That's an amazing perspective from 2 years in.
A few weeks before writing this article, I tried joining a co-working space. I was there to work around people. I went and chatted with people. I went to their weekly breakfast social event. But I realized a lot of the people were in 2 or larger size companies there, so they came with their group, had lunch together, had "happy hour" time together, and went back.
I also realized that although I'm there once a week to chit chat, others are there any day to work with their colleagues.
How was your experience in going to co-working space when self-employed over the last 2 years?
