We all know that we are living in the Digital Era. We are surrounded by Digital apparatuses and we cannot deny the fact that in coming decade, we will find us dependant on these Digital apparatuses. Also, as I discussed above, everything we buy is a result of anyone’s persuasion and endorsement. As a result, I opted pursuing what i love doing along with keeping the need of the hour, got me be with win win situation.
What is Your life Mantra?
Particularly, the only Life Mantra I believe is Smart work. I always had an optimistic outlook on Life. Also, we should always stay motivated. I was really inspired with “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, it actually made me think that what should be our motto in our lives.
The most challenging part of your journey till date and how did you Overcome those challenges?
Fear of failure has always been challenging for me, but one has to learn to deal with failures as well, as it’s not that only victories that will come in your share. I overcome it by reading about biographies and semi-biographies of successful Entrepreneurs and keeping my mind focussed.
How are you managing your Life and work during Lockdown caused by COVID 19?
Mainly, due to COVID-19, Companies had backed off their hands on their Marketing Budget, Which I think is the biggest challenge for me and my company during this pandemic. So, instead of being worried about the business lag, I focussed on gaining some new skills, like excel and negotiating skills.
What is your source of motivation for the day when you wake up?
I always wake up with a thought that every day is an opportunity to move ahead in life, learning new skills, meeting new people, etc.
How do you Manage your stress?
Always stay positive and optimistic. Also, to manage stress, I close my eyes and think about my mother, she is my biggest source of motivation.
What according to you are keys to success?
Believing is yourself is the key to success. Moreover, and never get carried away by other’s views of you.
What Online Apps/tools do you use the most and Why?
I use Canva, because it is the best tool for Graphic Designing. Animaker, because videos and voiceovers can be made easily through it. Moreover, I use Google analytics, Google ads, Google Keyword Planner, etc.
What habit you think, makes you more productive?
I always keep myself fit and Positive.
Your business Goals / plans for next 3 years?
