Craig and Warren are both recently retired executives. Craig’s wife, Marcy, owns and operates a website design firm.  Warren’s wife, Sharon, owns an exclusive gift shop.  Both businesses are successful, and each woman finds business ownership personally satisfying and rewarding.  Both women requested couples coaching for similar reasons.  Their husbands were interfering in their businesses.

Craig and Marcy were newlyweds.  It was a long distance romance, and they both were delighted when his retirement allowed them to be together.  His unspoken plan was to help her with her business so that she could work less, and they could spend more time together.  Her plan, also unspoken, was to continue to develop her business in order to sell it in a few years and fund her own retirement.

Warren and Sharon did talk to each other about their plans and goals.  Warren felt that his expertise could be put to good use in Sharon’s business.  He convinced her, against her “better judgment,” that expanding the business would create long term benefits for both of them.   Why Choosing Vending Machine Business?

The surety bond market is currently a very conservative market. Contract and commercial bond departments throughout the nation have tightened up their underwriting practices due to enormous loses throughout the industry. Many sureties have had to close their doors, other have had their ratings drop to a level where they can not write the same business they could in years past. Obviously this leaves the bonding companies that are still operating with a very conservative outlook when it comes to their underwriting guidelines.One thing that many do not understand is while the current surety bond market is tough, it is considered a more traditional underwriting approach. Contractors are being angered by decreases in their bond lines, or in worst cases are now being deemed "not bondable". Business owners seeking commercial bonding such as license bonds to run their business are not only finding it harder to obtain an approval, but are also seeing ; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt">

Corporations have many constituents. But they seem to play to only one audience – the investment community or Wall Street. Any business is made up of workers, supervisors, managers and executives. They also have customers, suppliers and in many cases dealers or distributors. They have facilities in cities, towns and communities. Some have factories and others have only offices. But the fact is that all corporations touch the world they operate in beyond the narrow confines of where they raise money through investors – or Wall Street. So why do almost all corporations decisions revolve around how Wall Street will react? Are there alternatives?What is the problem?Most corporations can track performance to a “gnat’s eyelash” but do not spend time understanding downturns. Is the problem the product? Is the problem competition and if so why? Is it the economy? Is it a problem with marketing? There can be many reasons for a down

 

Warren and Sharon did talk to each other about their plans and goals.  Warren felt that his expertise could be put to good use in Sharon’s business.  He convinced her, against her “better judgment,” that expanding the business would create long term benefits for both of them.  She decided to go along with his ideas.

 

They made plans together, expanded their capacity, hired several new employees, and Warren started pressuring everyone to be more productive.  Sharon began to hate going to work.  She had loved the personal contact with her customers,  but now she spent most of her time managing employees and trying to keep Warren calm.

 

Both women knew they were angry about their husbands’ interference, but neither could communicate about it effectively.  Each was trying to balance keeping the peace, supporting their husbands and taking care of themselves and their businesses.  Each time the women tried to discuss their own discomfort, their husbands would logically explain that they were only trying to help their wives.

 

During our sessions we uncovered the hidden assumptions and discussed them.  When each man discovered the cause of their respective spouse’s feelings they was astonished to learn about the negative effects of genuinely trying to help their wives.

 

Neither of the men had thought much about how they were going to find a meaningful way to fill their time after retirement, and simply picked up what was convenient—their wife’s business.  As the women learned to protect their own boundaries, a new conversation emerged.  Each man needed to explore their own options for finding their own fulfilling activities.
