I want to ask you—the owner or CEO of an IT Service business—a simple, straight question: How many times do you find yourself genuinely thinking about a client's network or business challenge in the middle of the night?

If you're like most dedicated leaders I coach, the answer is "pretty much every...

If I had to pick the single most confusing and often non-existent process in an IT business, it’s the escalation and de-escalation framework. Issues either get sucked into a black hole of inertia, sitting untouched for days, or they blow up and immediately hit the desk of your most expensive enginee...

Let me ask you a few direct questions: Exactly how many tickets do you have in your system right now? And how old is the oldest one? 30 days? 45 days? How about 60?

Now for the most telling metric: How many of those tickets are In Progress? By "In Progress" I mean it has actually been touched at so...

Let's talk about that service board.

For most IT Service Providers, it's not a manageable list of tasks. It's instead what I call the "nebulous blob"—a never-ending, shapeless backlog of work that feels impossible to get ahead of.

Is your business stuck in a cycle of maintenance, constantly chasing the next problem instead of actively producing results?

You made a significant investment in your Professional Services Automation (PSA) platform—whether it’s ConnectWise, Autotask, Rev.io… doesn't matter which one. It’s the central nervous system of your IT business, a tool meant to drive efficiency and profitability. You’ve been promised a streamlined ...

Have you ever felt like your IT team is working hard, but the ticket backlog never seems to shrink? Or wondered if your clients are truly satisfied, but you have no real way of knowing? It's a common frustration, and it's a direct result of not measuring the right things. Let’s dive into the key met...

Is your business moving forward with a clear purpose, or is it just… moving? It’s a question I see all the time. It’s not uncommon for an organization's plan to be outdated, poorly conceived, or even non-existent. Without a clear roadmap, teams work hard but don't gain ground, and goals always remai...

Let’s be honest. We talk a lot about strategy, innovation, and market share. We pore over balance sheets and quarterly reports. And don't get me wrong, those things are indeed vital.
