Lessons Learned Working on My Own: Join a CoWorking Space

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Cassidy Noblejas Bartolomei

coworking space

After a year working for himself, Jonnie Hallman, founder of Destroy Today, LLC, reflects on the lessons learned from his successes and failures. Number three on his list? Join a coworking space.

“Inspiration is everywhere in a co-working space. Seeing others work hard inspires me to work harder. Watching others ship amazing products makes me want to do nothing but the same.”

After working out of Studiomates in New York, he describes the benefits of separating his time at home from his professional space.

“When at Studiomates, I’m in work mode. I put on my headphones and go full speed ahead. My desk does not sit directly next to my comfortable bed, nor do my video games feed my procrastination. At the end of the day, I ride the subway home and my mental gears shift. I feel a sense of relaxation that only home can provide. This separation keeps me sane.”

Read more of Hallman’s experience at a coworking space and check out the rest of the lessons he learned.
