Entrepreneurs have unique lifestyles that don’t look anything like the “normal” 9-5 job. After all, business owners know that a job has to get done…even if that means staying up late or relocating temporarily to another city. In recent years, co-working spaces have enabled creatives and entrepreneurs to work in shared office areas. This communal environment has definite pros and cons. In this post, we’ll discuss some of the benefits of co-working as well as unique benefits of fully furnished short term rentals that can also serve as a home office!
Why would you need co-working space?

Some entrepreneurs thrive on flexible schedules, while others struggle with setting work / life boundaries and a consistent daily output. Co-working spaces allow people to come into a separate office setting to visually and physically distance “work” from “home”.
Want to meet new people in a like-minded setting? Coworking allows you to network with other business professionals and share your own stories as well as learn from theirs.
Why choose fully furnished short term rentals instead?
Of course, co-working isn’t the perfect solution for everyone. In fact, business owners may prefer working in the quieter, more comfortable environment provided by fully furnished short term rentals.
Here at Shreveport Bossier Corporate Housing, we work hard to ensure that our condos for rent are conducive to the needs of someone balancing work and home life. Each rental is equipped with high-speed wireless internet, a desk and chair for your office area and an HP or Epson printer for printing reports. No need to worry about coffee, either! Rentals feature equipped kitchen areas with access to stove, fridge, microwave and even a Keurig machine!
One huge benefit of working from your rental is the cost savings. Why pay for two spaces when you can use one? You’re also saving on gas costs to and from your rental. Plus, it can be hard to think straight or talk with clients via Zoom or phone when other people are milling about (such as in a coworking space).
As far as community, there are other ways to meet people and make new friends. Consider local Meetup groups, religious gatherings, gym membership, sports, art classes etc. If your clients live in the area you’re staying in temporarily, ask them for recommendations. Are you a pet owner? Many of our rentals are pet-friendly, so you literally can take your dog to work if you desire! Who can deny the unconditional love and companionship of a dog?!
We know small business because we’re a small business too. Give our owner, Debi, a call at 318-548-6156 to ask about current availability. You can also Contact us via our online form. We would love to hear from you!
