Last week’s Wall Street Journal had a nice article about a subject near and dear to my heart – co-working. It’s a concept that I use for my business, as do many of my clients. The DC/Northern Virginia owners of Intelligent Office are clients of mine, just as my business is a client of theirs. Not only do they provide both permanent and temporary office space (including conference rooms), but they also provide what is – in my opinion – the much more valuable service of “support.” From having a live receptionist answer your calls, to having someone plan your meetings, manage your calendar/e-mails, send out thank-you cards, etc., Intelligent Office provides a level of support that would otherwise require that you hire someone full-or-part-time. Now, ideally your business would grow to the level that you would need to hire an administrative/executive assistant, but until that point, companies like Intelligent Office will provide a level of service that will enable you and your staff to focus on what you do best – execute and grow your business – rather than spend your valuable time on administrative work. It’s important to note that this service works even if you have your own office – the receptionist/administrative support is available regardless of your physical location.
Enjoy the article, and think about how you can incorporate co-working into your business to either save money on staff/rent or become more effective by freeing up your time to work on your business.
Grow Strong!
