[Legacy post: Small Business Talent] Are you a solo professional like me? If so, you’re going to encounter (if you haven’t already) a supply and demand issue that can slow or even stop your revenue growth. Simply put, you’re only one person and you just can’t do it all by yourself.
Fortunately, my guest on the podcast, Azi Rosenblum, has some smart strategic solutions to share with you today. Azi and his team are on a mission to help solopreneurs and small business owners off-load the administrative tasks they shouldn’t be performing so they can focus their valuable time and energy on the activities that result in healthy growth.
Azi launched RemSource in 2009 after observing a significant need for strategic outsourcing in the small and solo business market. RemSource is an offsite/virtual team that takes responsibility for the tasks that a small business owner wants to delegate so they can regain control of their time and create more reliable workflow and results for their business.
As a busy solo, you may often find yourself distracted from the highest value goals you want to accomplish. If you do, then that’s probably because you have no one to delegate your lower value tasks to. It’s a common problem — but it can be solved — and Azi Rosenblum has some practical advice for you.

Kelley Keller on How to Protect Your Intellectual Property (and Avoid Expensive Lawsuits)
[Legacy post: Small Business Talent] As self-employed professionals, all of us own and use intellectual property in a variety of different forms. Intellectual property laws and their impact on our business is an important topic. That’s why I asked Kelley Keller to join me on the podcast today.
Kelley is a seasoned intellectual property law attorney.* Before founding The Keller Law Firm in 2010, she worked for two prominent intellectual property law firms and gained extensive experience dealing with the US Patent and Trademarks Office and the US Copyright Office.
Many solo entrepreneurs are not as informed as they need to be when it comes to intellectual property laws and the legal risks they could be taking without even knowing it. The Keller Law Firm helps business owners like us to avoid these types of problems and the expensive lawsuits that could result.*
Besides her law practice, Kelley recently launched Innovation to Profits where she now offers online courses, coaching and consultative services to business clients. Through Innovation to Profits, she helps business owners like us to turn their intellectual property into assets that drive sales and profits.
So, are you ready to get the facts on how intellectual property law issues might impact you and your business? I hope so, because this topic is too important to ignore. Scroll down to the Podcast Player now — and listen to this valuable interview!
