredible.

See, I'm not interested in finger-pointing, blaming, or shaming people on this topic. I'm not interested in heated emotions and debates about the symptoms. I'm not interested in protests or burning buildings, or retaliation.

I'm interested in addressing the root cause, which is an infinitely deeper topic than the average person is capable of comprehending, and it will take much longer to unravel and address than society would like to see.

You have probably listened to, and had a lot of discussions about racism over the past month, but I can assure you that you have never heard one like this.

This is different.

You haven't heard anything like this before, on this topic.

What Tah is going to share with you is incredibly deep, and this is in my personal opinion, the most educational and strategic approach to racism, its causes, and a path to resolution that I've ever heard.

By the end of this conversation, you're going to have a new level of understanding about this topic, about your neuro-biology, about yourself, and most importantly, about what you can do to actually move the ball forward in the game of humanity.

Please get ready for a fascinating, very different, and incredibly enlightening discussion about this topic.

Today we have the opportunity to sit down with my friend Justin Brooke, who in my mind, is the king of online ads today.

Why?

Because he's the Founder of Adskills, which is the largest paid community for ad buyers.

When it comes to marketing online, Justin is one of the best in the world, and clients of his include people like Russell Brunson and Dan Kennedy.

They sold their home, bought a 5th wheel trailer, and spent the next four years working from the road.

Well today he's going to fill you in on his biggest lessons learned as an entrepreneur, and then we're going to dive into the latest and greatest paid advertising strategies that you can use to grow your business today.

The fastest way in the world to increase sales, acquire customers, and build a massive audience is with paid ads, which means this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Hey gang, and welcome back to the show.

One of the fastest-growing markets in the world is the CBD market. CBD stands for Cannabidiol, which is one of the many chemical compounds found in the cannabis and hemp plants.

Cannabinoids can provide incredible health benefits ranging from improved mood, to better sleep, to pain and inflammation reduction, and they're completely safe.

In fact, your body and brain have built-in cannabinoid receptors which means we have a symbiotic relationship with this plant.

As a result of its legalization here in the US a few years ago, you can now walk into any local gas station or grocery store and find all kinds of products from water and soda, to alcohol and candy bars, that contain CBD.

But there's a scam going on in the industry right now.

Most CBD oils are dead.

They have been pulled out of the plant and processed using heat or chemicals that denature and destroy their chemical structure, rendering them useless to your body.

Which means you're paying extra money, for a product that simply doesn't work.

On top of that, most CBD oils are manufactured from hemp plants that are grown in mass using pesticides.

So how do you create a product that will stand out in a crowded market filled with cheap products? How do you earn and keep a loyal customer base in an industry that is becoming a commodity?

Well, today I'd like to introduce you to the founder of a company who's doing exactly that.

Ted Moskovitz from AmmaHealing.co.

Amma is changing the CBD industry in terms of quality, source verification, and use cases.

In fact, I was so impressed by what they're doing, I decided to become a seed investor before they launched last year.

So if you'd like a valuable lesson in marketing and product differentiation, and if you'd like to try a real CBD product that actually works, please enjoy this episode with Ted Moscovitz, and stay tuned until the end for a valuable discount code I'd like to give you as a listener of the show so you can try Amma's incredible products for yourself.

Soooo how are you enjoying 2020 so far?

Calm? Relaxing? Filled with fun and adventure?

Not so much? Ya me too.

So this last Sunday, Michelle and I had a pretty amazing group of friends out on the boat, many of whom have been previous guests on this podcast... Christine Hassler, Stef Sifandos, Tah and Kole Whitty, and Mike Chang to name just a few.

We talked about the events that have happened so far this year. We talked about the murder of George Floyd, and how this tragic event can be turned into a force for good.

And as we continued to talk, we realized that every single person on that boat, without exception, was in a period of personal transition.

Some people were stranded in Austin away from their home because of the health crisis.

Others are in the process of moving into a new house for one reason or another, and others were in the middle of changing careers.

There were 11 people on that boat, and not a single one of them was going about their lives as usual.

2020 is a year of transition for the world, and so far, that transition has been quite chaotic.

The amount of trauma and fear being created in people right now is going to last a generation, and unfortunately, I don't think this trend is going to slow down anytime soon with the election just 5 months away.

So what can we do about it? How can we heal a nation and come out of this stronger, wiser, closer, and healthier on the other side?

Well I have a few ideas, but in reality, the answers already exist, and they have for a good 2,000 years now.

Whether you're religious or not… Christian, Muslim, Buddist, or Atheist, the solution to every problem humanity creates, remains the same…

Love, and forgiveness.

They're not an easy solution. Love and forgiveness both require strength, courage, wisdom, maturity, and selflessness.

But at the end of the day, they are the only thing that allows true healing to occur, instead of perpetuating cycles of trauma, pain, and retaliation.

A month ago, before the events of this past week, I had a chance to interview someone I consider to be one of the most interesting men in the world.

His name is Victor Marx.

I found Victor years ago on YouTube when I stumbled upon a video of him.

Another man has a pistol pressed against his forehead, ready to fire.

In that moment, Victor managed to grab the gun and point in back towards the aggressor in less than a second. If you blinked, you missed it.

And as soon as it was over, applause and gasps of disbelief erupted from the audience.

You see, Victor is a pastor, but not the kind you'd find at your local church.

He was tortured as a child, and spent much of his youth lost and outraged at the world.

Until he found Jesus, which became the defining moment in his life.

Today, he has a beautiful wife and children, and in many ways, everything to lose.

But instead of living in comfort, he chooses to travel to the most dangerous places in the world like Iraq and Afghanistan, with a gun, a Bible, and a bullet-proof vest.

He is a white man in a foriegn land, putting his life on the line to fight evil, and to rescue little brown girls from sex slavery and torture.

Why?

Because love and forgiveness. Because that's what he received from Christ, and because that's the only real way to heal the world.

Please help me welcome, Victor Marx.
