In today’s episode, Jeff interviews Victor Manzo Jr. Victor is currently a full-time business mindset coach. He started as a chiropractor in Illinois and after hitting his financial peak and burnout decided to pivot. His new journey started as a pediatric chiropractor where he wanted to help kids. After getting his patients to 50% kids he decided to stop doing things the traditional way and just use what he knew and focus on loving and building relationships with his patients. This method brought him lots of success and he looked at other entrepreneurs and wondered if they knew this strategy; which led him to coaching as a side hustle. Realizing that coaching was much more fulfilling Victor moved with his wife to Nashville and he became a coach full-time.
Victor and Jeff discuss:
- Started his career as a chiropractor, after 5 years he hit his financial peak and was burnt out every 4-6 months.
- Feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied, Victor did some soul seeking and reconfigured his whole practice.
- His office was now a lifestyle office, this caused his office to take a 40% hit as he looked at patients that no longer fit.
- Started to shift into pediatrics and kids became a main focus of his.
- With all of these changes he took another change and stopped taking all the business advice and decided to go back to what he knew.
- As the creator of his life, he should be able to dictate success as he sees fit.
- In business we are always trying to figure out the next thing and he wasn't doing anything towards the next thing, he just focused on loving on his patients.
- Looked at entrepreneurs and noticed that they needed this advice too so he started coaching as a side hustle.
- In 2018 starting coming out to Nashville TN and fell in love with it.
- He and his wife made the move from Illinois and he has been coaching full time since January of 2022 and it's been a blast.
- The whole coaching thing and transforming minds now is like taking things to a whole new level.
- Entrepreneurs come because 1) they have a struggle or pain they can't break through. 2) or they have a big dream or vision they want to achieve faster.
- Vision is the biggest thing that he works on, then the main purpose for why you are here and then work on the (5) M's.
- It takes 84 days to rewire the mind; it doesn't happen overnight, it's a process.
- He's a business coach too; business principles are never in the beginning, if you have a foundation that isn't solid, nothing you build on that is going to hold.
- In life we get stuck in our heads thinking how we have to do things once you let your mind dictate your life creates complexity.
- Anything new? Opening up classes; Money mindset essentials and an Online consciousness school.
