AAPI Achieve Mentee Spotlight | Tim Nguyen

Name: Tim Nguyen | Business/Profession: Diamond State Chiropractic

Can you tell us a little about yourself and what motivated you to join the AAPI Achieve mentorship program?

Business relationships/mentor and help support other local Asian entrepreneurs.

What are your short-term and long-term career goals, and how do you hope this mentorship program will help you achieve them?

Grow business numbers as much as possible but also meet business connections in case I run into other issues. Mentorship program will help because my mentor is very plugged into other programs and knows a lot of local businesses. 

What are some challenges you’ve faced in your professional journey, and how do you think AAPI Achieve can assist you in overcoming them?

Business is enough to live off of, but how do I get to the next level (double the income)?

How has your cultural background shaped your professional journey?

The drive from my Asian parents to get me into a professional field is the reason why I have my own chiropractic business in the first place. Without them, I probably would not be doing anything relevant because it’s easy to get stuck at home playing games or finding an “easy” route.

What specific skills or knowledge do you hope to gain from your mentor through this program?

Anything that betters me in life, whether it’s business or personal gains. My mentor, Bliss, is in a totally different field but I feel she can teach me a lot of things about life and business management.
