1 in 3 Brits Want To Escape To The Sun When They Retire
Author of New Book Asks, "Why Wait Until You're Old?"
======================================================

According to a recent pensions industry study nearly a third
of Britons want to move abroad when they stop working.

These findings add to growing evidence that the number of
Britons leaving the UK for warmer, more exciting and less
heavily-taxed countries is greater than at any other time.

But why wait until you're old?

While tens of thousands of Britons do move overseas before
they retire, the challenge is in being able to build a
business or career you can take with you wherever you decide
to go.

For the last 3 decades, Jo Parfitt has lived and worked in
a variety of places including Dubai, Norway and the Netherlands.
She shares her tips, along with true stories of others who have
taken their careers with them in her new book, "Expat
Entrepreneur: How To Create and Maintain A Portable Career
Anywhere In The World"

Jo says, "Living and working abroad is both exciting and
scary. Experiencing a new and interesting world is
wonderful, but without a dependable source of income, a lack
of security can soon spoil your fun. So it's important to
build a career that you pack along with your belongings."

The choice is yours. Either wait until you have enough money
to enjoy your retirement in your favourite part of the world
or build a portable career and live your dream now.

"Expat Entrepreneur: How To Create and Maintain A Portable
Career Anywhere In The World" by Jo Parfitt is available at
Amazon, Borders, Waterstones and all good bookshops.
