Do you really need an office? New work landscapes
Do you really need an office? An increasing number of professionals is finding that they don't - at least not in the traditional sense. The idea is simple: rather than spending a considerable amount of money per month for a small office that you can't fully customize to your needs, why not share with a bunch of other people who have similar goals and interests? The savings are huge, but so are the benefits—the chance to work around other motivated folks who can help you out with all kinds of creative ideas, a convenient location that can be easily reached, and a place where people come to enjoy their time. The days when offices were full of cubicles and desks are waning. If you're looking for an office, why not try something new? Coworking spaces are changing the future of work and we are aiming to play a small part in this revolution.
The gig economy is here to stay
That's particularly true in the era of the Gig Economy, where freelancers need a workspace to meet with clients, but don't necessarily need to be tied down to one location. With demand for more flexible office space on the rise, coworking spaces are becoming a viable option for people who want to work from a shared space and still have access to the equipment and amenities they need to get their jobs done well. The truth is you don't need a traditional office to be successful. In fact, you may actually be more successful without one. Coworking spaces are the future of work, and they're becoming a bigger part of the economy every year.
The economy is unpredictable. And you get to be too
If you only need an office for a week or a month, why should you rent one for a whole year?
The "office sharing" model has been around for years - and it's not just in big cities anymore: coworking spaces have opened up across the country, in major cities and small towns alike. They have all the perks of renting your own office: charming settings to meet clients, kitchens and break areas, Wi-Fi, and printers, but with the flexibility of a shared space.
Though it might seem strange at first to work amongst complete strangers, coworking spaces are full of freelancers and entrepreneurs who are there for the same reason you are: to take advantage of the flexibility of having an office without having to worry about maintenance or infrastructure costs. It's also odd at first to work alongside such a wide variety of professions; after all, when you start your own business, you're usually working with people who do similar things as you. But once you settle into your own niche at a co-working space, you'll find that it gives you access to perspectives and experiences that may not be available anywhere else.
