In this increasingly global world of ours many thousands of people move overseas for work or pleasure. You might be one of them. If so, read on.

Employees of multinational companies are posted to a range of countries for anything from a few months to several years. A mobile family might now experience more than ten countries during an international career. If you are the spouse of an expatriate employee, and want to maintain your professional identity in the face of these frequent moves, then this book is for you.

Every year thousands of families uproot themselves to move overseas for a ‘better life’. Unless they can uproot their career too, or make a long commute or telework, these people need to find work in their adopted country. Sometime one or both partners hope to work. Yet without qualifications understood locally and without knowing the local language, finding paid work can be difficult or take a long time. As a result, many choose to work for themselves. If you are wondering how to earn the bread and butter in your new life, and would welcome some inspiration, then this book is for you too.

Indeed, you may not expect to work abroad, but would still like to explore some of the options open to entrepreneurs. This book is still relevant.

In short this book is for anyone who is considering working for themselves, wherever they may be, wherever they may go and whatever they may hope to become.
