Shared non-monetary motivators
I saw @alexknowshtml twitter this earlier today and just wanted to recapture it because it seemed to good to just fly by on twitter.
Those 5 bullets are the primary non-monetary motivators shared by Gen-Y AND Boomers. That’s right. Both.
- Odyssey
- Altruism/purpose
- Work/life integration, flexibility
- Recognition
- Collaborative workspace design
Making good progress on coworking
We’ve been pushing pretty hard with the new coworking spot in downtown Grand Rapids (The Factory). We have a lease in hand that just needs to be signed, some awesome furniture that’s about to be ordered and a planed opening day target of November 2nd.
We’re going to start out in 1,800sq/ft of space that should seat 25 people rather comfortably in a mix of regular desk seating, high top tables and sofas, chairs and other “soft” seating.
I’m really amazed at how quickly things have started to come together, now it’s just getting everything in and organized and getting the word out.
Check out workthefactory.com for more info on coworking, and we’ll be launching a new site soon and stay tuned to twitter.com/coFactory

U.P., Michigan
I haven’t been there probably in 5 years, but there is just “something” about the upper peninsula. It’s such a beautiful, serene place.
