Wow, what an event!! If you noticed the happy huggers in the the Brighton, Michigan 4th of July parade, that was us, the InSights Group. We had such a great time! Our members otherwise known as “InSights Enthusiasts” spent the week in preparation for the parade by printing up customized labels for water bottles with our member’s pictures, and an invitation to the Family Luau scheduled for Friday night, July 10th at 6pm. Five Hundred TShirts sporting FREE HUGS were also on hand for the event.
The members volunteered time, supplies, and their family and friends to walk and share in the excitement for the parade. The parade itself was a blur. Passing out all those shirts and waters had our members running back and forth to wagons and trucks! FREE HUGS were given along the parade route. A special thanks to the Brighton, MI community for being so receptive, and willing to give hugs!
Why did the InSights Group do this, and what is the InSights Group? We are a support community where local businesses, employees, and entrepreneurs meet, learn and work together. The InSights community is a non-competitive, nurturing environment where people share experiences, mastermind new ideas, network and share connections with each other. The co-working facility is located at 7187 Grand River, in Brighton (near the Rollerama) in a large grey industrial building that has been transformed into a clubhouse of sorts.
The members of the InSights Group come from all types of different businesses. From accountants, architects & attorneys, to bakers, chefs & engineers, there is a place for everyone in this community. Small business owners and solo-preneurs will find a group of people experiencing many of the same things they are. Often people feel like an island as they face the day to day business world. That does not happen at the InSights group. If you are a fan of Seth Godin, you have probably heard of his book Tribes. The InSights Group is a tribe where people find resources, answers, support, encouragement, and share them with each other. It is a helping community, like no other we’ve seen before.
Thank you to our InSights Enthusiasts, Families, Friends, and the Community of Brighton!
With Hugs,
Sandi Maki & Allan Curtis, supporters of the TRIBE!
