A Business To Take You Places
In this exciting modern age of lightning fast global communication there is no longer any reason why you can't choose to build a business that can be setup and operated from anywhere in the world.
Imagine being in a position to do the work you love, from wherever you choose....
What would it feel like to be completely self-sufficient, knowing that whatever country you call home you are in control?
Is your quality of life more important than climbing somebody else's career ladder?
If you've ever yearned for new adventures in exciting locations but have been held back by a need to have a steady income and a career that can grow with you then you have the makings of an Expat Entrepreneur.
Jo Parfitt is the real deal, she is an expert because she has lived it all herself. If you are an expat thinking about starting your own business then Expat Entrepreneur is a must read!
The first part of the book outlines the criteria for becoming a successful Expat Entrepreneur. The second section profiles over 20 real life examples of all kinds of Expat Entrepreneurs. And finally, the last part of the book is filled with country specific resources from 35 countries.
Get ready to be inspired and discover how to turn your passion into a profitable (and portable) business.

The Two Main Types of Expat Entrepreneur
1. The Trailing Spouse
If your partner has been offered an exciting post with their company in a far-away land then you may have no choice but to go with them. However, as your partner is often already employed there is no such security or interest for you. In the case of many Expat Entrepreneurs this need to have an identity and role beyond just a trailing husband or wife led to the decision to setup a portable business.
2. The Self-Sufficient Adventurer
Perhaps you want to live somewhere new and exciting (or simply better) than your home country. For many people they wait until retirement before they fulfil a lifetime dream to live somewhere warmer, more pleasant or more laid back. Waiting until you retire probably just isn't quick enough for you and so you'd like to have a reliable income but no boss and no more daily commute.
If you are the spouse of an expatriate employee, wanting to maintain your professional identity despite frequent upheaval, or, if you have moved to a foreign land and are thinking of working for yourself, this book is for you. By the time you reach your destination, you will be armed with the tools necessary to choose a business idea that works for you, adopting the right mindset and skills to aid success.
