[thelist] Outsourcing

[Rob Smith]

Well. I guess you get what you pay for huh? Is a few bucks worth
sacrificing integrity? Moving off topic as my mind wonders about how I
can learn from this. My father once told me:
1) find something you like to do. I don't care what it is.
2) get really ... really good at it.
3) find a way to get paid for it.
 ... through years of self-teaching I'm adding ...
4) find a way to serve more people with your talents
5) ... at a lower cost of ownership
6) ... without involving me.
7) ... even when I'm dead.

The direct correlation between risk and the number order of my list walk
hand in hand. So what I'm getting at is yes, outsourcing is a cost
saving venture, but the risk may be more costly than what you're trying
to save in the end. Your best bet when considering outsourcing under
these circumstances is all about who you can trust to get the job done
right the first time.

FWIW,
