Feeling isolated working at home? Try a coworking space.


Many entrepreneurial businesses start in the proprietor’s home. For some, this is exciting; while others miss the personal connection and water cooler conversation of the office. If you are an entrepreneur that misses having a co-worker to shoot the breeze with, coworking might just be for you.

Coworking is where independent professionals elect to work in a shared space. This type of workspace allows you to get out of the house and socialize with like minded- professionals and eliminates the need to spend hours at a local coffee shop. At most coworking locations, for a monthly fee, you are provided all the essentials to help you launch and grow your business. To take a further look and see what coworking is all about, check out this Columbus, Ohio-based company, Qwirk..

Also, here is a video about coworking in Austin , Texas .

So, if starting your business from home is too isolating, join a coworking space. It will have you feeling inspired all over again. And best of all, you’ll leave that feeling of isolation behind.

    Agree with lost-n-lust; these people should not be allowed to post comments if they don't have a legitimate site you can go back and comment on.

    If you work at home you need to get out and go for breakfast before starting your day. It makes it like you are going to the office and sets your frame of mind. Plus, you get some interaction at the restaurant with others which also helps.

    Everybody needs an office. The office share or meet-to-office ideas are good ones.

    CarolB & Sophie'sMom- I am glad you ladies enjoyed the post. I think the coworking spaces are such a great idea. I just had to share. And if they aren't for you, CarolB I agree with you. You should at least get out of our home once a day for that peer to peer interaction and it does help set your frame of mind. Good advice!
