Martina Motwani’s No Regret Life Journey

"There are no regrets in life, just lessons learned" , said by Jennifer Aniston.

The above quote has become my life mantra. After reading this article, anyone will think that having rejected so many good opportunities which many people dream of, how can anyone not feel the regret of losing such golden chances. But till the end of the article you will know the answer.

I am Martina Motwani, Founder & CEO of Martina Motwani Digital World. Today, if I can proudly say that I am the CEO of my own company, then it is only because of the challenges I faced during the early stages of my life. The hurdles urged me to use my knowledge and skill for myself, and start working for my own company.

The journey started in 2012. Just after I completed my Digital Marketing Training, I was presented with an opportunity to work for a company who was offering a handsome amount of salary. I was very fortunate to be given this chance. But, due to some family concerns, I had to reject the offer. But, I have no regrets. (Want to know why, then follow me through my journey!)

Due to my adverse marriage experience which ended up with a separation, I started getting into the depression phase. The only way to come out of that trauma, was that I should channelize my mind to work.

So, in 2014, I started working again. The company that I worked for used my skills for the benefit of their business and then, when their purpose was fulfilled, they fired me. I worked for them for 3 months till December and gave them huge results. But, I have no regrets even then. Because, I had faith in my skills.

Remember, no one can ever take your talent and skill away from you.

It was not easy for me to handle this corporate politics as I was already going through depression in my personal life. But, what I learned at this stage was to keep your personal and professional life separate. This helped me a lot to heal my personal life and I started focusing on my professional life.

Just after that, in January 2015, I got a job offer from a company which had a small team of people. So, one person had to handle many responsibilities at one time. Due to which, I had to work on three desktops at the same time. This made things more difficult for me. But somehow I managed. But then, it came to such a stage where my eyes started developing some major issue. For which I had to undergo an eye surgery.

Being financially independent, I took the decision of surgery by myself. I was facing it all alone. The loneliness I suffered then, has now made me a very strong person. Now, I am able to survive alone. So, I have no regret.

I took a 6 month break for my eye recovery. If someone else had been in my position then, he /she would have definitely quit their career and stopped using computers. But then, as they say, the show must go on. I bounced back right after taking a short break.

I started working again. But, again I was tricked by the dirty corporate politics. The company just took all my working strategies and after that they were not able to afford my salary. So, I was asked by the company to train a person who can work on my behalf. I even did that. I am sure you must be wondering why did I do this for them? Just because at such a young age, I was not so experienced enough to deal with it. Also, they took advantage of my innocence. But, I have no regret even then.

This was taking a toll on my mental health. But, I figured out a way. I decided to launch my own company Martina Motwani Digital World . Yes, finally I decided to use my skills for my own self and work for myself. But, I was not that confident woman which I am now. I had my own insecurities. Starting a company at a young age was very challenging.

At first, it seemed very overwhelming. But, you must have heard the famous saying by Lao Tzu, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step". So, I took a leap of faith. From then onwards, my career took a new shape and I have never looked backwards.

Slowly, starting with small projects to now working with international brands, the journey taught me great things, which I want to share.

Education, knowledge and learning are your true strength. When nobody in the world will stand with you in tough times, only your knowledge and education will be your pillar. I have learned this very hard way by facing hurdles all alone.

Your professional life can help you heal your personal life. When you are financially independent, it gives you the confidence to do things which you love.

I always and always kept my personal and professional life separated. Whatever I was going through in my personal life, my clients and my work never suffered because of that. This has helped me a lot in gaining trust among my clients and building my business.

You are your greatest savior. No one will solve your problems. You have to take control of your life and take decisions. Just like we solve our client's problems, in our personal life also, we ourselves need to resolve our issues. The best way to do this is to channelize your energy to something which you love and from which you can generate some value. This will help you a lot in the long run.

My challenges have given me the strength to walk alone. People wonder how I manage to do everything by myself. The answer is when life throws you down, the only option you are left with is to fight and stand back on your feet. The pain of that phase has increased my inner strength.

It is very important to use your time effectively. When others are partying, you hustle. When others are sleeping, you are awake. When others are enjoying themselves, you learn. This may seem difficult at first. But, in the end it will be worth it. And I promise you that. Because it is my own personal experience. You will clearly see the difference in your career growth.

I grew up in that phase of time when the internet was a new thing. At that time, we were pursuing a career which demanded high speed internet. It was very difficult to work at that time. But still we managed to do everything. In today's world, people should feel blessed to have 4G and 5G internet. But, even after having all resources at hand many of them are not using it effectively.

I even took a loan to complete my studies. But, I never regret that. Because my education has always been my greatest strength. From our childhood, we were taught the importance of every little thing which we got. Because, nothing in the world comes free. This value taught by my family, helped in every phase of my life. This helped to cherish the little things we got and be thankful for whatever you are blessed with.

The one thing which has always remained constant, and which is the secret of my success, is my curiosity to learn. Even today after being in the industry for 10+ years, I keep on learning new concepts and acquiring new skills. This helps me provide new things to my clients which help to grow their business and keep me stay ahead of my competitors.

Apart from my career, I also pursue my hobbies which are singing and cooking. I started my YouTube channel "Rasoi.me'' in which I share simple homemade food recipes. Also, through my website, people can order home cooked, hygienic food at their doorsteps from Zomato (currently, we serve only in Udaipur).

This helps me keep myself busy because it is important for my mental health.

I often get this question from many people: how do you manage both your businesses so effectively? When you pursue what you love, you stay alive and happy. And, this reflects in all the work you do. This way I manage to do everything calmly.

One should always do at least one thing which they love the most, apart from their professional career. Because, when you do what you love, it fills you with great energy and happiness. This will spread in everything you do.

People may call me selfish but that does not take me away from my goals. I am always focused to making myself better. And I suggest everyone do that. Work on yourself. Stand up for yourself. Be strong and make yourself proud.

It is important to smile through your challenges. Maybe not for yourself, but your family who is very close to you and is very much concerned about you. By investing in yourself and becoming independent, you can make yourself and your family proud and happy.

So, I would recommend everyone to work on yourself and your skills. Only they will save you in tough times. And, there is no need to disclose your plans to anyone. Your work will speak for you. "Work hard in silence, let your success make noise".

Hustle and work really hard to make your dreams come true. Because only you can do that, nobody else will. Nothing comes easy in the world, but in the end all your sacrifices will be worth it. I promise.

So, live your life with no regrets. Because, everything in life happens for a reason. Every challenge that life throws at you, will make you much stronger than you think. Trust the process and work hard. It will pay you off in many beautiful ways that you have never imagined.
