[Coworking] Our first 18 months: we doubled our revenue, and we're still losing money.

2016-01-08 Thread Matt D. 
Hey everyone. 

We just hit the 18-month mark, and we decided to take an honest look at how 
we're doing. Turns out we've had some nice growth, but were still losing money. 

We've laid it all out - data, financials and some honest analysis of what's 
still gotdoing we're in our coworking business/operations in order for us to 
find profitability - which we will! If you're interested, please take a read:

Hope you find it useful. Let me know if I can answer any questions! Thanks!

This is great stuff Matt.  We just came through our 8th year and I compiled
98 months of data to present to an advisory group of members next week.
Susan is taking the data and making it all in to pretty graphs.  I gained a
lot of inspiration from your post.  We are discussing succession planning
so the focus is a little different, but this kind of analysis can really
help us frame the conversation in the right way.  Thanks for the great post
and the perfect timing.

Another really insightful post, Matt!

I have an adjacent question...how are you doing those awesome graphs?
