Join the emerging trend of 'Co-working'

Picture
Co-working is a new way to work! 
It's a local place where you can hire a workstation 
or private office to work from for the day. 
Why work alone at home when you can work 
alongside other business owners in the same space. Rubbing shoulders with other business start-ups, independent freelancers on a daily basis expands 
your contacts, knowledge and referrals.

The Wikipedia definition hails coworking as an emerging global trend, as there are 
hundreds of co-working spaces popping up in cities and towns across the world. 
Australia is no exception, the strong demand for flexible working spaces has 
resulted in recent articles in the Australian press.

Networking benefits 
Meeting new people with ideas and knowledge can vastly broaden your contact list. By its very nature coworking is a community of people who want to share in the skills and ideas that each person brings to the environment.
Most importantly a shared workspace is a place to get your work done, be productive and be inspired by new your surroundings.
Home/Work Life Balance
If you usually work from home, it can be hard to set a structure to the work day when you're distracted by the overflowing wash basket or the cat that wants feeding. Getting out of the house and working in a shared workspace can free up your home to be just that, a home. No more blurred boundaries.
