Sure, subleasing office space sounds like a great idea…

“Don’t go and spend money on an office space, I’ve got a spare room at my office you can just work out of!” they said.

I’ve heard it from friends, clients and even suppliers. They all claim they can save money but in reality, the opportunity cost and risks involved can be more than you think. Before you jump in on what looks like the best deal on earth, here’s 5 things to be mindful of to protect your business today, and tomorrow.

WorkLodge, a Texas-based, Coworking Space announces it’s first ever, “Black Friday Sales” event offering unprecedented deals to help entrepreneurs and small business owners, battered by COVID-19 get back to work.

“The goal was to find a way that we could bring more value to our local, business community in a responsible and intentional way, while getting creative with our workspace offerings to help us help others, within our local communities”. – Mike Thakur, Founder

I’ve got to be honest here, before creating WorkLodge I was one of those folks that would go chair shopping and pick whatever I could find, as long as it was less than a couple hundred dollars. I’d look at one, maybe sit in it for a few seconds and that was the extent of my research.

When we started working on this business, I started to dig a little deeper because I knew our goal was to deliver a premium experience and level of quality, and I figured there must be more to the chair ‘thing’ than I knew.

Our founder built WorkLodge because the whole work from home thing wasn’t really working. It’s noisy and distracting. It’s challenging when the kids don’t understand it’s “work time” and it’s unproductive when you’re bombarded with distractions, by the hour and sometime by the minute. To cap it off, losing that separation of home life and work life wreaks havoc on those around you! The idea of working from home sounds great, but there was a reason office space was invented in the first place.

The future of office space is here, and it’s definitely not the one of the last decade. The rise of coworking spaces like WorkLodge, continue to open new doors for businesses and entrepreneurs. Needs can change quickly, but it looks like coworking spaces are checking all the boxes. Here are the 5 reasons Coworking Spaces are on the Rise:

People don’t want to commute for hours each day, losing their most precious commodity of all, time. They don’t want to be forced into the office 5 days per week when they can be successful doing some of that work elsewhere. They also don’t want to be forced to work from home when their home is their sanctuary, their safe place or fortress of solitude, where they escape the pressures of work at the end of a long day or week.
