Just starting out

[Marlo Laney]

Hello everyone,

I am just starting out. I'm opening a coworking space for women in North Tampa. I have been doing a lot of reading and was told I should join this group. I'm at the stage where I have my pricing, website, intragram, twitter, I've even found a space I like. Well, now I need some members :o) I have been told I need to start the community before I sign the lease. I don't want to build it and hope they come. Do you have any advice for me as to how to start building the community.

Thanks :o)
