AI for Coworking Quiz - https://ai-coworking.scoreapp.com/

🚨 Only 6% of people use AI at work.

That’s what Deloitte found when they surveyed 4,150 people.

Six %!

AI is everywhere—yet most people haven’t even scratched the surface.

That’s why we built the AI for Coworking Quiz.

In less than five minutes, it shows you:

- Where are you in your AI journey?

- What tools are you missing?

- And how to start saving serious time in your space.

At the time of posting, eight people had already emailed back, saying how this had helped them save time and money, mainly because they had no idea that this was possible with readily available AI platforms.

After the quiz, you can grab the free 5-day AI Crash Course for Coworking Spaces — packed with real prompts, examples, and workflows you can use right away.

👇 Take the quiz and see where you stand:

Community is not a business model.

It doesn’t matter how friendly your space feels.

If people wouldn’t fight to keep it open, you’ve got a structure problem.

Not a marketing problem.

Not a mood problem.

A foundation problem.

If your space disappears when the coffee runs out or the manager takes a break—

That wasn’t a community.

That was an atmosphere.

And the atmosphere doesn’t keep the lights on.

So what does?

→ Real relationships

→ A shared purpose

→ Clear agreements

→ Recurring revenue

As Joana at DINAMO10 says:

Coworking is an action, not a place.

It’s not a mood.

It's not a Pinterest board.

It’s a place people need—and would fight to keep.

Would your members notice if you weren’t there next week?

Would they care?

That’s the level we need to be operating at.

🚀 Why Are People Quietly Quitting Your Coworking Space? Here’s the Real Reason.

If members are quietly fading away, it’s not about price—it’s about connection.

💡 People don’t just buy a desk.

They buy a community. But if they don’t feel seen or engaged, they’ll stop showing up and eventually leave.

✅ Here’s how to stop quiet quitting in your coworking space:

Make introductions when someone joins—don’t leave them to figure it out.

Keep connections alive beyond onboarding—introductions aren’t a one-time thing.

Host regular member lunches—people stay when they build genuine relationships.

If members don’t feel like they belong, they won’t stay. Your job? Make them feel like they do.

📢 🚀 Struggling to Attract New Members to Your Coworking Space? Try This.

If people aren’t joining your coworking space, the problem might not be price—it’s perceived value.

💡 Here’s how to make your space stand out:

✅ Highlight the Value – Your website header should clearly communicate what problem your space solves.

✅ Boost Visibility – Optimize your Google Maps & Business Listing with strong social proof.

✅ Enhance the Experience – If staying home is easier, they’ll choose that. Make your space the better option.

✅ Leverage Social Media – Show potential members your thriving community & events.

🚀 It’s not just about being seen—it’s about being perceived as indispensable.

Too often, coworking spaces compare desk pricing to working from home. But here’s the truth: people aren’t buying a desk—they’re buying something much bigger.

💡 What are they actually paying for?

✅ Getting out of the house & into a professional environment

✅ Access to a community, structure, and daily motivation

✅ Opportunities to network, collaborate, and grow

When I first paid for a desk 15 years ago, I wasn’t buying the desk—I was buying the freedom to work outside my house.

🚀 If you’re struggling to articulate your pricing, shift the conversation. It’s not about selling desks—it’s about selling a better way to work.

📢 🚀 I Wish This Existed When I Ran a Coworking Space

My favourite coworking spaces are built by people solving their own problems.

That’s exactly why we started the Coworking Community Builder Cohort. When I ran a coworking space in Euston, we were doing everything at once:

✅ Marketing & getting new members

✅ Fixing dishwashers & moving furniture

✅ Renting out offices & meeting rooms (sometimes swapping them around!)

💡 What made it work? Community. Back then, we had a thing called “Not So Manic Monday,” a 12-week sprint during which freelancers and creators set goals together.

That same energy is what makes the Community Builder Cohort powerful.

🚀 The next cohort starts in March. If you’ve been following along, you already know if this is for you.

Running a coworking space in Euston, London - we did everything we knew how to do—but there was still more we could have done.

✅ A stronger website

✅ Better social media strategy

✅ Different types of events to attract the right members

💡 The lesson? Sometimes, the next move isn’t obvious—but it’s there.

Every coworking space wants to build a thriving community, but most make the same critical mistakes that keep them from doing so.

💡 Here are the 5 biggest mistakes—and how to avoid them:

✅ Talking about "community" before it even exists – Build the vibe first, then the community.

✅ Ignoring hospitality – It’s not about fancy coffee machines; it’s about making people feel seen and valued.

✅ Exclusion instead of inclusivity – Avoid cliques—strong coworking spaces welcome everyone.

✅ Crap communication – If people don’t know what’s going on, they won’t engage.

✅ Focusing on quantity over quality – Growth matters, but a strong community matters more.

🚨 Want to avoid these mistakes?
