Secret Academy Episode - Mike DillardMike Dillard was just a high school student waiting tables on the weekends when he came to the realization that he needed to work for himself in order to truly succeed in life. During college, he started a networking marketing business with just a few hundred dollars; but he wasn't able to turn a profit for almost 5 years. He decided to learn about copywriting, and after implementing what he had learned, his business started to take off soon thereafter generating 7-figures in revenue. Mike used his knowledge of marketing and copywriting to launch several businesses, each fulfilling a need or solving a problem he encountered. Today, he runs Self Made Man, an online community mentoring young men in the areas of business, relationships, finance, health, and more. He is also currently working on a new project in the hydroponics arena.
