Jodi, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will write this, but I will speak only for myself when I say - I would not be an owner of Office Nomads or a member of the ON community if I didn't think it was going to survive and thrive even despite economic yo-yoing. I have the utmost confidence in what we have going on over here, and I know that even though Office Nomads is never going to make millions (because we've never set out to do so), we are certainly not going to fold anytime soon.
Part of what builds my confidence is the strength of the community we've grown here at the office - I know that before we ever had to close our doors I'd see support coming in from members, our property managers (who love us too), as well as our friends and family. And the support comes not for Jacob and I (the owners) but for Office Nomads the community - it is in everyone's interest to keep this space afloat. I see this nearly every time a group of Nomads gets together - it is rare that someone doesn't mention some great idea to get the word out about what we're doing and how they can help strengthen our membership. This is not to say that other spaces haven't had the same, but I simply cannot fathom or even realistically forsee Office Nomads ever going under simply due to the awesome folks who are here keeping our doors open every day. Some might call us crazy, point out all the flaws that still exist in the coworking world, but I'd say that the fact that more and more spaces continue to open each day and that we see the movement grow and gain popularity (even if it is just the 2000+ of us on this list!) should give us confidence that even though the path may change direction from time to time, we'll be around for some time to come.
