Daniel Mangena, author, speaker and leadership coach, shares his personal journey and how he is using his experience through adversity to help entrepreneurs and people in their personal lives overcome obstacles preventing them from achieving a high level of success.
Mnagena’s journey to becoming an author, speaker and leadership coach began in 2008 when he was experiencing what he describes as a dark time in his life. Mangena had been dealing with suicidal tendencies, and he was constantly trying to figure out how to successfully carry out taking his own life. Wanting to find a way out of this state of mental anguish, Mangena began reading all different types of literature to understand why he had been experiencing suicidal tendencies.
As Mangena was able to overcome his suicidal depression, he realized people can’t go through life having a consistent caliber of inputs without corresponding outputs. According to Mangena, this means in order to have a successful and fulfilling life people need to surround themselves with people and environments who return that same level of positivity. Mangena says his fear at failing at suicide drove him to understand why he was failing at life, which in turn contributed to the inspiration of building a better life for himself.
As Mangena began to further look at his life he saw there was something missing, so he closed down his consulting firm, packed his bags and began traveling around the world to talk to people and start building his entrepreneurial and personal development coaching practice. The start of his coaching practice was difficult at first. Mangena says he struggled to find people who were interested in coming to hear him talk, but he stayed determined to help people and in late 2018 Mangena started filling up rooms to speak to and coach entrepreneurs as well as people in their personal lives.
One of the most important things Mangena tells people is they need to be definitively clear on what they are seeking to get out of life. Mangena has found many of the people that he would coach who were seeking out his services had become disillusioned with the loves they were living. He says this happens because as people get wiser and older they often start to realize there is a disconnect between the goals they have and the lives they are living. Instead of following their own passions and realizing what they need to do in order to make those a reality, people will live how they are expected to by society or from years of conditioning from their family members.
Mangena works to inspire people to look at their lives without the constraints of outside factors having any input on it. He guides people to find five key areas that they truly want to incorporate into their life. Mangena can then begin to work with people to find the best methods to incrementally build upon the five key aspects and implement them.
Another problem Mangena says that holds people back from achieving their full potential is the unwillingness to change, which can often be an unconscious factor in people’s lives. Mangena has found that when people don’t change their thinking or develop any emotional resilience then the negative aspects of their life won’t change even if they make the effort.
When Mangena is coaching entrepreneurs and business leaders he utilizes the Money DNA method he has created, which consists of five pillars as well as the 4-step ‘Beyond Intention Paradigm’. Mangena stresses the importance that the results businesses see are an outcome of what they have been doing in the past and current time and to change in order to increase productivity and revenue, the leaders of a company will have to start taking steps that will bring positive change in the future.
“I want to help people avoid some of the struggles I faced in my lifetime, and be able to overcome the obstacles they are facing that can hold them back from living a highly successful life,” says Magena. “I work with entrepreneurs, individuals and business leaders of all types, and I have seen many of them grow their businesses and lives to a high level. Many of my clients are now living very fulfilling lives, and it’s not about the money, but helping people to find meaning and fulfill their goals.”
