The EcomCrew Ecommerce Podcast · August 17, 2017 · 32 min

Summary

Dave joins me today for a debate. Is it better to have an office space for your company or not? We have slightly different views on this subject. I personally like the professionalism of an office space and warehouse. Dave likes the freedom of working remotely and outsourcing. We compare our reasons for why we have our preferences and give our listeners some pros and cons of both business styles. There is nothing wrong with either business approach. We simply want to explore our personal work styles, so that maybe you can decide which one best fits your situation. Here are some points from our conversation: Dave's upcoming move to Asia. Why Dave has decided to work from home. Why I prefer having my staff in an office setting. Dave's office space blunder. Why a company should avoid overhead whenever possible. The benefits of renting a co-working space. How Treadmill.com pushed me into finding warehouse space. The problems of running a brick and mortar location. Should you hire an employee first, or rent an office first? How modern business culture has changed. <span st
