The Mom and Pop store and the SOHO (small office/home office) are thriving as more couples than ever before are finding ways to work together. Couple-owned businesses have their share of rewards–and challenges–as my wife Gail Terry Grimes and I (Claude Whitmyer) well know.
To help others meet the challenges and make the most of the rewards, Gail and I have adapted the “Future Search” methodology of community building (developed by Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff, co-authors of Future Search: Getting the Whole System in the Room for Vision, Commitment, and Action) as a planning and progress tool for couples in business.
