The Truth <\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00abIt is easy to make false assumptions\u00bb <\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

With Coworking being a somewhat new concept to Europe, there is still a lot of uncertainty about it. When something is new and foreign, it is easy to make false assumptions. Otherwise known as the<\/span> fear of the unknown.<\/b> The fact of the matter is coworking is this dynamic concept of a shared office space. It’s an oasis of creativity. It’s a safe quiet space to work. It’s a place to network and make unique friends. Coworking has the possibility of being whatever you make it out to be.<\/span> Don’t let the myths fool you.<\/b><\/p>\n

Myth #1: Coworking is only for freelancers, entrepreneurs, and startups <\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00abThey’re open and welcome to all\u00bb<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

People believe that they can only join a coworking space if they fall under one of the above categories. With this myth there’s also the belief that you must be a \u00abmillennial\u00bb or \u00abyoung\u00bb to join. Although the definition for young is \u00abhaving lived for a short time\u00bb it’s a subjective word because you’re as young as you feel! Within our own<\/span> community<\/span><\/a> at La Vaca <\/span>we have co workers ranging from all ages<\/b>. This is one of the many unique aspects of coworking spaces. You’ll encounter a broad spectrum of people which adds to the spirit of a space. The diversity in industries, countries, and personalities represented make <\/span>this environment extremely diverse and accepting<\/b>. There are no rules when it comes to a coworking space and they’re open and welcome to all. Coworking <\/span>breaks the mold of a traditional office<\/b> space, therefore there isn’t any one type of coworker.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Man<\/p>\n

Myth #2: All Coworkings are the same<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00abDiversity of coworking spaces\u00bb<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

No one person is alike therefore <\/span>no one coworking space is alike.<\/b> One thing that’s true is that coworking spaces do try to offer the same amenities in their space. They typically offer kitchen\/ coffee areas, large desk spaces, meeting rooms, and other office tools. Regardless, the coworking spaces in Barcelona, in some way, all maintain a minimalistic vibe. What differentiates a space is their location, aesthetic, and community. Being that Barcelona is such a versatile city, you can get a bit of beach, city, and mountainside. Barcelona is also a very worldly city that attracts people from all around the world. This versatility is represented in the diversity of coworking spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here at La Vaca<\/a>, there’s a specific aesthetic. It offers tranquil vibes and a versatile space that’s guaranteed to<\/span> fit everyone’s needs.<\/b> All spaces are created under a different vision which changes the design. Some maybe more modern and others may be more \u00abhomey\u00bb. Each space has a unique design, so that a person or company may choose the atmosphere they think will best suit them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The community in a space varies from coworking to coworking. Each attract different groups of people due to the design, services, and location. Others may cover more social events or others may offer a bigger space. What’s important is to<\/span> try out different spaces<\/b> within your host country so that you find which fit your needs best before buying into this myth. <\/span><\/p>\n

Myth #3: Coworking spaces are too loud <\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00abA quiet relaxing space to work is a priority\u00bb<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Although socialising and making connections are all big perks of a coworking space you also want to be able to<\/span> get work done.<\/b> Many people believe that work and play don’t mix, so a coworking space seems to be unproductive, but that is false. Coworking spaces offer multiple spaces and rooms where you can <\/span>find your zone.<\/b> Like in La Vaca, there are large common spaces, along with multiple insulated rooms where you can get on a phone call or find extreme silence. So rest assured you’re not getting yourself into a space where you are constantly surrounded by noisy brainstorming sessions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, a pro tip is to always bring your headphones. Headphones is a universal sign for \u00abI don’t want to converse right now\u00bb or \u00abI’m busy\/ in my zone\u00bb. A key part of a coworking space is to cater to any need you may have: a quiet relaxing space to work is a priority. Generally, everyone is on the same page. The <\/span>main objective of this space is to work, socialising comes second<\/b>. So, this myth can be easily debunked.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Man<\/p>\n

Give it a go!<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00abTest them out and then pick your favorite!\u00bb<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

With the coworking trend on the rise there are sure to be more myths that come along with it. One tip is to <\/span>be open-minded <\/b>when it comes to change and especially when trying a new coworking space. <\/span>A coworking space, like people, have their own personalities.<\/b> It can be considered a \u00abliving\u00bb space because they’re constantly changing and growing. After debunking these myths you should feel more confident about either your choice in joining a coworking space<\/a> or the choice you’ve already made in being part of one. Also remember, you can always do a day pass to test them out and then pick your favourite! <\/span>Spread the word <\/b>about how amazing coworking spaces are and help debunk myths about these lively spaces. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
