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.

Take Our Engage in Oakley Survey on the Planning Commission

The City Council is currently considering whether to re-establish the Planning Commission as a separate body or keeping the responsibilities of the Planning Commission as they are currently set up, which includes a small group of residents who serve as Planning Advisors.

We have developed a survey that will measure residents’ satisfaction with the current set up and also gauge the level of interest that our residents may have in serving on a Planning Commission and/or as Citizen Planning Advisors.

We want your input! Visit our Engage in Oakley platform at https://www.ci.oakley.ca.us/engage-in-oakley/ and complete a brief survey before March 8th.  Stay in touch with our social media for updates.
