Key Findings from the 2011 Freelance Industry Report
Get out of your home office and find a better place to work.
The 2011 Freelance Industry Report found that freelancers weathered the recession better than other traditional employees with 52 percent stating the recession hardly made an impact on their income.
It’s not a surprise then that 59 percent of freelance workers are happier now than they were before choosing the solo route, nor is it shocking that 54 percent would never go back.
The most striking statistic, however, is that 90 percent of those who freelance do so from home, which causes one to ask: is this why the top three challenges for these individuals are managing time, staying productive, and maintaining motivation throughout the work week?
Truth is, it’s hard to focus when your dogs are yapping, your house needs dusting or there is a Law and Order marathon on TV. Suddenly the home office you thought would save you lots of money and time has become a source of overwhelming distractions.
CoLab Orlando provides a reprieve from hectic work environments. Renting a desk, cubicle or office space can almost be like a home office away from home.
You still have the flexibility of working on your own schedule and coming and going whenever you please, but with the added bonus of a quiet workspace occupied by other entrepreneurs who share your same aspirations.
To experience this for yourself, give us a call and set up a tour. CoLab offers desk space for as low as $99 a month and small office suites starting at $199. All coworking memberships come with free use of the conference rooms, free high speed internet, free printing and free coffee.
