Thanks, Ramon. I refuse to stop sharing, even though some people misuse it. My main concern with misuse is that it spoils attempts for legitimate communities to form. There have been three local attempts outside of Cowork Niagara that haven’t been successful now, so I don’t want people to get the idea that it doesn’t work. I want to keep sharing ‘how’ it works.
What I’ve heard in the past 2 years: "I can do that myself faster.” “We’re going to advertise to build the customer base.” “Our customers are ready now. We can’t wait to <airquotes>build the community.</airquotes>” -------------------------------------------- Trevor Twining Cowork Niagara http://coworkniagara.com <http://coworkniagara.com/> Home of Niagara’s independent workforce twitter: @coworkniagara, @trevortwining cel: 416-201-2254 > On Oct 17, 2015, at 7:15 AM, Ramon Suarez <ra...@betacowork.com> wrote: > > Great post.
