In the world of business, connections can be the cornerstone of success. Every connection made has the potential to open doors, foster collaborations, and propel growth. Edmar Castillo, owner of Edmar Castillo Photography, found such connections through the O’ahu Business Connector (OBC).
Let’s dive into their journey and explore the impact of this program through Edmar Castillo Photography’s “lens”.
Edmar first heard about the O’ahu Business Connector through the Filipino Chamber of Commerce. “The City and County (of Honolulu) has centralized a list of organizations that can be relevant, and practical to our needs as small business owners.” Edmar saw an opportunity to streamline connections and enhance business operations. This database of free to low-cost resources empowered Edmar to identify potential collaborators and support networks that was vital for business growth.
``As a Filipino American living in Hawaii, being collaborative is ingrained in our way of life and philosophy.”
“I would recommend the OBC because they are an available resource to gain access to a network of like-minded individuals and potential collaborators in the community. As a Filipino American living in Hawaii, being collaborative is ingrained in our way of life and philosophy.”
“The Office of Economic Revitalization has been awesome in fostering valuable connections for me. The supportive community staff there and at the OBC have not only helped me learn of the available resources but also provided a welcoming environment that has truly enhanced my experience.”
Edmar emphasizes the significance of connections in both personal and professional realms. Despite living on an island, the journey of entrepreneurship is not solitary but rather interwoven with the connections forged along the way. Through platforms like the O’ahu Business Connector, small businesses like Edmar Castillo Photography find the support and resources necessary to not only survive but thrive in the ever-evolving business landscape.
