For many entrepreneurs, the path to owning a business begins with an unexpected opportunity. This rings especially true for Manuel, whose journey from Venezuela to becoming a successful business owner in Savannah, Georgia, exemplifies the transformative power of leadership in business.
Originally from Caracas, Venezuela, Manuel’s American dream began with a soccer scholarship that brought him to college in the United States. After completing his education, he sought an environment that would nurture his entrepreneurial spirit. “I wanted to be part of a business environment team that would foster my skills,” Manuel explains, describing his entry into the direct sales industry as “the biggest opportunity.”
The contrast between business opportunities in Venezuela and the United States shaped Manuel’s perspective on leadership in business. His father’s experience running businesses in Venezuela for 40 years demonstrated the challenges of entrepreneurship in a struggling economy. This background has made Manuel particularly appreciative of his current success, as he now owns and operates his own business.
Through his journey in leadership in business, Manuel has gained valuable wisdom. “The biggest piece of advice that I’ve gotten in my journey of leadership is not getting too high on the highs and not getting too low on the lows,” he shares, emphasizing the importance of maintaining perspective through business’s natural ups and downs.
Perhaps the most significant lesson Manuel has learned about leadership in business comes from his commitment to personal development. As he puts it, “There’s no better investment than yourself. By investing time, energy, money on you, it’s always going to get the biggest return always.”
His success has not only fulfilled his professional aspirations. But has also allowed him to give back to his family in meaningful ways. Today, Manuel focuses on helping others achieve similar success. Aiming to teach more people the skills needed for financial and time freedom.
