In this episode, Jeff Loehr, Joe Rojas, and Steve Salmon delve into the challenges many businesses face when expanding nationwide, particularly the onboarding process. With Steve Salmon's insights, they explore the groundbreaking potential of tools like Field Nation to alleviate these pains.

However, at the episode's heart lies a deeper conversation about mindset: the inherent fears associated with growth, loss of control, and embracing external resources. The dialogue continuously circles back to the value of specializing or "having a niche" – stressing its significance in efficiency, process formulation, and confidence-building.

Amidst discussions on the perceived decline of the MSP model, they highlight the importance of adapting to an ever-evolving business landscape, focusing on genuine customer pain points, and steering clear of fleeting trends. Join them as they navigate these intricate terrains and converse with Steve about the future of MSPs.

Been There Done That: Mindset and the MSP

Start Grow Manage

Today we're discussing the importance of adjusting our perspectives. It's pretty common for business owners, especially those in the MSP world, to fall into the been there, done that mindset. They reflect on their experiences, ponder future ideas, and make decisions about what's ahead like it's a foregone conclusion. Sometimes this approach works, but often it limits potential and opportunities because we're so sure something won't work or isn't right for us, just because we tried it years ago.When we think we know it all and have nothing left to learn, our ability to grow takes a serious hit. Let's dive in today and work on refreshing our mindsets. And hey, don't miss our bonus chat about how Joe's daughter is a digital art entrepreneur and Jeff's kids are sort of black-hat hackers now (not really, but they're definitely dabbling in gray-hat territory).
