Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Mark Jones. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Mark, appreciate you joining us today. Risking taking is a huge part of most people’s story but too often society overlooks those risks and only focuses on where you are today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – it could be a big risk or a small one – but walk us through the backstory.
In 2003 after 14 years as a general manager & manager, I was inspired to leave my job and come into full time management of the non-profit that I started with 20 people.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am the founder of Manifestations Worldwide Inc. a 501c3 non-profit corporation based in East Tampa, Florida. My local mission is called Manifestation City, where I currently employ 53 people full time, own and operate an assisted living facility, k-12 Microschool, theological institute, group home, men’s home, women’s home, spiritual training center, a 300 student childcare center, a women’s home, and the empowerment house for feeding, clothing, and providing resources for the community.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
I started the corporation with $3500 of my own cash. Our revenue currently exceeds 3.5 Million dollars a year, and we operate completely debt-free fiscally.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
My podcast, “Live Long Lead Well” is currently listened to in 48 countries. I started this podcast in March of 2020 to encourage leaders to remain focused, and to be intentional about their well being during the pandemic. Our corporate social media sites are now monetized, as a result of consistent weekly encouraging content creation and branding.
