Chapter 2: Lockdowns + New Beginnings (2020–2022).

As 2020 began, Inspiration Space was growing.

Five Digital Enterprise Hubs, a growing community and big plans.

Then the world shut down.

We moved onto Zoom, helping ISPers rescue businesses, rethink their offers and navigate an economic crisis. Somehow, we still had a lot of fun.

2021
Our masterminds became New Beginnings, bringing accelerator-level education to independent founders and small business owners.

The ambition?
Democratise entrepreneurship for the progress of all.

Over 100 founders took part, and we explored everything from AI (before ChatGPT) to building businesses better for people, planet and profit.

2022
Meanwhile, I was finding my voice through podcasts, TEDx and speaking gigs.

My theme for 2022? Relentless focus.
I took it a little too literally.

By the time I was on holiday in Ibiza, I was beyond burnt out.

Three months later, I’d be signed off sick.

The cost of my ambition? Everything.

But that’s only one chapter in this story…

P.S. Were you part of Inspiration Space during those years?

I’d love to know what stayed with you.

Making magic happen since 2018. Chapter 1: The early days.

Oh, the memories. Digging through the archives for this one has been quite the trip down memory lane.

Back in 2018, Inspiration Space started with a simple idea: breathe new life into old ways of working.

We wanted to create the kind of places we wished existed.

Interesting people, useful conversations, good food, a little experimentation and absolutely no requirement to have your life or business figured out.

What followed was a wonderfully eclectic mix of: 
Supper clubs 🥗
Masterclasses 📝
Collaborations 🤝
Co-working days 🏤

We took the work seriously. Ourselves, not so much 😜.

Looking back, what stands out isn’t really the events or the spaces.

It’s the people, the conversations and what came out of bringing everyone together.

And as 2019 drew to a close, we were already thinking about how to take that spirit beyond one room.

Little did we know what 2020 had in store.

OG ISPer from those early days…
I’d love to hear what you remember.

And if you spot yourself in the photos, say hello in the comments.

Chapter 2 is coming. Turn on post notifications if you want to follow the lore.

So, where do you start?

With the question in front of you.

Not with “I need a marketing strategy” or “I need to fix my positioning” unless you already know that’s the problem.

Start with what’s actually happening.

What should I charge? Is this idea any good? Do I need help, a tool, a different approach...or just a clearer answer?

That’s what the Library is built for.

You can browse Explainers, Guides, Founder Stories, Watch & Learn, News You Can Use and the Directory depending on what kind of answer you need.

Explore first.
Create a free account when you want the full Resource or practical extras.

No trial.
No paid tier.
No membership waiting behind it.

Use what you need.
Come back when you need more.

Explore the Library via the link in bio.

And if you have a spare minute, let me know what you think!

DM here or over on Liana Fricker 💁🏾‍♀️

Go forth and be awesome,

Hey there...it’s been a while. It feels like we have a bit of catching up to do...

The work has kept going. I’ve been doing rather more of it than talking about it.

And two things have come from that, both putting more into our URL and IRL village of villages.

The TL;DR?
📚 Inspiration Space is now a free business Library and trusted Directory.

What we’ve learnt from 10,000+ hours supporting founders, freelancers and self-starters, with more of it freely available to you.

🪩 Gatherings are BACK through house of hopium .

Pleasure, social chemistry and getting around a table again. Because the world is weird and we still want to build beautiful things.

The doors are open. Come on in.
Explore the Library via the link in bio, or DM us to join the house of hopium guest list.

Go forth and be awesome, Liana xx

Is your mind holding your business back?

Most of us spend 50% of our time trapped in unhelpful thought patterns.

We call this “saboteur mode” where we operate on autopilot.

This not only affects how we think and feel but also holds us back from making progress in our business.

Being on autopilot leads to reactive, unhelpful behaviours that undermine our ability to make clear, effective decisions.

We have a practical tool to help co-founders and business owners build their mental fitness muscles.

Sol our Mental Fitness Coach, will guide you in building mental fitness skills to shift into a resourceful mindset.

What if your next hire wasn’t about what degree they have but about the skills they bring to the table?

We’re back from the Better Together event at Imperial College London where we explored the future of recruitment and skills-based hiring with clean tech entrepreneurs, climate innovators, and businesses committed to driving change.

Liana Fricker led the Future Fit Challenge, encouraging business owners to rethink how they build teams.

It’s not about looking for people with fancy degrees. You want to build adaptable, inclusive teams that execute, win AND thrive. Hiring for diversity creates a competitive advantage and improves the benefit of your product for customers.

Thank you to Undaunted: Tackling climate change with innovation everyone who attended and the panelists:

✨ Shruti Iyengar, Co-Founder of Climate Mosaic and Investment Manager at Future Planet Capital

✨ Samson Olagbami, DEI Specialist and Contributor at a Global Corporation and London HE

✨ Danna Walker, founder and CEO of Built By Us

And to Shamita Harsh for bringing this event to life!

Let’s keep the conversation going. How is your business evolving to meet the challenges of the future?

Mindfulness is about small moments of awareness.

It’s noticing when you’re stuck on autopilot and creating the space to respond with clarity instead of reacting to stress.

Running a business comes with constant pressure, tough decisions, and the challenge of staying aligned with your business partner. When tensions rise or communication breaks down, it can feel like everything is at stake.

This is where mindfulness and mental fitness comes in. It’s the practice of training your mind to handle stress, make better decisions, and strengthen your relationships.

Most of us spend half our time reacting to stress or letting distractions dictate our actions. Mental fitness helps you take back control, so you can lead with clarity and confidence even in high-pressure moments.

We have some exciting news coming up with Mindest Coach, Sol and we’ll be sharing more about how we’ll help you develop these skills in the coming month 🙌🏻

So Liana did, and this is what ChatGPT said…

“One thing you might not fully realise about yourself is how deeply you prioritise balance between strategic clarity and empathetic leadership.

Your approach consistently reflects a desire to empower others through insightful guidance, all while ensuring they feel valued and understood.

Whether you’re crafting market strategies, supporting your children, or guiding clients, you instinctively strike a balance between creating tangible results and nurturing human connections.

This thoughtful attention to both the practical and emotional aspects of leadership speaks to your intuitive ability to lead in a way that combines intellect with empathy.”

Well damn, ChatGPT. We appreciate the insight. 😂😂

If you give it a go, we’d love to know what feedback you get back. Let us know in the comments below.
