Hi Everyone, Long time lurker here. :)
I have decided to try opening a coworking space in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. I want to create a space that welcomes people in, inspires them to create, and helps them flourish in their chosen profession. A little about me: I am a freelance web and graphic designer. I’ve been a solo shop for 8 years now, and following the coworking scene for about 3 years. I have been thinking about starting this thing for a few years now, but fear always kept me from doing it. I recently decided that is idiotic, and so I’m going to take a stab at this. If it fails, I’ll know I tried. If I don’t try, I’ve failed. To do this, I’m going to need a great deal of help. I’m not a businessman, nor do I want to be. I will need help in planning and running the space. I’m creating the space because I want to work there myself, surrounded by my local community members. I have been poring over the Google Coworking Group the past few weeks, as well as researching spaces around the world. I have started talking to a few smart people that have offered to help me in their own unique ways. But I could use a few tips from the community as well. I would like to start reaching out to locals and begin discussing this. I want the space to be built on community, so I feel it’s important to start there. Any other suggestions would be so wonderful! Kelly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
