FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COWORKING, NETWORKING, HOLISTIC BUSINESS CENTER CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS IN BRIGHTON
InSights Group Community celebrates one-year business anniversary
Insights Group, celebrated their one-year business anniversary in January 2009 in Brighton, is offering area business owners a place to navigate their business through changing economic times. This community of small business owners, entrepreneurs, and networkers offers a place to go for advice, support, and education and shared office space. Located inside the InSights Group is a coworking, networking and holistic business center for local area professionals. This community combines the power of networking, think tanks, business incubators and office space.
Born out of a networking group with a business focus, to incorporate organic growth and a holistic approach to business, the community has filled a need in for local business owners. Entrepreneurs need not feel as if they are an island, struggling with their business trying to make it on their own. Business support groups, philosophy meetings, troubleshooting sessions, fondly referred to as the “skunk” meetings, have all found their place at the InSights Group . Founders Allan Curtis and Sandra Maki created within this former industrial warehouse on Grand River a community that started as a space hosting a unique collection of meetings rooms and offices. The space was transformed using recycled doors, windows, and $5 cans of paint, as the community grows, so do the amenities. Recent additions are the espresso lounge, healing arts meditation room, and member library.
Community members will find many advantages to becoming a part of the InSights Group, beginning with the free online community to profile their business needs and connect with other community members. A plethora of events fill the schedule, and every day of the week there are opportunities to network, learn about online social networking, how to market on a budget, creating advertising opportunities and navigating business plans and philosophy. Insights Group is the antithesis of “online” social networking (there are classes covering how to use social networking for business growth) and much more. InSights bridges the gap between meeting new people in person, and creating relationships that allow members to reach a broad audience while participating in engaged discussion and learning new things.
