Entrepreneurs and freelancers focused on building their businesses frequently find themselves working in a bubble. This laser focus and determination creates a vacuum that helps them build their business, but it also seals them off from outside input and ideas.
Coworking spaces help pierce this bubble and inject fresh ideas and creative input into the business. In a coworking environment, different entrepreneurs can float their ideas and share honest feedback with one another that can help them build and expand their business.
Here are just a few of the ways coworking can jumpstart your early stage business.
Coworking Is A Hive of Creativity
Quite often, business owners have brilliant ideas but need a little extra help bringing these ideas to life. Coworking helps entrepreneurs gain a new perspective and broaden their field of vision. The input and advice available within a coworking space can make the difference between having average sales or a banner year.
Coworkers provide valuable insights, creative solutions and a fresh set of eyes onto problems your team may be struggling with. This can help entrepreneurs improve everything from marketing techniques to product design. While having a second opinion may seem unnecessary, it can have an enormous impact on the success of your business.
Coworking Creates Motivation
When you cowork, you are surrounded by dedicated entrepreneurs and other small businesses striving for success. This can be a powerful source of inspiration and motivation for any startup. For an entrepreneur, the word “day off” is as mythical and magical as a unicorn sighting.
While every entrepreneur needs to catch their breath from time to time, in a coworking environment, your coworkers provide significant support for those days when you need an extra boost of motivation.
Coworking Is Collaboration
No one is an expert in every field or aspect of running a business. In a coworking environment, you can draw on the expertise of others and share your expertise in return. This type of collaboration gives coworking enterprises an advantage over those that choose to go it alone.
According to a 2017 survey conducted by coworking magazine, Deskmag, businesses who work in a team are more creative, productive and confident. Seventy-one percent of those questioned reported that they were more creative as a result of coworking.
Coworkers provide valuable insights, creative solutions and a fresh set of eyes onto problems your team may be struggling with. This can help entrepreneurs improve everything from marketing techniques to product design. While having a second opinion may seem unnecessary, it can have an enormous impact on the success of your business.
Coworking Is Community
Entrepreneurs are strong, but communities are stronger. Entrepreneurs who engage in coworking spaces become a part of a larger community. This stays with you, even when you go out on your own.
Coworking spaces make it easier to tap into networks of customers and vendors, investor capital and services. Deskmag estimates that up to one million people will be working in coworking spaces by the end of this year.
Entrepreneurs recognize the importance of working in close proximity to others who share the same business goals and professional values. This creates a close, tight-knit community that provides the guidance and support that entrepreneurship thrives within.
