Cheers Tony,
Indeed, European situation is not that different.
Today I had a freshman coworker who lost his job two months ago. He came in
by accident never before hearing of coworking at all.
After three hours he was leaving with his job done and two new deals he got
from another coworker who
I totally agree we should facilitate as best as we can. But sometimes even if
you bring a horse to water, you can't make the horse drink. The best we can do
is point the way and provide him tools.
Our best tool is to make in-person introductions. We can of course manage for
ourselves what
hi Tony
The ability to provide for oneself is a natural right' not a privilege
I recently shifted my focus from management coworking space management
to change managemenI with a view of creating 'industries' while the
original focus was the creative sector, we've been approached by
Hey. Tony and all,
If anybody were, say, moved to put this presentation on the Coworking

I have been saying this for years. Forget Occupy demanding jobs. Go out and
create them. And unions would be far more effective buying controlling
shares of the companies on behalf of the workers, so that workers get their
share of the profits and can eventually own all the public corporations
This is very inspiring Tony.
My experience of coworking is limited to a bunch of programmers sat in a
large room with their laptops still communicating via twitter etc.
This concept and the other ideas you put forward make the whole thing more
workable.

Deborah, that's fantastic. It's a perfect example of the kind of maturation
that's taking place in coworking spaces right now. We've always been great
places for people to build their businesses, but to date that's largely
been seen as the serendipitous side effect. Now, we're designing for these
Tony and everyone,
This is awesome. This is right in alignment with a flurry of activity
that’s happening here at Convivium: People are coming to join our coworking
space because they just quit their “day jobs” and are now pursuing their
dream of starting their own solopreneurship. They
Tony, I'm with you 200 %.
We should be prepared for the days coworking will be an industry.
Our members and the people we meet everyday in our coworking spaces get the
just (f*g) do it mantra. But what about the others. I've met tons of
people - and some are good friends - to whom the just

explicit part of our agenda. Not just to do what we do, but to do what we
do with a shared ambition help more people work for themselves.*
Tony, this is exactly the question I want to ask the coworking community!
I also
They have to pay the rent and worry about filling their desks, connecting the
wifi and selling coffee.
Delegation, baby. Delegation.
If you're more than a year into running your coworking space and you're still
the only person doing these things (I'm not just talking about hired staff),
Miles, fair points-- there are obviously huge forces at work when we talk
about jobs and the global economy. I'm interested in focusing on that which
we can do right now to help move things forward. Perhaps we can't
singlehandedly fix everything, but I'm betting we can put a serious dent in
Tony, your post yesterday was strangely prescient. Walking home Tuesday
night, I had a conversation with a young homeless woman I chat with most
mornings. I suspected, but didn't know for sure until that night what her
situation was. She had checked out a Cowork Frederick flyer and wanted to
Glen, that's a fantastic story. Can you please keep me/us in the loop? I'd
love to highlight the stories of people who are working to become
self-sufficient as examples for others.

Tony, this slideshow is great and illustrates the real evolution in our
national economy that coworking is a part of.
To get real innovation we have to rely on smaller and more flexible
organizations. Coworking feeds that environment. We need more understanding
