Should you compare your coworking space to other coworking spaces?

Should you compare your coworking space to other coworking spaces?

No.

Here is why - there's a saying from a bigger text that reads like this:

"When you compare yourself to others, you may become vain or bitter."

And I think that's definitely a danger.

Also, when you spend a lot of time worrying what other people are doing, you take away your own personal focus from what you're doing.

In some cases, that will make you mentally ill.

Being overly obsessed with something, especially when it's not going well, can have a negative impact on your mental health.

Focus your energy on your current task, not what someone else is doing.

By focusing on your work, you can find your full potential and maximize the potential of your coworking space.

People tend to support small, local independent businesses with strong leaders.

Think about the spaces you know in London - you can name the owner or community manager.

And people love things that are individual, quirky and unique, cookie cutter, best in class and global sucks.

✅ Pro tip:

Follow Simon Sinek's advice and select a 'worthy rival' whenever you feel the need to make a comparison.

That's someone you could be friends with and have some friendly competition with to benchmark yourself.

(I chose Marc Navarro and Phil Szomszor - they could both stand in as better looking versions of me at events if I'm sick 🤣)

Have a remarkable day.

Be careful out there.

It is a jungle.
