    My neighbor (down the street) used co-working after her house was burned down to the ground. She used co-working for about 1 year during the rebuilding process of her home and renovations...she owns her own business and needed a temporary place to work along with two of her employees.

    That's when I discovered those places are located in my own city.

    Yeah.

    I'm currently looking into co-working myself with a few other traders. I begin trading many many years ago in an office environment (Seattle area near the Kingdom) with 5 traders before settling down into trading from home when I moved to another country...

    Now I'm going back to the office environment but this time I prefer not to be in a "trading room" like before. This time I want to be in an environment with more than just traders and wouldn't care if I was the only trader in a co-working office...I plan to test a few out this coming summer.

    that's a great input. i think there is some value to being around other non traders. My own experience is that the room lent a lot of idea input. tension breaking that would not be had from non traders

    No quality control unless you get people who are of the same level, people will get fed up with others taking their knowledge and/or the less experienced will just become annoying due to lack of understanding wanting to be trained. The theory is nice, and for a time it can work, but unless you put strict filters in place and make sure you adhere to them kicking people out you have more chance of failure than success.

    The point is very simple, what does each person gain from it, we set this up with one of our structures but it's tiered and the lower tiers have zero access upwards. Unless you understand corporate top-down structures, which I do as I advised C-Suite, then you need to keep it flat. Basically you need an accreditation process but with exceptions for more and less experienced to keep the environment from decaying.
