Working for yourself is awesome – you can wear what you like (which often means PJ’s), make your own hours, and take leisurely lunch breaks in the park. That said, being your own boss also comes with downfalls: it can be super lonely, if something goes wrong it’s all on you, and perhaps most importantly, it’s really hard to separate work and real life.
Our team works out of my tiny condo, and with the state of the Toronto housing market a bigger office space has always seemed super out of reach for us. We make it work, but with so many distractions around we often lose a lot of productivity, or simply get cabin fever from being cooped up (especially when it gets cold outside).
Luckily, Toronto just got an epic new shared workspace for women just like us: it’s called Make Lemonade.
Only a few blocks from my apartment, and above one of our favourite restaurants in the city (s/o to Kiin!), Make Lemonade is an office-space dream. Filled with natural light and adorable details, membership includes printing and unlimited tea and coffee (yes, that’s right, as much caffeine as you like!) With morning yoga and lots of fun members-only workshops on the way, think of Make Lemonade as a new kind of office, supercharged with creative energy and magic-making.
We’re kicking off our membership October 1st, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates about our experience! We can’t wait to dream, plan and create within a community of so many talented girl-bosses!
