A huge part of being self-employed is having the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world. From the library to the coffee shop, the sofa to the beach. So, you don’t exactly need an office. As long as you have a space that works for you, that can help you with motivation and self-discipline. If you don’t want to work from home because you want to be around other professionals, you can consider a shared workspace. These types of spaces allow you to talk to other like-minded individuals, get ideas, ask for advice, etc. Being self-employed, especially when working from home, can be isolating, so this is a good way to make connections and talk to people on your day-to-day.
