One of the biggest challenge for expat partners who move regularly from a country to another is managing to build a sustainable career and building financial independence. Finding a job or a small business that we can manage remotely and from home can be a great solution to continue working while moving from a country to another.
In the past 5 years, I have been myself working from home and managing my business in marketing and branding. I would prepare all the work from home and go out to meet my clients in their office or to meet new prospects in networking events. I found that this solution brings a lot of flexibly as we are in charge of our agendas and can switch from work to home management and private life in few minutes. However, it is also a solution that can be overwhelming or not stimulating enough to reach our professional goals.
