Whether you are a seasoned entrepreneur with global clients and partnership, an experimental start-up, or a solo freelancer, there are benefits to shifting at least some of your work into a coworking space. A Harvard Business Review study reports that people belonging to coworking spaces feel more energized, engaged in their work, and dedicated to its sustainability than employees in traditional office environments.

In the U.S., people work an average of 45 hours per week and consider 16 of those hours to be unproductive. Businesses and industries have distinct goals and derive from and build off of different resources (donations, profits, contracts, staff size, infrastructure, etc.). However, there is one resource common to and equal among all industries, projects, managers, and employees: time.

Whether an established leader or an aspiring entrepreneur, you have led something at some point in your life and can and will lead again. You may have led a friend who needed advice, facilitated a carpool for your neighborhood, arranged a retirement party for a relative, or facilitated a community volunteer event.

Verizon analyzed data on over 300 small cities in the U.S., and Alpharetta came in at 15, the only city in Georgia to make the list. Measures included income per capita, percentage of college-educated population over age 25, average total time driving to work, broadband access of at least 10 Mbps download time and 1 Mbps upload time, loans per capita, and tax scores. All these factors help set the stage to build a startup and draw in customers and partners.

Work environments have a substantial impact on mental health, just as mental wellness impacts productivity and teamwork. The Workplace Health Survey found that 80% of U.S. employees attribute workplace stress to affecting relationships and 35% miss 3 to 5 days of work per month due to stress.

‘Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning and focused effort.’– Paul Meyer

NorthPoint Executive Suites helps small businesses and start-ups work more efficiently by cutting costs and saving business owners’ time. The most prudent business owner could go to painstaking lengths to estimate absolute supply needs and go from supplier to supplier to investigate all options and compare prices and still spend thousands in excess on office space and equipment.

Small business owners appreciate multitasking, and their success relies on it. But a slow internet connection or low bandwidth can stop even the most versatile and efficient worker in his or her tracks.

Entrepreneurs and founders of new businesses appreciate the time and investments it takes to start making a profit. Executive office suites give startups the flexibility they need to go through some trial and error and find their footholds without the costs of furnishing an office and getting locked into a long term lease. This allows business owners to experiment with locations or find offices to meet that are more convenient for clients. When it’s time to expand, entrepreneurs can adjust to spend more time in an office environment with clients, you can adjust your time on the lease and expand to a neighboring suite in the building.

NorthPoint Executive Suites offers office space, virtual office space, meeting rooms, and cowork space to fit the changing needs and stages of your business. The flexibility and amenities offered by executive office suites give businesses a way to save on overhead costs without sacrificing collaboration. High-speed internet, well-functioning office technology, onsite IT support, and reception services can save a business owner a substantial amount of time and allow their focus to stay on their business.

And executive office suites are not just for “adolescents”, businesses of all sizes are reassessing how people work in an increasingly mobile business environment to save money and promote productivity. In 2017 Global Workforce Analytics report found that 80-90% of US workers would like to work from home part time leaving some time dedicated to concentrated work and in-office time for collaboration. And estimates show that the typical business could save $11,000 per employee per year if employees worked from home 50% of time. This cost can be staggering if you are just starting out in your business.
