In this episode of Chats with Chip, Karen Swim, President of SoloPR Pro and Words For Hire, joined me in discussing a wide range of issues related to independent public relations practitioners.

Among the topics we discussed were:

* The benefits of being a SoloPR Pro member

* The difference between being an entrepreneur and a PR practitioner

* Achieving work-life balance as an independent consultant

* The impact of technology on solo PR pros

* How vendors can help one-person consulting shops

* Deciding whether and how to grow beyond a single employee
