Great Interview. You reveal how personal development opens the possibilities for each of us. Thank you for asking the kinds of questions that reveal the ordinary foundation upon which this extraordinary person built.
Thank you for asking how he came to learn what he needed to learn. This sheds light for each of us on how we can direct our own learning.
Perspectives on family life helps us continue to strive for balance.
I’m grateful you took the time and effort to help us see in our ordinary lives the possibilities of becoming extraordinary. I bet there is a back story of how you pulled this off. (I’d like to hear that story one day!)
Best of success,

Hey Nancy
What a great interview, and thanks for having your own set of awesome, delving questions!! Almost every other interview I have heard lately asked (yawn..) what would you do if you had to start over? So it was great to hear what you asked!!
Thanks and I will also be subscribing!

You ask some really good questions in this interview with Mike Dillard. I don’t know why, but I keep being surprised by Dillard. His responses here (and when I heard his Q&A live in Vegas) come across with deeper wisdom than one might expect. I used to have this view of Mike as the cocky-know-it-all with the one-size-fits-all solution. His masterful answers in Vegas, and the answers on your video reveal a lot of depth.
Congratulations – and yes I want to hear the next ones so I guess I have to sign up! You are a tricky mama! ; – )

Mentor Mama,
One more comment from Dawn. You were so natural with Mike and you did a wonderful job of getting time with him for your interview. The questions you had for him are the questions that most want to hear the answers to.
You’re right that Mike Dillard is the guru for our industry and what a great choice for your first Grill the Guru!
Keep us the fantastic work! Your full success is right around the corner!

Good for you to get this interview. You asked a great question, and he really took some time to tell you his personal story, which really makes people understand the process someone who is successful goes through. We are all human, and we all put our pants on one leg at a time. Congrats on a very good video that I’m sure a lot of people will get great value from.

Hey there Mentor Mama, You certainly started this series off with a bang!
I’ve subscribed to a whole catalog of Mike Dillard’s programs, but never have had the opportunity, thus far, to meet him. So I was intrigued to see what his responses would reveal.
You did a GREAT job of interviewing him… and I learned that he wasn’t Superman, but rather dedicated, disciplined, regular guy who had a dream and then worked and persevered with a focused determination to make it a reality.

Hi Nancy,
Congratulations on doing this interview! Wow, Mike Dillard is definitely one of our industry’s greats. I love his comments on how he went about becoming who he is. He created his vision, set his sights, began the process and didn’t give up. That is the true definition of success. I laughed at his comment about family life because he has made adjustments to accommodate the changes in his life – obviously all positive. I can relate to the balance required between our professional life and our family life.
Blessings

I pulled this post back up to recommend as part of my #TribeTuesday event because of how relevant it is in social networking at the moment with Mike’s stepping down as acting CEO of Magnetic Sponsoring and his movement into the creation of Elevation Group. Thanks for sharing this great interview!
Kimberly
PS: I do agree with Rebecca, if you’re going to do a lot of these interviews (and hopefully you will!) You need to upgrade to a camera such as Kodak’s zi8 or newer one that will take a external microphone to allow you to do interviews in noisy places.
