Duct Tape Marketing

First things first, let's talk about the difference between 'Outsourcing' and 'Offshoring'; Dictionary.com defines 'Outsourcing' as: to purchase (goods) or subcontract (services) from an outside company. Dictionary.com defines 'Offshoring' as: the practice of moving business processes or services to another country, esp. overseas, to reduce costs. Although I want to talk about both today, I think people use these words interchangeably even though they don't mean the same thing.

There are so many business and work models that one could become very overwhelmed very quickly! I think that there is a self-employment model out there for just about anyone, whether it be starting your own business from scratch, buying an existing business or franchise, or distributing a product that you believe in, there really is something for everyone.
