A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER
A brief introduction to Manifestations by founder Charbel Zreik
A brief introduction to Manifestations by founder Charbel Zreik
First and foremost, we are real people who are driven by a higher purpose and who care about making a positive impact in the world. We are dedicated to our own spiritual practice and continued evolution. We are entrepreneurs and operators who have built and sold great companies ourselves and achieved greater than a 35% IRR over 35 years. We are showing the business world that we can do well by doing good.
Now, one month into the year, we have re-entered those same intense environments that got us off center to begin with – the doing mode, the hustle, the competitiveness, the goal orientation.
Especially when you are in the thick of change, lead from compassion rather than criticism, despite reasons to do the opposite. Keep an open, courageous heart.
I am becoming more clear and certain that there is something special about the entrepreneurial journey that makes it a catalyst for personal transformation.
From healing a chronic disease, to processing childhood trauma, to a discovery of one’s true nature as the One Consciousness, the inner healing journey is intertwined and continuous.
We will always engage in the debate of whether living for the moment and just having fun, or, living a high-discipline lifestyle, is the better route.
To truly succeed both objectively and in having the most joy along the way, I have found that one has to shed it all and instead, embrace the role of the servant.
Being in the CEO seat again after 5 years has thrust me back into an arena whose intensity I had forgotten. The lessons and tools that I have gathered related to inner mastery have never been more important.
Today we discuss shift #2 – Keeping a Safe Body in the Midst of Adversity and Uncertainty. Whether it’s the pressure of your own savings on the line, or the weightiness of having raised capital, financial risk is one of the many contributors to the pressure and resulting stress of entrepreneurial leadership.
More about what we do
We help spiritual entrepreneurs expand their mission and be more successful.
We accelerate the well-being of people by growing mission-oriented enterprises in the whole-person healing and consciousness space.
We have a double-bottom-line focus and are not not-for-profit. We believe economic wealth should also go to spiritual and mission-oriented professions.
Our companies will be the model to the world of fair trade where owners and employees have a great handshake. Great profitability does not have to be sacrificed to have well compensated team members.
We build uplifting, collaborative environments.
Manifestations will offer a long-term ownership model, not an in-and-out “flip” model.
Your company will embark on the next level of its growth journey when you partner with us. We will help you grow from a mid-size company to a world-class organization. Let us help you navigate an important juncture in your business. You can rest assured in our proven track record.
More personal alternative to private equity
We allow you to sell a large portion of your business today, creating a significant upfront financial gain for you and your family, while dealing with highly ethical people in whose hands you can entrust your legacy.
Part owner in a growing and exciting business
You have the option to retain a portion of ownership that will be growing in value quickly as we use our expertise to scale the company.
Turbo charge your company with great expertise and capital
When you partner with us, you will be placing your company in the hands of good people with a track record of excellence. Your company will embark on the next level of its journey – scaling up to be an exciting, mission-driven, world-class organization that seeks to heal as many people as possible, be a great place to work, be lucrative to its owners, and impact the world in a positive manner.
Option for you to transition out of business or stay at the helm
We totally understand that every phase of a company requires a different type of leader. You can either stay with the company and receive great mentorship to grow your own leadership to the next level, or you can choose to transition to a different role or out of the company.
We focus on creating value by delivering the highest quality products and services to more customers. Not only do our companies make large profits, they make real change. With our track record of success, your company, employees and customers are all likely to thrive under our patient and flexible approach to growing businesses.
Equal focus on mission and profit
Every one of our partners will have a dual goal of creating value and financial success for owners and employees, while at the same time progressing specific metrics that measure a mission related to healing and consciousness. These will be side-by-side priorities.
Humanized experience
No one is a number, and nothing is standard. People choose to do business with other human beings. Treating anyone as something other than the unique person that you are is not an option for us. You will deal directly with founder Charbel Zreik and have a chance to build trust and get to know each other.
Understand the fundamentals of the business
We focus on creating value by creating the highest quality products and services and offering the customers, clients, and patients of our companies the best possible alternative to meet their needs. We’re not about cost cutting; we’re not about lay-offs; we’re not about spreadsheets. If you bring a great group of people together, build a solid positive culture, build great products and services, and focus on a great customer and patient experience, you succeed.
Build exemplary companies
As we seek to accomplish every company’s financial and mission-oriented metrics, the “how” is very important to us. We aim to build exemplary cultures that are simultaneously competitive and goal-oriented as well as balanced and nurturing, allowing people to collaborate in a psychologically safe environment where the most inspired part of ourselves can come out and co-create.
