Don’t Read This Book Unless You Want to Take a Sabbatical: How to Plan (and Actually Take) a Gap Year or Sabbatical

This is the ultimate How To book for planning and taking a work sabbatical, a gap year for grownups, or just vagabonding across the world.

Learn how a working father of three developed a plan in just 18 months to take a work sabbatical to volunteer in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Taking a sabbatical used to be considered an option only for university professors or artists or wealthy people. But these days, taking a sabbatical can be an option for anyone—if you plan carefully. In this book, you’ll learn about all considerations to take into account in order to plan a sabbatical. If you take the time to complete the suggested exercises, you will develop an action plan to work toward.

This book is a compilation of all that I learned—including the creative ideas to collect funds and save on expenses.

You’ll learn how to:
•Identify the purpose of your sabbatical
•Determine the target location, timing and duration
•Plan a budget for the funds you will need on-location, at home and upon reentry
•Find ways to fund your adventure
•Discuss the sabbatical with your employer
•Develop To-Do lists to prepare
•Develop a plan for reentry
•Find creative ways to collect funds and save on travel expenses

I include links to websites to help in your research and even provide a free downloadable budget worksheet that can help you plan appropriately.

You'll walk away with more ideas for your adventure than you ever considered before.

More importantly, you'll feel that sabbatical you've dreamed of is more attainable than you ever imagined.
