Hi Everyone, I joined the group a few days ago and it's awesome to see how helpful you all are ! As someone who has been working out of a home office for 6 years I've recently approached a point of true clarity that I just can't make it happen this way anymore ! I've been thinking about coworking A LOT since reading one of the NYT pieces a while back and placed the proverbial "who's interested" Craigslist ad here in Denver CO. The next day the Hive was featured one of the local papers ! I've gotten a few responses from Craigslist and had some very cool synergistic conversations.
I'm glad to hear some of you in general saying - start by building community. This has made sense to me for a couple of my own reasons as well.... First, I don't want to build and own another business by myself, in fact that's not my main motivation for this at all and clearly- the kind of community I want seems to have to come from a grass roots and collective place. Secondly, I really just want a great place to work and to have more of a team relationship with others rather than just interacting with clients and only clients all day. With this in mind I was thinking about more of a co-op model of ownership . I have a small human services company- do a lot of consulting, training and technical assistance in the human services field- staff and organiztional development, psychotherapy, mind-body wellness, and then some direct services like life coaching, yoga and mindfulness instruction. The cool thing is that the two people I've talked to are also interested in a space where there would be commonality in work style/needs and value type stuff but diversity in terms of industry. I'm open to any "how do I get started" feedback that might be offered. But my big question for now is, In terms of gathering and generating interest, what's the best way to take it beyond Craigslist ? I was thinking about papering/postcarding all my favorite coffee houses and other spots. Any thoughts ? Thanks already for being such a great resource.
