We spoke with Simon Zutshi about his entrepreneurial journey

 

How did you come across Genius Group and what inspired you to join the community?

When I had the idea for CrowdProperty, I knew mentorship was key. In 2013 I was a guest panellist at a Genius Group event, talking about how I had grown my previous company, property investors network (pin), when a new idea for a business was born. Another speaker was talking about crowdfunding and how it worked, and it made me wonder if this was possible in the property sector.  As I was a member of the Crystal Circle, an invite-only business mentoring group with Roger James Hamilton, I ran the idea past him, and he was immediately sold.

When I first told Roger about CrowdProperty, he said it could be a 100-million-dollar business and he was right. CrowdProperty is currently on track to reach that valuation in the next 3 years.

What was your experience in Crystal Circle?  Did the mentoring benefit you and your business? 

In my opinion, it doesn’t matter if the business mentoring relationship is formal or informal, direct, or indirect. What does matter is that you connect with someone who encourages you and challenges you to approach potential problems from a different perspective and think bigger. The advice and guidance I have received from Roger and Genius Group and the network on GeniusU really have been invaluable and I feel that everyone in business can benefit from a network such as GeniusU.

Where are you and your business at today and what are your future plans?

I am currently working with Genius Group to develop pin mastermind which will be both physical and virtual training programmes including a personality profiling test for real estate. This will be launched later this year and will allow so many people to learn the skills and gain the education they need to invest successfully in property. Genius Group is great at helping people to grow wealth, and I am so pleased to be able to partner with them and pass on these invaluable skills to more and more people.
