Insize
Insize is a new concept in urban living. It aims to
revolutionise conventional city life by helping people make better
use of their space to have a better life. Its plan is to deliver
this via an online platform that combines cutting edge remote
design with the best innovative products that will save and create
space.
Changing the way we live
Suzannah Bartlett joined an IconicShift mentoring programme in
2013 with the start of an idea: "Before IconicShift I was running
my property management business with a small team of three. It was
running well, though I had no firm plans to grow the company. I
also had an idea for an online product and design resource for
people living in small spaces. I'd had a feeling for a long time
that the way people were living and the way that we use space was
changing.
"At the time I didn't have confidence in myself or my idea to
get it off the ground - I didn't think it would succeed on the
programme. But I remember the very first session and thinking to
myself - I'm in the right place."
The iconic process
IconicShift helped Suzannah understand how a small concept could
develop into a game changing idea - Insize.
"IconicShift inspired me to look at everything in a different
way. It changed my perception of what was possible - and that
really has been the biggest benefit to me. Incredible things have
happened. It's given me the confidence to go and talk about my
business in different circles of people who already run big
businesses."
And it wasn't just Suzannah's idea that grew. She used the
IconicShift principles on her existing business, Pillar Property
Management, and it is now growing, with a firm vision for the
future.
"IconicShift has totally shifted my mindset on the property
business. I was thinking of scaling it down because it took up so
much of my time, but now we are on track to double the turnover in
the next year. The team is really excited, engaged and we are
increasing the profitability of our clients."
Insize
The prototype Insize platform will launch in May 2017 to test
the solution, ideas and the market. Suzannah is also building her
profile as a leader in this space and raising awareness of compact
living: "IconicShift has been a real springboard for me. I had a
small concept and it grew into a much bigger idea and now into a
global concept.
"The IconicShift group dynamic was fantastic. It went beyond
just going to the mentoring sessions - and the contact group it
created was incredible. But, the most important aspect of
IconicShift is Mike - he can relate his own business experience to
his teaching, which brings it to life and makes it real. The group
work he facilitates focuses on the participants' individual
businesses making it directly relevant. My life would have been
very different if I hadn't taken part."
