solo, but not alone
A must-read for entrepreneurs considering coworking: Entrepreneur Magazine’s article on coworking.
It features two coworkers that work out of Office Nomads, a great coworking space in Seattle, WA, and how they have benefited from getting out of their pyjamas and into a productive freelance working environment.
“The appeal of co-working seems clear: It provides people like Brunelle a professional and social package that most alternatives can’t match. For starters, there’s the real-live-human camaraderie you can’t get from Facebook or text messaging, as well as the potential for networking and uncovering new business opportunities. A co-working office can also offer a sounding board for ideas in an informal setting. And it relieves, for the most part, the energy-sapping world of office politics–not to mention blood-draining commutes.”
The article gives props to other great coworking facilities too, including New Work City (New York, NY) and The Hive (Denver, CO), and also highlights the CoworkingVisa, a program that allows members of participating cowrking facilities to work in other facilities while travelling. Camaraderie will be added to the CoworkingVisa list once opened.
