Disclaimer. The business mentoring activity will showcase ordinary businesses’ struggles and successes for one year as they are mentored by INQUIRER.net’s consultant Willy Arcilla. This will help us focus on their continuing stories, a conscious step away from reportage of spot events with no follow-ups which is the norm in mainstream media. I guess you can say we are trying to prove that media can be cured of short-term and long-term memory loss! 
However, results of this business mentoring activity will still depend on the owners’ ability to use their learnings and market developments that we cannot control.

Hi,
I see that this blog is good for a business-minded people like me.
Actually, It’s my dream to have my own company in Philippines (by the way I am an OFW). But I don’t know how and when to start. I like to start a Welding Training Center because I’ve been in this field for more than 12 years.
Can anybody help me out with this?
Thank you and God Bless!

Dear All,
Allow me to thank our entrepreneurs, Salve and Karen for the opportunity and privilege to interact and share ideas on how to drive growth and expansion with innovative ideas and creative solutions to diverse challenges. It was such an enlightening and inspiring experience at once where I believe learned far more than what I shared.
Looking forward to an exciting 12 months of profitable growth for all of you! More power to Inquirer.net, Open-for-Business and Smart Money.
God bless and Godspeed to us all!
