What do you need to start and grow a portable business as an expat partner?
This week is entrepreneurship week! At this occasion you will find in this episode great inspiration, insights and tips to start and grow your own portable business as an expat partner.
For those of you who know me well, you know that entrepreneurship is for me not just a sense of business and a way to make money, but a real passion and mindset that I believe every expat partner could benefit from.
In fact, even if there are some jobs that can be portable for expat partners, these jobs are usually very limited. I really believe that one of the main solutions for expat partners is to start their own small portable business. That is why I try to bring you as many examples, inspiration and practical tips to help you take that leap and build your own successful portable business.
You will be able to hear some extracts from four expat partners who are also great entrepreneurs! Their extracts summarize some of the great insights and advice that were shared on many of Tandem Nomads past podcast episodes.
Andrea Martins is a serial entrepreneur who founded three companies. She started when she joined her husband abroad, quit her successful job and launched the famous website Expatwomen.com that got so much success that she managed to sell it for a substantial six digits number.
