Hindi madali ang mag negosyo. Kailan matuto tayo mag negosyo. Kailangan matuto tayo paano natin padamihin itong sweldo ko,” said Duterte.</p><p>(How do grow your money in a business? It’s not easy to run a business. We need to learn how to become an entrepreneur and we need to grow our salary.)</p><p>Concepcion added that one way to help students now is to use social media to their advantage to earn money from it. He cited many social media personalities and so-called &quot;influencers&quot; who earned big just with the help of social media.</p><p>“You’re learning marketing, you’re learning how to position yourself. When you have a business and you are a content creator or influencer, malaking bagay, malaking savings na yan. Ikaw mismo selling, ikaw mismo nagpro-promote (that&#x27;s a big deal, you&#x27;re making big savings if you are selling or promoting your product yourself),” said Concepcion.</p><p>The ‘Youthpreneur’ summit is being held regularly in different campuses across the country. Go Negosyo will hold various similar summits in the coming months to entice more Filipinos to start a business, and start it properly.</p>
