How Pacific Business Trust Helped Me Launch Manu Golf: A Polynesian-Inspired Brand Story
Manu Golf is a golf apparel brand inspired by culture and diversity. The idea for Manu came to me six months before launching, but I quickly realized I needed help to set up the business and define a clear direction and business plan. In the first two months, I sought guidance from experienced mentors who understood the unique challenges a Polynesian brand might face. That’s when I found the Pacific Business Trust (PBT), and I joined immediately.
PBT's Role in Shaping Manu Golf’s Success
PBT played a key role in the launch of Manu Golf by providing essential support in various areas. They offered funding to collaborate with Pacific Enterprise People to develop a comprehensive business plan. Along with financial support, PBT organised workshops on marketing, social media, accounting, storytelling, and, most importantly, networking opportunities with other businesses.
Overcoming Setbacks and Rediscovering Confidence
After the failure of my first business venture, I struggled to find the confidence to start another business from scratch. However, PBT gave me the tools and encouragement I needed to rediscover my passion and regain the confidence to try again. Since then, Manu Golf has flourished, and I haven’t looked back. Thanks to the Pacific Business Trust, I’ve been able to start and sustain Manu Golf, and they continue to support me with workshops that foster ongoing learning and business growth.
Why Pacific Business Trust is Essential for Pacific Entrepreneurs
If you’re a Pacific business owner or a Pacific individual thinking about starting a business, I highly recommend Pacific Business Trust for guidance and support on your entrepreneurial journey. PBT has been instrumental in my growth, and they can offer the same support and resources to help you succeed.
