Foreigner in My Own World

By Mehdi Kouchtaf

Through the process of writing Foreigner in My Own World, Mehdi Kouchtaf relived almost two decades of sales management and entrepreneurship experience. Within these pages, he shares great memories and successes as well as the challenges and failures that have moved him closer to his professional goals. From living in three different countries with three different cultures and three different languages to scrabbling for any available job, then realizing a sales gig was his only option, Mehdi had to learn on the fly. His baptism by fire included studying and becoming fluent in the English language so he could meet the needs of his clients, rejecting fear ideologies of xenophobic prospects, and living crammed in a houseful of co-workers. Mehdi's attitude of "screw any excuse," allowed him to succeed in a cutthroat world and introduces the different perspective of what it takes to make it when you are a transplant to a brand-new country. Touching on sales strategy and the entrepreneurship lifestyle, Foreigner in My Own World dives into the mindset and the mental toughness required to excel in a competitive industry. After rejecting the expectation to turn into the "perfect employee," Mehdi initially sought comfort and predictability in his career until he learned what he was truly capable of and that he would do whatever it took to prove everyone who had ever doubted him wrong.
