With today’s economic situation, more and more small entrepreneurs are opting for shared office environment or serviced offices instead of the traditional conventional office lease.

First of all, by choosing a shared environment, you are likely to reduce your overheads. But the benefits are not just monetary.

Networking is another advantage: by sharing your office space with similar or complementary businesses, you could attract customers that would never have heard of you otherwise.

For example, a freelance web design company would definitely profit from sharing a space with a PR or a communication firm.

The ability to get into a prestigious building without the constraints of lease agreements is another benefit. Keep in mind that when searching for a shared or serviced office, location is crucial!

Let’s say that a downtown location is where your business needs to be, then increase your allocated budget and find a shared office downtown. You will impress your clients and have a great image.

On the other hand, if location does not matter to your company, getting an office in less prestigious area is the correct decision and saves you even more money.

By exploring these options (shared or serviced offices), you will more than likely be able to find offices that include amenities or extra facilities such as a kitchenette, boardroom or meeting rooms, shared receptionist, storage or furnished spaces.

By taking advantage of the recommendations above, you will get a great location that fits your business model, meet your daily requirements and will be dramatically cheaper than conventional space.

Finally, since we are all running out time, why not let somebody else worry about this tiring search?

After a gunman in Dallas had shot down five officers, he started mocking the police singing songs to them and saying that more violence is about to come. The shooter was identified as Micah Xavier Jonson, a former Marine who was, according to his parents, never the same once he returned from the army. What was intriguing to the police was that he left a cryptic message “R.B”. The police have no idea what these two letters stand for, but judging by shooter’s bomb threats, they suspect that bigger targets were planned.

Shooter’s Motives.

Micah Johnson served in marine corps until last year, when he was discharged due to accusations of creating a hazardous environment by a fellow Marine. She claimed that Johnson attributed to creating a work hazardous environment during his acting days. After he had returned to the U.S. he became introvert, and a secluded person. The police research shows that his web searches indicate he had an interest in Afro-American movements. The police report also suggests that he had intentions of bombing bigger targets, the supplies needed for bomb-making found in his house as well as web search history proves it. His actual motives are uncertain.

Family shocked.

Final shootout.

Although the reason for Micah’s discharge from the army was a contribution of creating a hazardous environment by not following the protocols, there are some theories that the remark was made on racial grounds. This may have triggered and series of events that lead to the final shootout with the police. If he had any thoughts that he was released from the Marine corps due to his color it definitely changed him in a way.
