SOCIAL INTERACTION
Humans need to interact, be part of a community & connect with other individuals.
Working from home in isolation can have it's benefits, however it can lead to procrastination, lack of motivation and loss of momentum in your business. Working in close proximity with other similar businesses to yourself can give you the working community you seek with no annoying office politics.
FLEXIBILITY
If you work at strange hours, have a deadline or just want some space to work on the weekend, using a co-working space is a great option. CO-WORKA offer books of Day Passes. You can use them as full days or half days. So only use the space when your workload dictates. What's more we are open 24hrs for some members.
AFFORDABLE
When you need to break out of the constraints of home but don't want the expense of a lengthy office lease. Co-working is an affordable alternative.
PRODUCTIVE
Productivity levels soar when using a co-working space. Our customers have told us this many times. It seems spending quality time on their business in a dedicated 'place' leads to better concentration and gets things done in a shorter timeframe! Now that can't be bad for business!
REGAIN YOUR HOME AGAIN
The spare room, home office or kitchen table can become all yours again. No longer covered in important paperwork and spreadsheets getting lost among the household junk. Separating your home and work spaces can be one of the most wonderfully liberating experiences.
MORE LEADS & CLIENTS
Many of our customers have been been swapping resources and generating leads for each other. Just airing an idea or saying what type of work you provide can lead to your business card being passed out at all the right moments.
CLIENT PERCEPTION
Let's face it we are all a brand. And if your brand screams 'I work from my kitchen table' your clients may seek others more established competitors. So having a separate work location will be beneficial for you and your brand image.
SHARING ADVICE AND IDEAS
It's amazing, if not a bit breathtaking, how many people help you out when you ask for it. Working alongside people from different industries all willing to mutually impart knowledge and advice is quite lovely. This very valuable and specific knowledge can aide your business growth in areas you need to strengthen. You just would not get this from working alone.
EXPAND YOUR NETWORK Being part co-working community expands your network. Meeting new people, learning about them and what they do, and finding common interests. It builds great friendships.
WORK PARTIES! The solo workers xmas party for one - home alone with a mince pie! Not if you are sharing an office. You will get invited to a plethora of parties and exhibitions, opening nights and launches. A lunchtime surf, sushi runs and coffee breaks. Better buy an extra diary.
