13. COWORK?
WHY
When you’re ridin’ solo, it can be hard finding a
work environment that’s motivating and doesn’t
cost you an arm and leg to get shit done.

14. INSTEAD OF
Being on your lonesome at home (and fighting the battle
with the fridge and that pile of washing that really should
be done)
Renting an office space that costs you more than you make
Getting subtle vibes from your local cafe that they’re kinda
tired of having your butt imprint on their seat

having valuable expertise just seats away from you comes in handy when
you’re stuck on ideas and need some advice.

in your work schedule
Coworking spaces are
flexible, there are no
big scary contracts
locking you to year-
long commitments.

schedule or suddenly get hit
with an influx of work
while your rellies are
