No two entrepreneurs are alike. Sure, other articles may suggest that all successful entrepreneurs do the same 12 things before breakfast, but we know better.

Some entrepreneurs wake up before dawn, while others burn the midnight oil. Still, many others burn the candle from both ends.

Some are precise and methodical in their pursuit of business success, while others approach their ventures like a mad scientist in a lab, throwing various innovative elements together to see what works.

One of the best indications of just how unique entrepreneurs are is their workspace. That’s why I reached out to entrepreneurs from around the U.S., asking them to share a photo of their workspace and explain why it’s uniquely suited to them.

Below are photos from 11 different entrepreneurs. Perhaps you will find some inspiration to make your own workspace more customized to your needs. Enjoy!

“What we love about the current set up is that it encourages us to communicate, unlike being in cubicles or our own offices. Also no desks are permanent.

Amy Baxter, M.D., Buzzy Drug Free Pain Relief
