Flexibility, Freedom, and a Portable Six-Figure Paycheck…
International Living's First Annual
In the 19th century, Portugal's royal family vacationed in Cascais, a beachside village overlooking the Atlantic. Today, the yachts docked at the marina show it hasn't lost its upper-crust appeal. Out in the water, sailboats and windsurfers skim along the waves while old world fishing boats bob. It's here that Pat Westheimer settled in 1991 to enjoy the weather, the pace, and the good-value living. And to fund her lifestyle, she set up a business called “College Bound,” prepping students in the SATs and helping them with college applications, essays, and interview techniques. You know, as Pat's story illustrates, you needn't run with the jet-set to enjoy an exotic life overseas. In destinations from Europe to Asia to the Americas, you can live a life filled with comforts, pampering, travel, and adventure -- for a fraction of what it costs you to live at home today. But -- it must be said -- you can't live for free. You'll need to fund your international life somehow -- and no ordinary 9-to-5 will do. You need a career you can pursue from anywhere in the world. One that will afford you the flexibility and income required to settle overseas, even if only for part of the year. Let's face it: What you need is the sort of thing you could do on your beachfront deck from 9 a.m. to noon… while the water sloshes up onto the sand and the palm trees sway… something that would let you spend your afternoons relaxing, reading, snorkeling, swimming… The good news is: Such careers DO exist…
I'm talking about proven, income-earning businesses that can fund exactly the international lifestyle you dream about. These are business that…
No Matter Where Your Interests and Expertise Lie, We'll Help You Transform Them into Income-Earning Endeavors
Just imagine if your work didn't entail a commute or a boss or even a desk… Imagine if you could turn your passion for travel into a paycheck… or take your interest in pottery and turn it into cash… or foster your knack for finding just the right gift and use it to generate income… Imagine if you could spend a few hours a day at your computer, capitalizing on expertise you already have… and from it fund the sort of pampered lifestyle you'd never be able to afford back home… Imagine if you could make that dream you've always had of a little boutique shop or a family pizza joint come to life… in a new home overseas where your profits could be tax-free for an entire decade… Bottom line: You can. In fact, these days -- with the world more interconnected than ever -- the possibilities for a portable paycheck are almost never-ending. You don't need an MBA or thousands upon thousands of start-up cash to create a business for yourself that can easily fund your life overseas. What you do need, however, is on-the-ground know-how. You need some real-world insights, advice, techniques, and tips from people already successfully living (and funding) their dream lifestyles. And that's precisely what our accomplished panel of experts is gathering to give you this November 12-14, 2007 in Denver, CO. I do hope you'll be there with us for our first-ever Global Business Opportunities Workshop
We Won't Just Introduce You to Portable Career Options, We'll also Help You Learn How to think Like an Entrepreneur…
We've gathered a truly savvy group of entrepreneurial folks -- people who can answer your questions about what they do to fund their own international lifestyles and help you figure out if their specialties would make sense for you. Simply having these experts -- writers, investors, developers, small business owners, importer-exporters, marketers -- in one place at one time will shave months, maybe even years, off your learning curve. They'll ensure you're pointed squarely in the direction that works best with the vision you have for your overseas life. But here's the thing… what if that vision is still a little blurry? What if you really don't know what you want to do with yourself…? You know you're ready to escape, ready for a change. You long for the day when you can have more control over your time… call your own shots… live life your way… It's just that the prospect of getting there has you sort of paralyzed. Let me reassure you: This November, we can help. You see, two things will make the fears and qualms you have (which are perfectly normal, by the way) disappear: 1.) Information and 2.) Perspective. At our Global Business Opportunities Workshop, you'll gain both. That's because among our panel of experts are two of the brightest and most innovative career-change and self-employment gurus around: Valerie Young, who's at the helm of ChangingCourse.com and Barbara Winter, author of Making a Living Without a Job. They'll teach you --
In other words, this Global Business Opportunities Workshop won't simply introduce you to portable career possibilities… …it will also show you how to sharpen the picture you have in your mind of what you want your life overseas to look like… and then give you the tools you need to make the leap from where you are today to where you want to be.
Over the course of three power-packed days, we'll open your eyes to possibilities you've probably never considered -- maybe didn't even know existed -- and introduce you to (at least) seven money-making businesses you can use to fund your dream lifestyle in any destination you choose, anywhere in the world. For example, you'll learn about… Copywriting… How would you like to retire this year… and still make more money than most doctors? You can do it -- from anywhere in the world -- once you know the proven tricks to writing letters like this one you're reading… the simple "direct mail" letters companies send out by the millions. The secrets aren't hard to learn. And to be a great copywriter, you don't need any formal "literary" training or anything like that. In this business, the number one rule is: be yourself. Don't use big words, flowery sentences, or fancy prose. The most successful sales letters are written in a very conversational tone -- almost like you're talking to a friend. Master this lucrative skill, and you could easily earn $100,000 a year or more from anywhere on the planet your whim takes you… with the Internet for research and email for dealing with clients, you'll have a fully portable career. This November, learn the most important tricks of this trade… and find out how you can quickly and easily test the waters to find out if this work would suit you or not… Photography… Even if all you've ever done before is snap family shots, you can make $200 - $2,000 a week taking photographs in your own backyard… on your family vacations… or anywhere in the world you care to travel. Just take a look around you -- at magazines, newspapers, books, trade journals, technical manuals, and almost any published material. Look at the cover and flip through the pages. What do you see? Photographs. Someone has to take those pictures. Why not you? It’s easier to break into this field than you may think. And all you need to start making money is a digital point-and-shoot camera and a handful of tricks for taking the sorts of photos that sell best. This November, find out what those secrets are -- plus learn about three more ways you can turn your pictures into cash by creating multiple photo income streams, something you can easily do from anywhere. Travel writing… If you have a passion for travel and enjoy meeting new people, you can get paid to explore the world. As a travel writer, you get to discover places in a way ordinary tourists never do. Not only can you cash in on great perks -- like free meals, on-the-house hotel stays, and even all-expenses-paid trips -- but then you get paid to write about what you discover. You don't need to be a gifted wordsmith to do this. If you've ever come back from a vacation and convinced somebody else to go where you went, then you can do it. It's a craft you can learn. At our Global Business Opportunities Workshop, find out what you need -- and don't need -- to make a go of it, the two most important keys to success, and what you can do to get started right now, before you ever leave home… Café, Bookstore, B&B… Owning a Small Business Overseas… Whether it's a café, a bookstore, a bar, a dive shop, a B&B, a boutique, or some other small business you've always dreamed of owning, this December we'll help you talk through the pluses and minuses of each. You'll come away with a list of questions to ask about what businesses make the most sense for the destination you're considering. And we'll point you, too, to some nations where owning a tourism-related business could spare you ten years of income tax and provide other tax incentives, too… so not only could you be earning an income to fund your life overseas, you'd be keeping more of it than you ever would back home… Import-Export… If you've ever brought back souvenirs from a trip… gone in search of something to remember a place by that's not just a tourist trinket… then you've got the instinct you need to turn your shopping trips into real income-earners. This fall in Denver, find out what kinds of products sell best… where to find the most receptive markets for your wares… and even how to create markets for the items you bring back… And find out, too, what it takes to turn your shopping habit into a business that could earn you $100,000 or more a year. Real Estate Investing… Around the world are beautiful, unique, pristine, even historic properties that are remarkably under-priced. This November, we'll give you our top picks. Of course, this is our bread-and-butter here at IL -- we pride ourselves on finding the next, best places to go… on getting there before the crowds… and on telling you how you can do it, too. The truth is, the world is a big place -- and if you're an open-minded, adventurous person, your options are nearly unlimited. At our Global Business Opportunities Workshop, we'll help you --
Selling Your Own Expertise Online… These days, with the Internet making portable careers so much more accessible than ever before, you may be surprised to learn that you can turn a profit on what you know… that is, selling your own expertise. Armed with a computer and online access, you can do it from anywhere you please. Whether your experience and interest lies in training dogs… or in plastic surgery… in quilting… or in teaching math… you can turn anything into an information product you can sell online. This fall, we'll show you exactly how it's done, a formula to follow, and pitfalls to avoid. With virtually no investment (other than the time it takes for you to "package" what you know) you can create a business that can easily grow into a fully portable, six-figure income.
Set Yourself Up for Success from the Start… and Make 2008 the Year You Turn Your Dreams of an International Life into Reality
Now, I'll be frank: We can't, in three days, teach you every last thing there is to know about these portable professions. And we're not going to try. However, we can put you on a very firm footing and show you --
…so you can set yourself up for success from the start. We'll introduce you to the people you need to know, contacts who can help you get going fast. Plus, just as important, we'll help you eliminate the ideas that don't make sense for you. You see, the cadre of experts we've invited to speak to you learned their stuff on the ground, in the real world. They'll be sharing practical, proven secrets that you can put to use immediately to identify where you should be putting your energies so you can have your business up-and-running in a handful of weeks. Now, that might sound like an ambitious promise. But I have no doubt that if you put into action the insider techniques, tricks of the trade, and real-world secrets you'll learn at this one-of-a-kind program… then you will effectively save yourself months -- if not years -- of costly trial-and-error. And in just a matter of weeks -- certainly within a few months -- you could launch for yourself a whole new life overseas… the life you've always imagined… If you're ready to make 2008 the year you take action… the year you make your dreams of an international lifestyle a reality, then you can't afford to miss this event. It's the perfect way to ensure that you enter the New Year with a plan of action, a roadmap for success.
This Time Next Year, You Could be Profiting
Join us for three eye-opening days in Denver this November, and by this time next year, you could be comfortably ensconced in a whole new life… You might find yourself following in the footsteps of Reece Guth… He started his business, Mayta Clay, by toting home a few ceramics from Nicaragua to see how they would sell in the States. After only a few trips, his little business had outgrown his suitcase and he found himself filling a shipping container full of pottery. His initial investment of a few hundred dollars had grown into a $100,000-a-year business. Reece will be on hand this November to share with you the lessons he's learned along the way… lessons that will help you launch your own business even faster than he did. Or maybe you'll take up the adventuresome life of a travel writer -- getting paid to see the world, enjoying the curious respect writers are given. That's Steenie Harvey's game. Steenie, our European Editor here at IL, has been wined and dined around the planet. This November in Denver, she'll explain how she does it and hand you the three most important keys to launching your own travel writing career -- fast, right there from home… Or, maybe you'd rather follow Suzan Haskins' lead. She's the Latin America Editorial Director for IL… and her attitude is: "Have laptop, will go." She and her husband, Dan Prescher, came on board with IL in Ecuador, moved to Mexico, then Panama, then Nicaragua, and then back to Mexico, again. All the while they've been scouring Latin America for the best buys and the most livable locales… and all the while they’ve been taking notes, reporting back to readers like you, and getting paid to do it. This November, Susan and Dan will talk about why "going global" is so much fun… and how you, too, can cash in on its benefits… Of course, you could also find yourself welcoming guests to your own beachside B&B… or running your own online business from a mountain hideaway or a Parisian flat… the options, as you'll discover this fall, are splendidly varied, flexible, and potentially quite lucrative, too.
Gain the Important Tools You Need
Now, many of the careers you'll learn about this November require a certain reliance on technology. And as I'm sure you've experienced… technology can be at once liberating and frustrating. That's why we've invited Mark McMahon, owner of PortableProfessional.com to share with you his picks for the gadgets that can ease your international work life so you're portable and enjoying it… instead of portable and wishing your cell phone worked better. You'll find out --
Learn How to Harness the Internet
One of the most powerful money-making tools you'll have at your disposal once you get settled into your new life in your new country is the Internet. Sure, it's useful for staying connected, for keeping on top of what's going on around the world. But beyond that, it holds the key to a global marketplace you can tap into with great results… if, that is, you know how to make it work to your advantage. That's something else we'll teach you this November. You'll hear from Fred Gleeck, a renowned Internet marketer who has generated more than $10 million in sales from the information products he's developed alone (and that's just a portion of his online empire). He'll share his formulas for harnessing the power of the Internet -- something you can easily apply to any business you're in to immediately boost your income many times over. Ample Time to Mingle with This is going to be a power-packed program, no denying it. We'll have general sessions in the mornings and smaller break-out workshops in the afternoons. You'll find -- as with all our live International Living programs -- that a certain portion of the real value of the experience comes not in the money-making and money-saving information you're gathering… but in the casual interactions you have with the speakers and your fellow attendees. No doubt that in the off-the-cuff remarks, in the informal exchanges at the bar or around the table at lunch -- you learn things you wouldn't pick up any other way. And we've chosen our speakers because we know them to be not only extremely knowledgeable, but also unendingly generous with their time and expertise. I feel certain you'll find the access you gain at this event truly invaluable. This opportunity is one that really can open up for you a whole new chapter in your life -- give you the flexibility and freedom you crave (and the income you need) to live anywhere you want, travel whenever the urge strikes, and support a truly international lifestyle.
PLUS, Come Away With Piles
The truth is, there's a lot of information out there about working overseas -- too much, if you know what I mean. If you do an online search for "work overseas," you'll be rewarded with 51 million hits. It's positively overwhelming (and much of it, quite frankly, not really what you need to know). That's why we've designed this program to give you the straight story about the smartest, most efficient, most effective way to launch your own business overseas. Our speakers will bring with them useful resources you'll come to rely on. Plus, we've compiled the most important secrets, tips, and techniques in an exclusive Special Report created specifically for this Denver program. It's called The Global Business Opportunities Handbook, and in it you'll learn --
When you join us in Denver this November, The Global Business Opportunities Handbook -- and all the additional resources we'll have available -- are yours with our compliments. You'll walk away with what amounts to an essential business opportunities library.
We'll be Based Right in Downtown Denver at a Wonderfully Quirky Hotel
During our time in Denver, we'll be based at a wonderful hotel -- The Curtis. At this whimsical, boutique property close to shops and restaurants, each floor has a funky, pop-culture theme. The rooms have free Wi-Fi and have just been recently renovated. And the martini bar gets rave reviews. Here you'll be right in the heart of things, so you won't need to rent a car. And Denver, with its Rocky Mountain backdrop, is a beautiful, welcoming city worth exploring. We've arranged an excellent discount at the hotel for our conference participants. Rooms here typically cost at least $180 or more per night. But you'll pay just $144 per night as a member of our group. Bring with You this November
