Apparently these are the things you should never say in a coworking office

admin — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 10:09:47 +0000

Community, not service, is fuelling the rise of coworking

admin — Fri, 30 Nov 2018 07:13:40 +0000

No man is an island. Indeed, the pursuit of happiness is arguably a search for connection – and when it comes to business, an isolationist approach would signal the beginning of the end for any company, big or small.

Coworking hotels are the latest digs for digital nomads

admin — Thu, 22 Nov 2018 16:10:36 +0000

If there is one thing Millennials love – more than organic coffee, selfies and not having to talk to people in real life – it’s a hybrid. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than bringing together two, beloved ideas together and blending them in perfect unison to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts.

admin — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 17:09:54 +0000

Be under no illusions: starting a start up, and running a small business, is no easy feat. Long hours, constant problem solving and poor pay, at least initially, is enough to send the sturdiest of souls back to full-time employment. Perversely, it is the very challenges that running one’s own company presents that tempts entrepreneurs to do it. High risk offers high reward, and one person&#
