Why I Bought An Office Building
Summary
- I believe in taking big risks; for instance, I decided to purchase a building rather than renting office space.
- I'm confident in making major moves, like heavily investing in training and workshops because I see it as an investment in my future self.
- I've contemplated moving my business from remote to a physical location, despite some concerns about the transition and how employees might prefer to stay remote.
- Life is short, and I want to spend it surrounded by amazing people and doing epic things in an inspiring environment.
- Business decisions can often be about personal preference; if I want to run my business a certain way, I should feel empowered to do so because it's mine.
- Having a business with a physical presence is something I've always wanted, and it's exciting to see that vision come to life.

How To Take Action
A good way of doing things when you're a small business or working on growing yourself is to not be afraid to take risks. If you have an idea that feels big, like buying a building instead of renting, and it's something you really want, then go for it! Think of it as betting on your future self.
Also, investing in your growth is super important. You might think about spending money on training and workshops. This isn't just spending, it's investing in making you better at what you do. And when you get better, your business or personal growth does too.
If you've been working online and think about moving to a place where everyone comes to work together, sure, it might worry you what others will think. But remember, life is super short. It's okay to make your business fit the dream in your head. Want to be around awesome people in a cool place? Aim for that. Your business, your rules.
Here are simple steps you can take:
- List out what big dreams you have for your space and your people.
- Look into what it would cost to buy a place compared to renting. Do the math.
- Think about training that could help you or your team get better at what you do. Then find ones that work with your budget.
- Talk to your team about the idea of a physical space. See what they think.
- Always check in with yourself: is this what you want? If yes, remember it's your choice to make it happen.
You make your business or personal growth happen by choosing what you want and taking steps towards it, big or small.
