EP109 - 36 Powerful Ideas - Now it's time for ACTION with Ian Luckett

Sep 27, 2022

In this fifth and final episode of the special IT Experts Podcast mini-series, we dive into the 36 powerful ideas and talk about finally taking all you learned into action to scale your MSP with confidence. 

These 36 powerful ideas to scale your MSP comes from a resource that we have where you can actually download right HERE and is spread out into the five key episodes in this mini-series.    

As usual, I briefly share with you what this mini-series is about, how it came together, how many episodes this consists of, and a recap of the previous episodes.   

 

In this episode of the series, we finally take all the lessons learned from the previous four episodes into ACTION and get results. Time to finally take your MSP through the 7-figure barrier.

The first thing that you need to take into account is balance. It’s important to make sure that you have got a balance in running your MSP. I share with you the analogy of the three-legged stool to help you understand why this is now the time to put some action.

I also ask you the six powerful questions that I want you to spend a good 2-30 minutes on for you to fully have a think about and understand where your business is right now. I want you to write down these questions and answer them with your thoughts and initial response. 

1. On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with how your IT/MSP is growing in line with the vision and hopes you had for it? Be honest with yourself. 
2. If scoring less than a nine or ten, what specifically about the business is causing you to feel this way?  It may be more than one thing or area of the business… 
3. What is the consequence of not addressing what came up in 2)?
4. If you could address what came up in 2) what difference would it make to your business and/or life? 
5. What one thing could you do that would allow you to start to address this?
6. What would success look like if you fully addressed it?

 

The second idea that is important in your action planning is to learn and understand the most important relationship ever. It’s called cause and effect. The choices that you make cause and create effects in your life and in your business.

Next is all about JFDI, like Nike! And the good old accountability. It’s around going the right things in the right order at the right time. And this is what scaling your MSP is all about.

I also tackle potential over performance. The achievement of real success comes from focusing on your potential with your business as well as your performance. Then I remind you of the importance of pausing and taking stock to get some perspective. It’s always a good thing to clear all the clutter in your mind in order for you to move forward and work through your plan.

I hope you enjoyed this mini-series, even though this has been a firehose of information for the whole month of September. We only have three months left before 2023, and let’s make it matter.
