How To Start A Business With No Money (Paperback or Softback)

Let’s be real—starting a business sounds great until you check your bank account and realize you have about enough money for a cup of coffee (and maybe not even the fancy kind). But here’s the good news: some of the world’s biggest businesses started with nothing. No investors. No trust funds. Just determination, creativity, and a whole lot of hustle. If they can do it, why not you?

This book is not about waiting for the “perfect time” (spoiler: there isn’t one) or hoping a rich relative leaves you a small fortune (another spoiler: probably not happening). It’s about taking action with what you have right now—even if what you have is just an idea, a laptop, and an unreasonable amount of caffeine. Whether you want to start an online store, a consulting business, a food cart, or the next big thing in tech, this book will show you exactly how to do it on a shoestring budget.

You’ll learn how to bootstrap like a pro, market yourself without spending a fortune, and turn rejection into motivation instead of an excuse to binge-watch Netflix. You’ll also discover real-life stories of entrepreneurs who built multi-million-dollar businesses from nothing—so you know it’s possible (and that you’re not alone in this crazy journey).

Most importantly, this book is your roadmap. It’s packed with practical steps, proven strategies, and no-nonsense advice to help you turn your idea into a real, money-making business—without maxing out your credit cards or selling a kidney. So, if you’re tired of just thinking about starting a business and you’re ready to actually do it, turn the page. Your future CEO self is waiting.

Author, blogger, spin writer, SEO, artist, designer, all rolled in one -- that's me! I have a thousand and one ideas that is bursting in my mind and I want to share it with everybody. Hoping ang praying that some my of dreams, ideas, fantasies and whatnots can make, in a good way, a big difference in one's life. I consider myself, a jack-of-all-trade, whilst trying to make a dent in our world to make it a better place to live in.​​​​​​​

Born in Sta. Cruz, Laguna, Philippines. I've worked for twenty odd years, in 2 leading publishing house in the Philippines (Vibal and Diwa), as a layout artist, illustrator and art director. Somewhere along the line, I established my own DTP shop, specializing in book layout and design. Not long after, I started writing and producing my own e-magazines. My first book, titled "Kritterlund" is all about the world of ants running in parallel to us, and, wheeww, it has been and still is a-work-in-progress for almost 20 years (and running). By then, by offshoot, I started making comic strips out of it (Ants World, Silent Witness, David's Adventure, etc.), and turning it into a humor-fantasy book.

​​​​​​​Finally, I discovered that I have this itch for writing. I started writing in social media sites until I said, what the heck -- if I'm this serious in writing, I might as well publish my own books. And thus, the author in me was born. Nope, I'm not a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious author, but just someone who just loves to write. My former boss once told me that I have a talent for writing, so here I am. Of course, and I admit, I have a waaaay lot to learn, when it comes to writing and everything. Ugh! Even my grammar is always faulty. But one thing I'm sure -- I write from the heart. Everything I write comes from the goodness of my heart. That's why, I'm a hopeless romantic ergo I like writing romance-comedy stories, especially with kilig-to-the-bones narratives. Although not everybody will admit it, everyone of us are romantic fools. That's why I love to write love stories that will make a profound impact in one's life.​​​​​​​

Uhm, every once in a while, I write non-fiction books, too. But don't hold your breath waiting for a new one.​​​​​​​

Happily, writing and producing my own books has become my safe haven.
