There is more than one way to work in a team setting these days. At an office, at home, remote, or a combination of the three. Today’s guest discusses the different ways you can create a team that incorporates flexibility and yet is still responsive to the daily needs of a business.   Frank Cottle is the Chairman and Founder of Alliance Virtual Offices and Alliance Business Centers Network. He is a recognized expert within the business center, executive suite, and virtual office industries and often speaks on topics related to all forms of alternative officing.   Frank and his partners built buildings with the purpose to house and host executive suite centers for professionals who needed a quiet and private space to work. These are quite different compared to the more open space, coffee-shop-esque feel of a co-working facility.   Frank explains the difference between service offices, coworking spaces, and incubators. Technically, these working spaces combine people, place, and technology into a single bundled product that’s delivered with a highly flexible service agreement. However, each of these spaces offers a different type of brand promise.   Virtual office spaces help the small businessman and startup founder create effective growth by lowering their monthly business expenses on rent, utilities, staff, and office equipment.   However, they don’t just house small business professionals. The two biggest groups who use Frank’s service offices are actually the government and the global Fortune 1000. Large companies are changing their business models radically.   If you looked at an annual report five years ago from a large company in the bay area, they would have had roughly 300,000 ‘employees’ in the report. Today, that number is listed as ‘workforce’ with about 20-25% being listed as contractors. This shift is drastic when you think about how much money companies are saving in leasehold debt.   Interview Links: Alliancevirtualoffices.com Abcn.com Frank on LinkedIn   Resources: Scaling Up for Business Growth Workshops: Take the first step to mastering the Rockefeller Habits by attending one of our workshops.

Frank started his work life as a commercial diver in Newport Beach, and moved onto the yachting industry. Eventually, he made his way into a brokerage and came to the realization that he will ‘never be an owner as long as he’s a broker’. He decided to go his own way, and opened his own real estate management business focused on changing the way people worked. The big shift in manufacturing was just in time inventory, Frank felt that the same principle should be applied to real estate and that’s how the concept of serviced offices came about. The idea of a 10 year lease doesn’t apply to business today. How did you see the way the future of work would be? Shared work and shared economies have existed throughout history and were the model Frank based his business on. Technology has changed the way work is done in the world today, but even in the 1980’s there were signs that work was moving in that direction. Frank’s offices were actually the test labs for many of the technologies that paved the way for the gig economy. Every entrepreneur is going to make mistakes, you just have to survive them. The will to do something is as important as having the idea to do something. The road of the entrepreneur is not always going to be smooth. Stop worrying about what others think, and play your own game. How do you deal with regulatory issues? Every entrepreneur has to deal with regulation in some way. You have to know your own business and adapt appropriately. Be the best student in your industry and you will be eventually be able to work instinctively. How did you build Alliance to its current model? Better lucky than smart. Frank has changed the Alliance business model since its inception after learning from the dot com boom and the rise of technology. Frank looked to the travel industry as a model for offices. Almost every company today is international. Being able to operate a business globally by providing virtual office services is the target that Frank was trying to hit. If you don’t innovate, you die. What services does Alliance provide? Government is a large client of the serviced offices industry as well as large corporations. The structure of employment has changed, there are fewer employees and more contractors than ever before. A serviced office is a more efficient use of resources than the old model for companies big and small. Reference: Frank’s Takeaway Play the part. If you have an idea that you believe in, there is no reason why you shouldn’t act on it. If you want to win, you have to buy the ticket.   Links: http://allianc

In this episode, Tony interviews Frank Cottle of the Alliance Business Centers Network and the new GCUC ALL. Are coworking and the traditional workspace worlds separate and distinct from one another, or are they part of the same world? Either way, what can they learn from each other, and what challenges do they have in the future? Can managers afford to settle for simply renting space, or do they need to be going for something more?
