We are Claude Whitmyer and Gail Terry Grimes long-time career guides and business advisors. With the economy what it is, more and more people are coming to us with questions about how to start, expand or sell their own business or how to find a job they can love. In the past 30 years we've worked with hundreds of small businesses and at least 500 seekers of meaningful work—everyone from architects to organic farmers to videographers. Though the contents of this site have been online in various forms since 1992, we decided to bring them all together now in response to the increasing demand for help from people trying to find meaningful work, whether through employment or entrepreneurship in the midst of the economic crisis we are facing localling, nationally and globally. We encourage you to give us feedback about what you find helpful and what you'd like to see added here.
     Please browse through the site and let us know what you think. Visit the resource pages and the blog. From time to time we'll also have quick polls about various topics. And we have also opened a social networking site for you to use for networking and resource exchange. If you want to communicate with either or both of us visit our the the "Contact" page to pick the method that will work best for you..
