Why It's NOT Advisable To Start An Online Business On Your Own & For Free?
When you are starting an online business, you should give yourself the best training and use the best tools that you can afford. The reason you pay for training and premium software is to give yourself focus and save a lot of time. Newbies are often surprised at the investment required for the training. Yes, the training is usually the most expensive part of getting started. But the right way to think about this is best explained through this story:
When it comes to starting an online business. All the tools you have to create a multi-million business will take you less than P10,000, but knowing how to set-up these tools together into a cohesive money-making system… that’s the REAL challenge. And that’s what you pay for in the training you get.

Once upon a time, there was a ship with a steam engine that was breaking down. The owner tried one expert after another, but no one could figure out how to fix it. Then they called a local old mechanic who had been fixing boilers since he was young.
The ship’s owner waited impatiently as he was brought in. He stood watching this frail old man, hoping he would know what to do. The old man had with him a small bag of tools. He listened to the distraught engineer, asked a few questions, and then went into the boiler room. They followed him in.
The mechanic looked at the maze of twisting pipes and felt them with his hands. Then humming softly to himself, he reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the steam engine started to work!
As the machine hissed and roared back into life, the old mechanic put away his tool and left. There was much jubilation on the steamship.
Later, the owner received a bill of P10,000.
The owner said, ‘What? P10,000 for a single tap. He hardly did anything! I was prepared to pay him well, but this is outrageous!’
So the shipowner requested an itemized bill from the mechanic. And after a few days, the owner got back a bill which read:
Tapping with the hammer ........... P1.00
Knowing where to tap ................ P9,999.00
Total ........................................ P10,000.00
