This work was created as a starting point for the many people who are considering a change: an expat situation, a departure from the 9-to-5, those who just need additional income in today’s world.

This book is not a standalone guide or, for that matter, a finished work. The very subject matter is a work in progress for every one of us. Brainstorm, articulate a resume whether you need one or not. The resume is a tool in the process. Continue to assess your assets and how to apply them. A life of experiences is a rich asset. Take inventory.

I hope the first several chapters allow you to focus and fertilize, to motivate your thought process. The later chapters are the nuts-and-bolts explanations of possible jobs. But, as you think outside the box, the list is endless. Apply these thoughts to whatever comes your way. For some, an idea may fall in your lap. For most, this will be a project to stir the pot. Expect the outcome and it will happen. This is what it is; I did not say to expect a miracle. Believe in them.

Some of you may want to read The Four Agreements or similar introductory works as ammunition before you begin this journey…
