Julia O’Connor Aloha International Moving Services, Inc. Member Services Associate George Cooper Lanee Johnson Australian Vanlines Layout/Design/Editor: Joyce Dexter HEADLINES Romance and Riches (and Richness) et me start off by saying I had never seen or heard the word “copreneurship” until Lreading the focus article in this issue of The Portal. I actually had to spell it out in my head before I grasped the connection. In the past we’ve profiled family-run companies and also written about generations of sons, daughters, siblings, and grandchildren working in the business. All those past articles highlight what I believe is one of the key attributes of our global community, namely that we’re dominated by family-owned movers. It’s perhaps one of the best reasons we all share empathy for our customers and what they may be going through during the upheaval and challenges of a relocation. However, this time we decided to turn the spotlight on couples who own and/or manage some of the IAM member companies. We received a good response, and I think you will thoroughly enjoy reading the couples’ profiles and finding out how they—as individuals and partners—manage to make it work, and how it has led to enriching their lives … indeed, even fostering the romantic side of their relationships. There’s no doubt in my mind that it takes a special person to work successfully and coexist with a spouse or domestic partner in day-to-day operations, throughout the TERRY R. HEAD ins and outs, ups and downs of running any business; but that holds especially true of IAM President managing a moving and storage company. Then again, since we are moving families, maybe it is the ideal business scenario in which couples can succeed in running a business together. In this environment there are numerous ways for couples to complement and leverage each other’s strengths. Alternately, it may be the perfect place for couples to recognize and compensate for a partner’s less-strong points. Who better than your spouse to watch your back? Who better to trust, share a commitment, and be able to communicate with, as well as have at your side while you jointly pursue professional objectives and personal dreams? At the same time, there are inevitably issues and pitfalls couples face when lead- ing a business together. Work-life balance has to be at the forefront and it’s something couples—with or without children—must deal with constantly. If you work with your wife, husband, or domestic partner, when you do get away from it? How do you avoid talking about work when you are at home? How do you not talk about home (and the children) when you’re at work? When you have a disagree- ment at work, how does that not follow you home—or vice-versa? How do you keep your personal relationship from affecting the way you interact with other employees or customers? Are you viewed as coworkers, bosses of equal power, or lovers in the workplace? It may seem perfectly natural to you, but it could get strange for those with whom you work, both inside and outside the company. I think after reviewing the articles you will quickly agree that, for virtually all the couples who submitted profiles, the fact that they work together has only enhanced and enriched the personal (or romantic) side of their relationships. Respect and admiration are key ingredients to any successful relationship, so what better place than work for those to be developed, seen, and shared? I love our industry; and I love learning more about the people who make up IAM’s ever-growing membership. This issue provides you with yet another opportunity to become better acquainted with some of the couples whose romance has contributed to achieving riches or, at minimum, richness in their lives by working together.
