Have You Heard Of Coworking?

Being a stay-at-home father I am always looking for ways to get out of the house and meet other adults that share my interests. Don’t get me wrong, I actually like hanging out with my 3 and 11 year old sons, but finding new friends closer to my age range would defiantly be a plus. So when I read a story on lifehack.org about Co-working vs Working-from-home it caught my attention.

What is coworking?

Coworking is basically like working from home and hanging out with other self employed people in an office/cafe like environment. Instead sitting in your home office (or on the couch) all day, you can have a place to go and meet other work from home people, work together, and share an office/cafe type place when you want to. It’s kind of like having a normal office job that you can goto when you want, work at your own speed, be around other self employed people like you, and still be your own boss.

I think coworking is such a great idea I am looking for a way to start a coworking office here in Moore Oklahoma. If coworking sounds like something you might be interested in checkout the Coworking Community Blog and Coworking Wiki for more information and to find a location in your are. If there are no coworking sites in your area this might be the perfect opportunity for you to start your own business creating coworking communities.
