SAMOA – Businesses in Samoa are being urged to support and collaborate with other entrepreneurs around the region.

New Zealand-born Samoan business woman, Tofilau Esther Tofilau Tevaga, was speaking at the Samoa Business Network’s first gathering of the year.

Tofilau said jealousy was a big hindrance to growing business in Samoa but she said sharing ideas would be the key to success.

“You got to really hustle and I think I’ve failed a few times, but in business you learn and sometimes I’ve learnt that people in the Pacific, we have a big heart and we always give from our heart.” - RNZI
