I’m sure this question will raise your eyebrows, but be with me till the end of this article to understand what it means.

As much intrigued are you to get your answers, I will surely get you to that point but before that, you need to understand the pre-cursor.

Manan at 37, went through a financial loss in his venture back in Mumbai which he had started with his brother in law. Luckily just during that time his wife got promoted to Singapore head office and Manan supported her career and with their 1-year kid they decided to move to Singapore.

While his wife was settling with her new office and work, Manan was hunting for a job in Singapore as prior to his venture he had 12 years of advertising (traditional) and Event Management. The challenge here was that he did not know digital marketing/advertising i.e he was not digitally equipped.

He tried for 8 months going door to door to recruiters in Singapore and applying to many companies via jobsites, but he was rejected because he did not have basic knowledge of digital and social advertising.

At this point Manan thought his career was finished and he was dead man walking. He lost his dynamism that he once had during his advertising, events and business days that his clients always loved.

To his luck he was highly referred a digital course by his friend, and he enrolled for it. With an amazing mentor-ship and a well-crafted course by Digital Deepak he completed the 3 months course. With his deep research on each topic he mastered Digital Advertising skills and took a leap of faith to start his new venture of coaching digital aspirants and helping businesses in Singapore via his agency DigitAll to upgrade and upscale their marketing efforts via digital channels.

As you know each sector has its own dynamics and its imperative to be aware and equipped with those dynamics to be on the top. To start with it is important to have a dynamic mindset, the engine that throttles all your efforts resulting in success or failures.
