She has employed a telemarketing firm in OK for appointment setting with these medium-sized-company decision makers. This is working nicely. We would like to outsource to someone research and putting together a dossier on these small companies, all their vital business data and the personnel surrounding the decision makers. Any ideas who might do this for us? Have outsourced to my wife who has outsourced marketing data crunching and acquisition to folks in India and Malaysia.

I posted an ad on Craigslist for a personal chef for $5 a meal. Since last night, I've gotten about a dozen replies. Half of them are cooks insulted that I'd put the $5 figure up on the sight. The other half seem to be quite interested, or offered solutions to how I could get the cost down closer to $5 (i.e. bulk cooking meals). Tim, love the book! Rock on buddy!

Phase one - short term goal: several "side-hustles" to begin to finance my future of freedom. My current plan involves outsourcing production and marketing of 2 products - one is a garment and one is a food product. I want to outsource very aspect of it. Am I able to outsource the food production overseas? Is this legal? Safe? If so, I am sure there are stringent guidelines/laws to follow. I certainly don't want anyone to eat my product and die...(one of my forseeable "worst case scenarios" from Tim's excercise). Any help is appreciated!
