Live/Work Executive Offices

So, I recently moved in to this great place where I can work and live. It's such a good way to save money on living expenses and still have a great place to both entertain guests and impress my business clients. And it's in a great location. West Queen West is a bustling trendy area in Toronto, so when I feel mentally blocked I can take a walk for fresh air and inspiration. Or, I just go up to my rooftop patio for relaxation. Being self employed is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. For years I was depressed because I didn't like my job. And for the longest time it was either feast or famine. Creative work stops being enjoyable when you have bosses that try and maximize profits by squeezing every bit of energy out of you. So by working alone I can go at my own pace and produce even better work. I was never content with the traditional office setting. I like to work odd hours. I like to hit the gym in the afternoon and avoid the peak hours when you can't even find the weight that you need because everyone seems to want the 40lb dumbbells. Sometimes I like to watch TV as I work, or chat on msn. If your self employed and there's a Live/Work executive office near you I recommend that you move in. I'm in this one: LWEO, It's great I have a receptionist, boardroom, rooftop patio and all the comforts of home.
