Top 5 Reasons Why Entrepreneurs Use Co-Working Spaces
Flexible working really is a blast and can give you the freedom once thought impossible in a professional career, but working alone every day can get pretty uninspiring if you’re not careful. That’s where co-working spaces come in. More and more entrepreneurs are ditching home setups for shared workspaces. Here are the top five reasons why co-working spaces have become a go-to choice for professionals and entrepreneurs.
1. Cost-Effective and Flexible Workspace Solutions
Leasing a long term office can be a terrible drain on the finances for a freelancer. Month to month can be both peaks and valleys which can cause major stress when it comes time to pay the rent. Flexible co-working spaces give you total freedom to work when you want, without any of the strings attached. This gives you all the benefits of working in a professional office space without the difficulty of navigating leases, missed payments or uncomfortable conversations with a landlord.
2. Access to Networking Opportunities
One of the most important parts of being an entrepreneur is understanding what your audience, or the world in general needs. The only way to do this is to be around the people whose problems you’re trying to solve. Understanding your industry, the people that both work in it and buy from it is key to getting your ideas and your pitch right. Coworking allows you to meet, learn from and work alongside a number of people from with a variety of different skillsets and personality traits. All of this adds up to a much better understanding of humans in general, which in turn feeds a better version of your product or service.
3. Boosted Productivity and Positive Work Culture
While the convenience of working from home can give you a variety of freedom that a conventional office space may not, it can also become incredibly repetitive and leave you feeling bored and uninspired. Experiencing the same four walls whilst sat on your sofa in your pyjamas can make it feel like you’re not really part of a team, or truly a part of your work. Getting your head down in a focused, deliberate workplace amongst like minded people can give you a burst of both energy and inspiration to get your very best work done.
4. Amenities and Support Services
No need to worry whether the printer has ink, there’s enough teabags in the cupboards or if the WIFI’s going to hold out during those peak Monday morning meetings. Co-working spaces have everything you could ever need to get through your work day, including quality (and fully functioning) tech, delicious coffee and plenty of comfy furniture to let you relax whilst staying focused. You’ll also have tech support and a front desk available throughout your workday so you can deal with any issues as they come up rather than letting them derail your day.
5. Increased Creativity and Inspiration
Working in a new location with a variety of different people passing through from a variety of different backgrounds and careers can inspire you on levels you never thought possible. Different companies and different industries will all have a number of different ways to problem solve and ignite that spark, and in turn this can help you add different skills to your wheelhouse and overcome hurdles that previously may have held you back.
