And for those lucky enough to have Web-based jobs, working from home is the only option—if you have power, cell service and Internet connection, that is. While there is a huge benefit to working from home post-storm, it typically comes with a productivity cost. For many new business owners, working from home is distracting, and to be honest, a bit lonely. I have been self-employed for over 20 years and while I enjoy the quiet atmosphere of home, I get more work done when in a place with people around. And storm recovery takes a toll both financially and emotionally. That's why co-working could make sense, either with coworkers who live nearby or with strangers who could become friends or business contacts. If there is a co-working space near you, here's why it's worth considering. -- -- -- Bill Ries-Knight Stockton, CA Respect the process, Vote.
