I said coworking was just paying rent to share wifi, then a Tuesday lunch in Charlotte proved me wrong
I ran my shop solo for 12 years and used to mock the idea of paying $250 a month to sit near strangers. But my welder buddy dragged me to a coworking spot near NoDa in Charlotte last month and the owner, Dana, runs a Tuesday potluck where people trade work leads. I got two referrals off a plumber who overheard me complaining about a busted lift, and I signed up the next day. Anyone else get real jobs from a shared kitchen table, or am I just lucky?

Two referrals from one lunch sounds less like a system and more like a good day. A plumber overhearing you complain about a busted lift is just being in the right room at the right time. If that potluck had five quiet Tuesdays in a row, would you still be paying that $250? One lucky lunch does not mean shared tables beat working alone.
