]]> Well it’s half term here in the UK and of course it’s raining! Such a shame after the wonderfully warm weather we’ve recently had. This week is all about juggling. I have a full work schedule, am out two nights this week, holiday club for Jonah, friend meet ups for the older two and a sleep over for Anna Grace. We’re also meeting up with friends and family, seeing a musical theatre show and having some much needed relaxing family time. A busy week! Nick is off work and is on full time child care while I whiz through my design jobs. I am planning to take Friday off if I get through everything by then. Fingers crossed.

For those of you who are taking the week off or are on an actual holiday (you lucky people!), please take a few minutes to read something that may be of interest to you. As you know, I’ve co-written a book with Heidi Walker called Inspiring Global Entrepreneurs and we’ve recently put together a monthly newsletter for all our followers and expats who are in business all over the world. It’s a business newsletter and an expat newsletter combined so hopefully there is something for everyone. We’ve just sent out our second newsletter and in this edition we’ve included:

  • A free chapter from Inspiring Global Entrepreneurs
  • A free coaching video on the importance of being adaptable, by Heidi Walker
  • A top tip from one of the expats featured in our book
  • Expat entrepreneur of the month
  • Discovery of the month
  • Business and expat blogs to follow
  • Latest news from around the world and from us
  • And story of the month

This month’s story is about a new book that I’m currently reading called Chasing Athens by Marissa Tejada. Marissa is an award winning journalist from the USA and lives and works in Athens. I am thoroughly enjoying this book and love all the themes; living and experiencing life in a foreign country, friendships, love, challenges and the excitement of opening yourself up to new adventures. I’m about a third of the way through it. If you are living or have lived abroad and experienced a foreign culture first hand, then you will love this book. We’ve done a proper write up about it in our newsletter. Please sign up to get our newsletter straight to your inbox. I also want to point out that Heidi and I want to share your news and announcements so please send in anything you’d like us to promote in our newsletter to hello@expatsinbiz.com. Happy reading and I hope it inspires you this week whether you’re juggling kids and work like I am or on holiday somewhere hot.
