#financefriday: Setting your rate
Monday, August 16th, 2010
Normally a superhero dons a cape and mask before saving someone. Today, Greg Fuhrman arrived at Cohere Coworking Community in relatively inconspicuous attire: a blazer. Greg is a “freelance Chief Financial Officer.” I’ve given him that title because he works p/t or interim for… Read More

How Cohere saved my sanity
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
I had deadlines, meetings and massive amounts of emails to return. I had marketing plans, budgets, and explosive growth to manage. It was the most fun I’d had in my entire life, even though I often felt like I was just trying to keep my head above water. Maintaining the balance between mom and professional blogger was challenging.
That’s where Cohere came in…

I don’t think I was born to be an entrepreneur. You know how you’ll meet those people, and they say to you within 5 minutes, “I was born to be an entrepreneur?”. I think they’re crazy. And maybe they are. I think… Read More

Wordcamp Boulder #wcboulder
Sunday, July 11th, 2010
All the members at Cohere understand that I struggle “to hang” technically with most of them. I even bookmarked a couple of glossaries and “Gale Acronyms” so I can quickly look up a term like DWAI (it means Don’t Worry About It, I thought it was short for Diwali) or pwned (means to own or “take” someone, I thought we were playing chess).
Suffice it to say, walking into to Wordcamp on Saturday, unarmed with any type of technical glossary (let alone a snarky t-shirt or quirky fashion accessory), caused a bit of anxiety in me. When we (@savysarah and I) went into the theater and the ENTIRE room was lit by the soft blue hue of at least 50 iPads and laptops, apples glowing, I quickly put away my non-touch, Verizon powered cell phone (that didn’t drop a single call all day) so we wouldn’t have a case of Body Snatcher schreeching.

1985 in Old Town Square
Monday, May 24th, 2010
The coworkers love a good theme party. Naturally, when we found out that the Downtown Business Association was throwing a “Party like it’s 1985″ event to celebrate 25 years since the Square was dedicated, we rifled through the backs of our closets for some good outfits.
A few things happened last Friday as a result of reincarnating the 80′s…………

New Education for New Workers
Sunday, May 9th, 2010
I don’t have a Computer Science degree. In fact, I don’t have any degree. I tried going to college. It didn’t work. Either I already knew it, or I wasn’t interested in learning it. Somehow, with that lack of education, I still… Read More

Duck, Duck, Choose
Thursday, May 6th, 2010
One of the most difficult challenges you’ll face as an entrepreneur or freelancer is choosing (people, projects, helpers, well wishers, friends and competition). These decisions go beyond day to day decisions like which coffee shop to land in (if you’re not already… Read More
