Cultivate Your Business Mind With One Mega Group’s New Publication, The Business Manual

By

In a world where production and consumption are now critical more than ever, The Business Manual is your aid to building success that lasts.

Here’s a truth about life that we need to be reminded of once in a while—we are all bosses. With or without an actual business, we do the jobs of those in the field. We take control of our words and actions. We decide on things, whether they are trivial or essential. At the end of the day, we manage a business that we call our lives. 

It may seem disorienting to build something from scratch or revive a shelved idea, but there’s no need to worry about it anymore. The Business Manual will serve as your handbook to all things business, from features of established and up-and-coming brands to insightful webinars and latest news in the field. 

One Mega Group’s newest online publication aims to inform, involve, and inspire readers with their content that makes business a more approachable topic to the audience. Ease the winding journey of putting up your business with stories and pieces that keep the grit in you. 

“I am where I am today, and I have seen many of my dreams come to fruition because once upon a time, Ms. Sari [Yap] saw my potential, took me under her wing, and gave me my life-changing break,” says Archie Carrasco, One Mega Group’s CEO. “I understand firsthand the value of having someone give you your ‘big break’—to teach you the skills that you need, and [to] introduce you to the right people in order for you to succeed in business.”

“This is why we established The Business Manual: I want to pay it forward and help Filipinos who have brilliant business ideas, but may not know how to execute it, or entrepreneurs who don’t know the right people to help take their business to the next level,” he explains.

The Business Manual will be led by two individuals who are well-versed in both business and lifestyle. Editor-in-Chief RJ Ledesma is an entrepreneur, and the founder and co-founder of Easy Franchise and Mercato Centrale, respectively.

With a history in publication as the previous Editor-in-Chief of Manual Magazine—one of MEGA’s former publications—Ledesma’s expertise in the field of business is now his focal point this time around. 

Ledesma shares, “It’s great to be back in the publishing industry with the privilege of re-animating my beloved Manual Magazine for a new audience and with a new advocacy. The Business Manual looks forward to inspiring and motivating my fellow businesspeople and entrepreneurs through our in-depth features and engaging tutorials to successfully navigate their own businesses to survive and thrive in the post-new normal environment.”

Diane Go, OneMega.com’s former Senior Associate Editor, joins Ledesma as The Business Manual’s Managing Editor. With her writing experience in online platforms such as The Asian Parent and When In Manila, she has covered various topics such as marketing, social media management, and freelance writing.

Conveying her excitement to be part of The Business Manual, Go says, “With many small businesses on the rise here in the country, I believe that The Business Manual will be a good avenue for entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners to learn and grow by example as we will be featuring many success stories and highlights from the veterans and experts themselves moving forward.” 

The Business Manual will present a monthly cover story that offers a refreshing take on individuals and brands who are in the said field. Free access to limited content such as news and events will also be available on the website. 

As it is the first online subscription-based business platform in the country, more exclusive content such as interviews and house webinars will be available for an annual fee of PHP 120.

“We hope that by educating these budding entrepreneurs, connecting them with like-minded business experts that can provide actionable insights, and giving them access to knowledge and resources that otherwise may be out of their reach, we can help them kick-start their business growth, inspire them to go for bigger goals, and consequently, improve the quality of life of the Filipino people overall,” Carrasco emphasizes.

The Business Manual will finally open its pages this October 2022. 

The Business Manual. Your success starts here.
