Co-Working Space

The use of co-working spaces have expanded as a viable option in recent years, but some are not familiar with what it entails or the potential advantages.  A co-working space is a place where you can go as often as your schedule allows, sit down at a desk, couch or lounge chair and work among other entrepreneurs.  Some advantages that you may realize include the following:

Structure

Working from home presents an abundance of distractions. Keeping work separate from home allows you to keep structure in your life and provide you a reason to get out of the house.

Becoming More Effective

An office environment creates an energy and mindset that can only come from interacting with fellow workers. In a co-working space, where everyone is busy on their own passion projects, this energy can be contagious.

Avoiding Loneliness

It’s often said that the life of an entrepreneur can be a lonely one. Though you’ll be working on your own business, a co-working space surrounds you with like-minded people who have picked an independent lifestyle that matches yours.

Networking Through Co-working

Working alone places a barrier between you and people who could potentially help your business. Co-working puts you near people who might have vastly different skill-sets or solutions to problems, allowing you to “pick their brains”.

Flexibility

If you’re starting to consider office space, you may not be able to commit to a long-term lease, buy furniture and pay utility bills.  A co-working space takes care of these issues and allows you the flexibility you need at this stage of your business growth.
