Hey guys and gals, my friend Jerry Chen flew into Austin last week to do an interview with me for his site. He was kind enough to let me post the entire 77 minute session here on the MS blog at no cost for you guys, so on our behalf, please enjoy… I think the two biggest things you’ll take away from it, are…
1: What I’d do if I had to start all over again from scratch.
2: The 3-steps that have allowed me to go from waiting tables, to building an 8-figure business, while most of the competition failed or quit.
(It’s a BIG file and lot’s of people will be watching it, so PLEASE be patient while it loads 
I’d love to hear your comments, and a “Re-Tweet” would be super cool of ya…
- Mike

Mike,
Thank you for sharing this inspiring video. I never get tired of hearing your story. I have actually watched Jerry Chen go from a nobody in the industry to gaining respectable kudos in the world of network marketers.
Thank you once again for sharing the goods as I know very well, you could have just archived this one for a later date and with another product.
You are the man.

Thanks Mike and Jerry! Incredible content! Great info for both seasoned and newbie networkers. Picked up some gold nuggets again and some reminders… Time, FOCUS & Dicipline! Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
November 16th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
hahaha did jerry make that intro? Good content!
November 16th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
What does it take to get an interview with the great Mike Dillard? I love to hear your story Mike, it’s so inspiring for the beginner network marketer and the veteran as well. Magnetic Sponsoring has grown huge since you started, I applaud you and your team.
I met Jerry at the MLM Traffic Formula Live and he has done a great job branding himself.
So, is there anything new coming up the pipe as far as a new course, etc.? I still need to get the new MLM Traffic Formula 2.
Take Care Mike,
Chris Tuttle

Hello Mike and Jerry,
This is waaaay cool! It’s so amazing what a year can do! I totally remember the first time I met both of you in Austin at MLM Traffic Formula LIVE and this video just validated what the power of believe, trust and having a mentor and a system to follow can do to transform one’s life!
Mike, thank you for being the catalyst that changed and continues to change – the face of internet/online network marketing. Magnetic Sponsoring truly is a life changing course and I for one have been postively impacted by it that I can’t stop talking about it! Jerry, I am so proud of you for living your dreams and in the process, inspiring others to stretch themselves, reach out and never cease to give value! I love witnessing your growth and evolution into a Master Marketer/Connector you have become!
Blessings to you both and to everything you touch!
With Utmost Gratitude,
Emma

Great video Mike and Jerry.
It’s great to hear your perspective about the networking arena and sharing your side of it with us.
As always, love what you do and the great content you provide us.
November 16th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Hi Mike,
Thank you for all that you do and share, you do walk the walk and talk the talk and you do it so well.
Congratulations to you and your family on your wedding.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
It is great to see someone like you in this business, that keeps everything real and looks for the benifit to you customers.
Great content, I look forward to work with you, as I just bought your product today. Thanks again for your time.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Aloha from Kauai! Mahalo (thanks) Jerry & Mike for the great info. I appreciate your talk on being honest, genuine, authentic & offer value. I have encountered overwhelm & am learning to focus & have discipline with my time. Mike, you are a great inspiration to many. I will begin to use your stratagy of focus on one tool & start w/affilliate marketing.
Thanks again!
November 16th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Great video.
Mike’s story is very interesting and inspirational.
Good work guys, fingers up.

November 16th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Hi Mike and Jerry, great content. I think your creating products for people aged 60+ makes sense. These people have so much to offer and this economy has motivated them to participate in network marketing. Most of them can learn internet marketing but anything that shortens the learning curve for them should be well received in the market.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
I really enjoyed your story. I appreciate your philosophy of balance with old school and new internet marketing strategies. Thank you taking the time, Jerry to interview Mike! All the Best to you both!
November 16th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Focus on one skill set and take a year to master it.This is the biggest take away from Mike’s interview.With all the offers out there you think you need to learn it all.But you end up knowing a little about a lot which gives you little value.For me it’s copywriting.That I intend to master.
November 16th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
Hello Jerry,
Great job on taking initiative on this great interview.It was very helpful and I will learn from this. People want to learn from you both to become better people and work more efficiently. Business will come. How can I send an email directly to Jerry. Awesome work Mark.
November 16th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
GREAT VIDEO Guys!!! Thank YOU!
I have a comment I’d like to add in response to one of the questions Jerry posed regarding determining which is the best path to take in Network Marketing, Face to Face or Online. I understand that as an upline you want to focus your team on the path that is duplicatable, easy to succeed with and easy to teach. However, understanding that people have different skill sets and different strengths/weaknesses and allowing them to excel on the path that best fits their personality can hugely benefit a downline team. Having leaders within your team with a diverse set of skills will strengthen your downline as well as helping you to avoid alienating potentially strong recruits.
I like to use the example of construction. You can’t build a house if you only know how to frame or pour concrete. You need framers, dry wallers, electricians, plumbers, roofers and landscapers to build a house.
Thank you again for a very enlightening and informative interview.
Sincerely,
Vickie Stidams

Great Job Jerry, some of us, I know are saying “Why didn’t I do this, or think of this with Mike” Nice to see the realness of both you guys
November 17th, 2009 at 12:47 am

I really enjoyed watching and listening to this video. Mike, you share a somewhat similar background with me. I did HR Recruiting for 11 years myself.
I always learn something new when I hear Mike speak. It’s great stuff. Thanks again for posting this.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Great interview.
Mike Dillard ’til this day remains the only marketer who’s emails and videos I watch in their entirety every single time.
Thanks Mike for everything you’ve done for Ray and I.
Best,

Mike is such a great resource, and you did a great job of getting “the goods” from him.
Very valuable information….rock on!

You are a big inspiration to watch, your posture, the way you talk, your calmness… And thanks for sharing all of that.
Jerry, I didn’t know you before. I do now
Cheers,

You weren’t kidding Mike! Long video but watched the whole thing through.
I hear what you’re saying and it’s almost a repeat of what you write in your book. It’s definitely something I’ve started emulating in my business, but creating it in my own way.
Great pointers and insights too! Thanks.

Jerry,
Thank you for your excellent, informative and direct interview with Mike. As a 61 year old baby boomer I appreciate the forthright answers Mike gave especially relating to the time needed to transform (in my case I owned “brick and mortar” businesses for many years) my thought process through online training. Fortunately I was lead by my mentors to Mike’s material and Magnetic Sponsoring opened me up to a whole new way of doing business. It has given me the confidence to improve my value and use that to help others. Mike was right, my age group is seeking the knowledge, training and opportunities that the internet has to offer.
Jerry, thanks again and I will be watching for more of your online interviews and telling my friends about them.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:01 am
Mike and Jerry:
Fantastic video! I appreciate the mention that attraction marketing can and is done off as well as online. We each need to find our own skills and then learn to use them effectively.

Hey Mike
I am a newbie to the network marketing industry. I have purchased 6 of your products including Magnetic Sponsoring, MLM Traffic Formula, Black Belt Recruiting, Copywriters Guild etc. I am more than happy with the quality of these products. In my estimation, they really are bleeding edge marketing info products. I am continuously studying these materials as I develop my own particular network marketing business. Despite being a baby boomer (51 years of age) and with minimal computing skills (but increasing every day) it’s people like you that inspire me to get out of my comfort zone to acquire a skill set that in the past I would have avoided like the plague. Aside from your obvious expertise what impressed me most about your interview with Jerry was you, the person, Mike Dillard and your constant emphasis on the importance of being genuine and delivering value in everything that you do. In this way, you are not out there just making truckloads of money but you are creating a “culture” that is helping people to become rich in every conceivable way. I am sure that anybody who really seeks to implement what you teach and demonstrate will not only become a business success but become a better person and better citizen of our planet. From Down Under, good on you mate, you’re a bloody legend. Sincerely, Paul Saver, Brisbane, Australia
