Now the fun part

Putting together a co-working space is a combination of finding suitable co-workers and an office space.  What's more important?  Answer. - The people. But the last few weeks have been difficult because of the holiday season and the cold snowy weather.  So I concentrated on finding a space instead and found one.  (see previous post.)

So now Its time to find people who will benefit and from the space.  This is the fun and challenging part.  Its networking time !!

If you are a free-lancer, contract worker, writer, web apps developer, college student, web entrepreneur, artist, marketer, lawyer, accountant, manufacturers representative, insurance salesperson, realtor, blogger, financial planner, daytrader, this office space is for you.  

If you work out of your home at all, this space is for you.  Working out of your home, has it special challenges and advantages.  On the challenging days, this co-working space will offer an alternative space to work from.  It will have none of the trapping of home, but instead will offer companionship and a professional environment.

f you are a telecommuter and find the drive to the office is a huge time sink, then the co-working space is for you. Convert your drive time to productive work time.  Bring your laptop, hook up and get cracking.  Driving wastes gas and time.

I hope to assemble a diverse group of talented people who will take advantage of my affordable co-working office space.  I hope to add value to the physical space, but enouraging community they will enjoy and benefit from by working alongside each other.  I want to facilitate networking and provide the good office experience independent workers miss out on. We can plan after work events, lunches and discussion groups.  I want the co-working space to be more than just work.  It has to provide that something extra that solo working experience does not.  Let make that happen.

In the next few days, I would like to give a tour and presentation of the co-working concept.  Lets talk about how we can create a community of professional independents.  I will keep you posted with details.
