Every MSP needs a compass.
Mission, Vision, and Values keep you focused when growth gets loud.

They turn momentum into purpose.

What core value drives you most right now?

You don’t always know what you’re missing until you’re in the right room.

90 days at MSP-Ignite and the clarity, pace, and peer accountability are on another level.

Same mission—better traction.

Curious? I’m happy to share what I’ve seen.

Lately I’ve been having a lot of "lightbulb moments" with MSP owners.

Not about doing more, about building better. Stronger teams. Smoother operations. A business that runs without them.

If that’s what you’re aiming for, DM me. Always happy to talk MSP.

Some of the most important progress happens quietly, behind the scenes.

What’s one piece of advice or perspective from a peer that changed the way you do business? Maybe it was a tip from a group, a mentor, or another MSP.

Letting go is tough, but it’s often the key to real growth.

What’s one thing you’ve outsourced—bookkeeping, ticket triage, content writing, or something else—that freed up your time and made your business or life better?

Challenge yourself and your team: set aside one hour today with no screens, no devices, and no troubleshooting. Use the time to brainstorm, plan, or just connect as people.

What did you notice or learn from your “no-tech” hour?

#MSP #NoTech #Teamwork #Innovation

Your MSP “superpower” isn’t just tech. Maybe you’re a connector, motivator, or creative problem solver.

What non-technical strength gives your business an edge? Share your superpower and how it helps your team or clients win!

If you could clone yourself for a week, what would you have your clone focus on—client work, big projects, or taking a real vacation?

What’s your MSP “anti-hack”—the thing you intentionally DON’T do because it keeps you more focused or sane? Maybe you skip meetings, ignore tool fads, or refuse to multitask.

Share your anti-hack and why it works for you!

Let’s stir the pot a little. What’s your most unpopular (but honest) opinion about the MSP industry?

Maybe you think less is more, or that some “best practices” are overrated.

Break your routine—try a one-day experiment.

Pick one thing you’ve been meaning to test (a new tool, a workflow tweak, a different meeting format) and give it a real shot today.

If you could rebuild your MSP from scratch today, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently? What would you double down on? Sometimes growth starts with reimagining the basics.

What part of your business would you redesign?

Some of the best systems are born when you stop following the “industry rules” and start doing what actually works for you and your team.

What’s one unconventional process, habit, or approach you use that others might find surprising—but that just works?

Every thriving MSP has one thing in common: a clear map for how work gets done. Mapping out your processes makes it easier to delegate, and get repeatable results.

What’s one process you’ve mapped that saved you time or reduced confusion?

If you could teach one lesson to every new MSP owner, what would it be?

Your experience could save someone else a lot of headaches or help them see things differently.

Share your best piece of advice or the lesson you wish you learned earlier in your journey.

Make Your Next Step Repeatable

If you find yourself solving the same problem twice, it is time to document the solution.

What is one task you have turned into a repeatable process this month?

#MSP #Repeatable #Efficiency #Growth

Ryan O'Hara @ryanohara04.bsky.social · Jul 11

Building your MSP on strong processes brings consistency, less stress, and easier growth. Every documented workflow or checklist gives your team the tools to deliver great results—even when you are not there.

What is one process you have created that made your MSP stronger?

The best results come when your team feels trusted to make decisions and take ownership.

What is one way you encourage your team to lead, not just follow instructions?

#MSP #TeamEmpowerment #Leadership #Culture

Ryan O'Hara @ryanohara04.bsky.social · Jul 10

True operational maturity means your business thrives even when you step away. Empowering your team, documenting processes, and building trust are the keys to freedom and long-term growth.

Celebrate the Lessons, Not Just the Wins

Growth is not just about big victories—it is about learning from every experience. Take a moment tonight to celebrate a lesson you learned, even if it came from a challenge.

What lesson are you grateful for this week?

#MSP #Reflection #Gratitude #Growth

The best MSPs never stop updating their playbook. Make it a habit to review and refine your processes—what worked last year might need a tweak today.

How often do you review your SOPs or workflows?
