I know exactly what I want to do with the coworking space, I know what my goals are and how I want it to look and run but I am intimidated by all of the numbers. How in the world am I going to know my projected costs and break down and break even points over the next 3 years and so on and so on. On top of all of this, once I am able to gather all of this information what do I do with it? How do I get financing? How do I support my family until my space starts turning a profit?
