It means he never started his online ventures as a millionaire.
@toyinomotoso is another guy, I respect so much for starting from scratch. He started his online ventures with just few bucks in his bank account as he figured things out himself while growing his financial base.

You must be able to trade your time and energy for money you don't have.

4. Be Market Specific
Targeting a very specific market is important even if you have a huge marketing budget.
But when you’re broke, it’s an absolute necessity because you don’t have the money to experiment. You can’t throw a dozen things on a wall to see what sticks.
