The Complete Success Guide for the Immigrant Life: How to Survive * How to Thrive * How to be Fully Alive

The book is intended for the prospective immigrant whose internal compass points to America as the place to be; for those searching for a road map as a guide in building an exciting and new, meaningful life; and perhaps even for some who sometimes forget what a great gift it is to live and work in America.

Discover the Secrets of: • Tapping into your innate strengths. The highly effective attitudes and behaviors that determine immigrant success; your faith, your family and other simple, coping mechanisms; identifying the reasons for failure and overcoming challenges; avoiding the dangers that derail you from achieving your goal. • Starting up and starting over. Your life as an immigrant is like being given a tabula rasa, a new tablet, a clean slate from which you can build a brave new life in a brave new world brick by brick one day at a time; knowing yourself, your skills and abilities and working at your own pace. • Building financial muscle. Practical and easy ways of building a healthy financial position early; while cash is king, a good credit history is queen; stretching the dollar to the max; prodigious saving techniques; why the meek shall inherit the earth. • Getting legal status. The employment route; desperately looking for employer sponsorship; finding an immigration lawyer; using employment agencies and headhunters; working under the table and in the shadows; employers from hell, oppressive working conditions and basic human rights; the labor market, economic health and how it affects the flow of immigration. • Achieving Real Success. True success versus the toxic kind; making sense of phyrric victory; making it and making a difference; Quo vadis, immigrant soul? This work has a smaller companion book entitled, "The Immigrant's Little Quote Book for Success" that any immigrant can read for enjoyment and a bit of guidance.
