• They can turn their headphones on and work the way they want to.
• Different activities happening in a coworking spaces are not a compulsion toattend, so if they want to take part, they can enjoy that too.

These points do not imply, that coworking is a place for just introverts. Go back tothe first line, it is a spectrum of many introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts workingtogether.

When starting off, we might face expenditures in form of Opex and Capex. As some peoplemight be already aware of these terms while others may find them hard to digest. Both theterms are related to expenditures but they are far different from each other.

Opex is the slang for Operational Expenditure that includes expenditures in form of sales,administration, research and development, etc that goes on a regular basis. It includes thesalary of your employees as well whereas Capex, i.e. Capital expenditures includes all yourinitial and long time investments like infrastructure building, setting up the workplace and all onetime huge investments.

When you can find ‘Everything as a Service’ you might find it useful to use ‘as a services’ tominimize your expenditures. Be it SaaS or PaaS you can use shared cloud and pay for what
you use and when you use. No extra investments, no extra expenditures, no maintenance. Youcan use services or products maintained by other service provider and use as per your needs.

This might help new learners to move ahead with their passion without the pressure of how todeal with Opex and Capex.
