    Starting My Journey – From Employee to MSP Owner

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    It's not most of what I spend I just try to be conservative. Some people think 112k a year a lot and it is. I have plenty saved up now and and am being more aggressive. Hence the website re design, purchasing a booth at a major expo this year for my target audience, and working with a marketing...

    Starting My Journey – From Employee to MSP Owner

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I did something similar to this originally. I want my website to have solid focus. I have a web dev building it out from scratch to optimize it for SEO and AIO.

    Starting My Journey – From Employee to MSP Owner

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Hey all – figured I’d start documenting my journey here. I just turned 26 and recently got married. Shortly after, I had a serious health scare that derailed about six months of my life. It was rough, but my wife stuck by me, and I started to see things more clearly during that time. One major...

    Long-Time Lurker, First-Time Freedom

    MINDSET 
    I like this. I got a board where I print out my weekly, monthly and yearly goals now. I used to try and use apps and stuff but it is so easy to mute an app or edit a goal date. I will for sure add that FTE up there as a reminder.

    Long-Time Lurker, First-Time Freedom

    MINDSET 
    About five years ago, a friend recommended Unscripted to me. I won't say it changed my life the day I read it—but it stuck with me. The words echoed in my mind constantly, even as I kept making excuses: I need a paycheck. Health insurance. What if I fail? Four years ago, I filed for an LLC. It...

    I simply just do not know.

    MINDSET 
    I'm 25 years old and I have no debt to my name. I have 20k saved. 10k in the markets. I work a 9-5 WFH IT job. It pays ok. 90k a year which isn't shit where I live. I'm married to an amazing woman who is nothing but supportive of anything I do. I have a side hustle where I do cloud consulting...

    Generating Leads for IT Consulting. Outsource or no?

    MARKETING SCALING QUESTION 
    I like this thought process. It legitimizes my LinkedIn so when I am searched up personally I look credible without directly advertising for my website. Is that what you are getting at?

    Generating Leads for IT Consulting. Outsource or no?

    MARKETING SCALING QUESTION 
    Andy, Thanks for the feedback. My biggest issue right now is my LinkedIn is awesome and I have so many good contacts on there. However if my employer saw my promoting my own business even though it is unrelated to what we currently do I know it would cause issues. I've seen it happen to others...

    SOURCING SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    That is fair enough. Worth a shot at the least. I'll take a look at Flippa. Thanks for the quick reply!

    Best Platform to Sell a Developed ChatGPT-based Program?

    SOURCING SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    I dedicated numerous hours to developing a program that utilizes ChatGPT. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen personal circumstances, I've found myself unable to continue with the project. Between my full-time job and running a consulting business, and other personal issues it's become clear that I...

    The Ever Evolving Process

    ASSERTION 
    A few months back, I took those big first steps into my consulting venture. Snagged my first client, and let me tell you, seeing that money grow in my business account felt amazing. What I loved: Being in the driver's seat of the projects. Watching my hard-earned cash stack up. But here's...

    1st Client Secured!

    MINDSET 
    A bit of luck and a bit of hard work. My full time job is how it happened. My new client is a vendor for one of my full time jobs clients. I was working with them on a big migration and they ended up liking me so much they asked if I could help them with their internal systems.

    1st Client Secured!

    MINDSET 
    Yeah mainly with Microsoft Azure. However with my experience I'm doing more than just consulting for cloud environments. I have lots of experience with on premise environments as well.

    1st Client Secured!

    MINDSET 
    Just wanted to share a small victory. In my initial introduction, I mentioned that I was guilty of empty actions. For instance, I set up an LLC two years ago, printed business cards, but never really pursued the business. It earned $0. However, in the past two weeks, things took a turn. I...
