How the Right Workspace Helps Entrepreneurs Focus and Flourish

No matter how much we believe in the power of coworking spaces, there’s only one voice that truly matters when you’re deciding whether to take the leap and try one out for yourself - our members’. 

From college advisors and online instructors to website designers and financial consultants, WorkSmart houses a unique blend of creative entrepreneurs and business professionals. While their careers may differ, there’s one thing our members seem to have in common – their love of the atmosphere.

Maria Nissi, one of our treasured members at WorkSmart, is an Independent College Advisor who joined us in 2022. As a remote worker and mom, she struggled to stay focused in a home environment filled with distractions, from household chores to barking dogs. When her business started to grow, it became clear that working from home wasn’t sustainable. She needed a change.

 

“WorkSmart has helped me flourish and grow my business in ways that I otherwise wouldn’t have imagined. Every client, or potential client who walks in here just looks up. They look up at the cathedral ceilings, and I point out the architecture and the gargoyles – it's just that perfect, professional blend of the historic and modern which I really love. For me I do meet clients most days of the work week, just being able to come in here and walk into my clean, beautiful office, and use the conference room whenever I need to is a dream,” said Maria.

 

Coworking spaces like WorkSmart are on the rise, and Maria is just one of many who have experienced extreme business growth since joining. Recent coworking statistics show that 83% of users experience career growth and expanded professional networks, with 64% reporting that they get additional freelance work from their coworking space connections. 

This rise in popularity isn’t just a trend; it’s a smart move for professionals looking to grow their client base. For Maria, WorkSmart didn’t just provide a quiet, beautiful space to work; it elevated her brand.

The curated atmosphere creates a lasting impression on clients, while the day-to-day interactions with other members often spark unexpected referrals and new business. Simply by being present in a space built for growth, Maria and others like her have tapped into a wellspring of opportunity.
