A Room of My Own
By Penny | April 1, 2008
For some time now I have been running classes, facilitiating workshops and seeing clients for individual sessions. I also still work in a day job.
It is my dream to have my own workshop space where I can teach and work from. I have been renting space from centres and the like, but it’s not the same as being in my own space.
I am thinking that I could rent it out on the days that I don’t use it, which would give someone the use of the space M-F. I wuold use it on weekends and some evenings.
This is what I want to manifest:
- Light-filled, airy space large enough for up to 15 people
- 2 private reading rooms
- Storage for chairs, tables, supplies etc
- Pristine kitchen and bathroom facilities (shared or own)
- Easy for parking
- Close to public transport
- Easily affordable.
My plan is to sub-let it to others for a day or half day to people such as:
- Massage therapist
- Counsellor
- Readers
- Natural therapy practitioner
- Yoga teacher
Anyone nice, really. Just say the space was $250 a week plus outoings, I could rent it for $50 a day. A lot of rents are very steep. I pay $90 for a half day now. So 5 days at $50 a day is very reasonable and I would still have evenings and weekends to do my own thing. Plus I’d run it properly as a business so it wouldn’t cost me that much to run. I could also have someone else there doing readings.
Wow, put like that, it really does seem like I have a feasible business.
