Reflective Questions

Honest self-reflection is not only part of owning and operating a business — it’s what helps us be the best humans we can be. Consider the following questions and really sit with them — consider where you’re at with your practice, where you want to be, and if Collective Good would be a supportive environment for you.

  • Are you currently managing yourself as an independent business or are you actively seeking to do so?

  • Are you able to hold yourself accountable for all aspects of managing and operating a business?

  • How familiar are you with the numbers of your business (i.e., how many clients do you need to pay rent, to make a profit, etc.)?

  • How would working in a shared workspace fit into your long-term goals?

  • Do you work better alone or in a community environment?

  • How do you handle when other people think or behave differently from yourself? How do you find value in differences between other professionals, clients, and yourself?

  • Are you comfortable with working in a furnished, shared workspace?

  • What does “professional” mean to you?

  • What habits do you prioritize in your work life?

  • How do you approach and overcome challenges or conflict?

  • Are you a community-oriented person whose actions and decisions are in the best interest for not only yourself but those around you?

  • Are you invested in continually developing professional and interpersonal strengths?

  • What motivates you to grow your business?
