10 lessons I learned while running my own MSP:

Viewing the MSP as an asset rather than just a job shifted my approach to growth and exit planning.

Implementing 'Delegate and Elevate' honed my focus on strengths and accelerated productivity.

(6) "Scaling Insights"

Realizing that fixing profitability issues first is crucial before scaling the business for long-term success.

(7) "Strategic Withdrawal"

Transitioning from working in the business to on the business, delegating day-to-day tasks for big-picture focus.

(8) "Client Relationship"

Developing deep client connections through hands-on sales efforts rather than relying solely on marketing.

Facing and overcoming the typical pitfalls of MSPs at various stages of revenue and development.
