When Siuhuu was launched 2 years ago, I was advised that, with the marketplace now live, I needed to go and promote it. I reached out to various Pacific organizations and news media, which resulted in several interviews and articles about Siuhuu. This led to an influx of Pacific-owned businesses joining the platform and customers beginning to make purchases.
Putting myself out there for interviews and engaging with the public wasn’t easy; fear often started to creep in. However, my passion for Siuhuu motivated me to push past my discomfort and step out of my comfort zone. I created this platform because I believed it addressed a critical issue for our Pacific Island people that modern technology could solve.
Over the past two years, since Siuhuu's launch, I was honored to be selected as one of the 11 Pacific Leaders to participate in the Pacific Islands Young Economic Empowerment Leaders Program in the U.S. This experience opened up many unexpected opportunities and encouraged me to grow further.
I was also honoured to be selected for the Investor Readiness Startup Training in Fiji, which recently concluded. Attending various conferences, workshops, and events has broadened my network and provided valuable insights from successful individuals. Entrepreneurship is challenging, but my commitment to Siuhuu and my belief in its potential for the Pacific community drive me to keep moving forward.
This is just the beginning, and I am excited about what the future holds for Siuhuu. Building a marketplace is a long-term endeavor that requires passion, patience, and strategic planning. As Abhijit Naskar aptly put it, "It is only our dedication towards our passion that distinguishes a champion from the crowd."🙌🏽
