We are hosting our first coworking Jelly! tomorrow at the local
library. We have 14 people so far signed up to come. We will be
introducing coworking through a semi-structured open discussion. Is
that an oxymoron? LOL! The topic is You, Inc. - The Business of You!
Wish us luck!

I think that's a great idea Toni.
Does the library have a separate area for you to meet?
Have fun with it, if I was in your city I'd join you for that CoWorking
Jelly.
Good luck,
Santiago

Yes, the library has a meeting room that accommodates up to 60 people.
They also have audio-visual equipment available at no cost.

May I ask how you were able to get such a great turnout for the first Jelly? Congrats!

Ann, we should probably wait until tomorrow to ask/answer that
question. LOL! You know people sign up but some don't show. I compiled
a list of new real estate agents and sent an invitation through
eventbright. While I am developing a training program for new real
estate agents, it is my hope that we can grow this Jelly! beyond real
estate by encouraging attendees to invite people who are not agents.
The list also includes people who have let their licenses expire or
haven't yet activated. They are likely entrepreneurial and have other
business interests as well.
I will post an update about actual attendance tomorrow.

We had a whopping one person show up for our first Jelly but the
conversation was awesome. Even after yesterday's meeting we still had
people signing up. I think there may have been some confusion as to
how the meetings were scheduled. We set them up as recurring meetings
but I think people may have thought they should choose one date,
because we have people signed up for next week and the week after. No
one signed up for all three weeks. I sent an email yesterday to
clarify. Hopefully, more people will show next week.
The person that showed up is a business broker and management
consultant. He was mainly looking for networking opportunities. After
looking at our website he told us what we are doing (coworking) won't
work. Ha! After we told him why it WILL work, he was sold. :-)

Hi Toni
Our first Jelly at Fruitworks had 3 people. 2 of which were friends
who came down to support us (and provide social proof) and one was a
new person, who subsequently signed up as a £75 monthly member! So
they do work.
Our Jelly yesterday (2nd one) had 5 new people show up. 4 just signed
up today and the 5th is signing up when he comes back from holiday!
I'm so impressed with how open days work that I'm tempted to have one
every 2 weeks instead of every month.
Thanks,
Liam Gooding

Liam, we aren't opened yet but I will start providing the concept
overview which explains what coworking is and how our space will be
set up. I expect a few more people next week, so we'll see. There are
a total of 17 signed up. I will send the invite again today and
Sunday. Your experience is very encouraging. :-)

So, today we had our second Jelly in two weeks. Only two other people
showed up, a couple, but the conversation was just as invigorating as
last week's. The couple own a store that has additional space for a
yoga room that they thought of using as a networking/meetup
room...coworking, but they just don't know it. Anyway, they offered to
let us use it at no charge. They are a real estate agent and broker.
Since I will be training new agents and he is going to be hiring
agents that could be another win-win situation. We are going to stop
by their store later this week. Now, if we can get everyone to come to
the Jelly on the SAME day that would be awesome. :-)
