One of the great challenges of running your own business is time. It seems to disappear into thin air, when deadlines remain carved in stone. One of our sharers www.cadenceworks.co.uk have been working on a proposal this week for a piece of public policy research (its what they do!). They are working in partnership (that's what they do!) and while they are very experienced at both these things, it does not make it any easier fitting everything in in time for the submission deadline. The thing about these deadlines is that they are often on a Friday and the submitting email is so often met with an out of office reply (occasionally for a 2 week holiday), suggesting the back breaking (relationship jeopardising/social life quashing) effort to get the thing in on time, was not necessary!
One of the the reasons (there are many ...) small businesses struggle with time is that you have to do everything; accounts, office paper recycling, marketing, cleaning, business plans, office decorating and so on. People who work from home also have to have iron wills to resist ironing/DIY/daytime TV or in winter retreat under the duvet.
Having a shared space to work in like Spaceworks will not solve this time issue, but it will give you the chance to be around others who are facing the same struggles and sometimes we genuinely can help each other out with frustrating IT problem, or recommendation of a good print place or even a blood sugar restoring snack.
