Getting Introduced to coworking<\/h2>\n
And that was when a friend suggested becoming a member of a neighborhood\u00a0coworking space<\/a>. I decided to give the idea a short try for a fortnight or so to see how things went. After that initial phase, “coworking replaced my home office and I have never looked back since then<\/strong>“. So,\u00a0how did coworking\u00a0moved my home office? Here are five solid reasons:<\/p>\n You can argue that a coworking space isn\u2019t always free from distractions. There can be more chatter and noise there than in a home office. If you look at it from my perspective, you will get my point. The biggest distraction in my home office was that I could take a break from work at any time and start watching the TV or indulge in a quick nap. There was no one to give me a rap on the shoulder.<\/p>\n However, in my coworking space in Gurgaon, I was surrounded by people who were doing their work in a diligent manner. This inspired me to be productive at my work as well. I wasn\u2019t tempted to take a break every now and then. In other words, even if I had to put up with a few distractions, I actually ended up being more productive than in my home office.<\/p>\n For some people, networking is an easy thing to do. For others, it is a dreadful proposition. However, one can\u2019t ignore that networking is essential for the growth of a business. But to network, you have to meet people, which is not possible when you are working all day long from a home office. To be honest, I was never a pro at networking. Until I became a member of a shared workspace, I wasn\u2019t even sure how to build my network.<\/p>\n Coworkers\u00a0interacting informally @ The Office Pass, Gurgaon All that changed when I shifted to coworking. I won\u2019t say my network started to grow overnight \u2013 it never happens this way. Also, it\u2019s not necessary that you like every person working in your shared office. However, regular interactions with some of those people with whom I liked talking helped me to meet more like-minded people and my network started to form in an effortless manner.<\/p>\n For all the pros of working from a home office, one glaring con was that I wasn\u2019t able to meet my clients there. So, every time I had to meet a client, I selected a neighborhood caf\u00e9 for the same. This always left me wondering about what impression my clients got regarding such an arrangement. But when I started working at the coworking space\u00a0in Gurgaon\u00a0<\/strong>near my home, this issue got resolved effectively. I now had a professional place where I could meet my clients.<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0<\/strong>Grow Your Business Fast with Coworking Spaces<\/a><\/p>\n As it is, coworking spaces are a highly cost-effective option in comparison to regular offices taken on rent. On top of that, many coworking spaces have various membership options that cater to clients of all pockets. For instance, TheOfficePass is one high-quality shared office that offers long and short-term membership options. They also offer flexible membership options for less frequent users.<\/p>\n My well-equipped home office had almost everything that I required to get my work done efficiently. But this also meant that I was responsible for keeping everything in a functional mode. If anything in my home office broke down or needed maintenance, I was required to take time out of my busy schedule and solve the issue. But the scenario was very different in the coworking space for freelancers<\/a> from where I carried out my work. The plug and play<\/a> mode of the shared office meant that I didn\u2019t have to bother about either setting up the office or maintaining it. All I needed to do was walk into the place and get on fulfilling my professional commitments.<\/p>\n Community event at The Office Pass, Coworking space in Gurgaon\u00a0 Apart from the regular facilities like Wi-Fi, printer, meeting rooms, lockers, coffee machines, etc. coworking also offers other perks that are essential for a growing business. For instance, my coworking office regularly organizes community events for its members. Such events are a great place to exchange ideas, find investors, and learn new things.
