Cathryn, I live in Texas and I also took advantage of the SBDC of Texas. It is a great resource. Also our Chamber of Commerce offers leadership training programs. They are not industry specific but are fairly comprehensive and attendees are other local business owners. It is a great networking opportunity. The more you can share what you are doing and educate people about Co-Working the bigger your reach.

Hi Cathryn, I live in Erie, PA and we have two classes available--both of which are available in many other cities. I took both classes and they've helped me immensely. One is thru the local SBDC office (Small Business Development Center) and the other is via a curriculum called Co.Starters. If you can find either of those in your city they'd be a good place to start. Penny Mechley-Porter Thrive Therapy Space On Mon, Apr 15, 2019 at 4:33 AM Cathryn Davis <[email protected]> wrote: Hello! I’m considering starting a co-working space in my town however I have zero knowledge of business or entrepreneurship which frankly makes me feel quite unprepared! The co-working resources have been super helpful, but I feel like I need to know more. I currently work in higher ed, so I have the luxury of professional development funding to use. Are there any classes you’d recommend taking or wish you’d taken before starting your space? There seem to be a number of entrepreneurship fundamentals certificates out there to choose from, which I’m leaning towards. However I’m open to suggestions! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
