Alternate locations

Made contact with a couple of helpful souls on the coworking google group. Nice that there are people who are willing to give it away.

I did a quick search for coworking in Asheville, NC after a Facebook chat with a colleauge who is out there this week, and there do not appear to be any coworking establishments there, but found a post or two of people who were interested. Aville may be have more of that creative class element that I am thinking is necessary to support not only the coworking business, but the values. Greensboro is still going to be my primary focus during my initial concept phase, but I will keep alternative locations in my mind, Asheville being especially attractive to me since, over the last year, I have returned there a couple times and have raised the possibility of relocating there. Even had a conversation last year with our HR director, trying to convince here that my job did not need to sit in Greensboro, since I have no direct reports there and most of the work I do is on the phone overseas.

It didn’t fly… no wonder I am attracted to this concept so much. Just another way to express my rebellion.

Time to do some inspiring reading about the trials and tribulations of Coworking pioneers.
