[Coworking] Building a community
Hello everyone, I'm new to the group, and I am fascinated by the co-working movement. I am also interested in starting one locally in South Florida. I've read numerous articles, and most of them suggest building a community before attempting to open a location, which makes sense of course, but how exactly does one go about doing that? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.

[Coworking] Building A Community
Hello, all! I've recently begun the journey to open up a coworking space in my city. After reading through various postings, books, websites etc...it seems that many owners stress the importance of building a coworking community BEFORE opening a space. What are some key recommendations on how to build this community. Very curious to hear what worked/didn't work. Thank you! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.

Re: [Coworking] Building a community
Short answer: Start making lots of friends. Medium answer: Go to places where people gather and get to know them as people. Organize events of your own around things you are interested in. Ensure there is beer nearby.
