I am getting picky about the conferences that I attend now. Only going to ones that have educational content and not sales pitches, or thinly veiled sales pitches. I also go for the networking, to meet up with friends and colleagues to share wins, struggles, ask questions about what works/doesn't work for them, etc. That's the most valuable part of why I attend conferences honestly. The hallway chats. So far this year I've attended Pax8 Beyond, ASCII Edge, and TechCon Unplugged. Each one a little different than the other, and all were valuable. I don't think I'll be attending any others this year. DattoCon last year was one big sales pitch, outside of Autotask Community Live which had some useful info. IT Nation Connect was awful, one huge sales pitch no educational value, and lame after-hours party (even though that isn't why I am there nor really care too much about it). Plus Orlando is not fun or appealing to me.

I don't go to these events anymore. Very little, if any value. I can learn a lot more by watching videos like yours. I've bought your templates before and I like the idea of an all inclusive plan. I just need to get my shit together to focus and get more value. Nealy there!

I enjoy going to events when I can to catch up with other MSP's and I get value from speaking to these MSP owners and asking them questions etc. I just wish I had space to take my gimbal with me to the uptime event yesterday but packed light. My next video is dropping tomorrow.

I considered going to this one (and another last week) after not bothering to go to any mainland events for years. Not sure what I’d get out of them though other than being sold to, and changing stack is a pain! Networking with peers would be good but to be honest it’s the same people I speak to on forums 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for saving me the (IOW) ferry fare plus travel time!! - Andrew

Great Video Pete! Well said, the truth is hard for some to swallow.

Spot on my friend!!!

Why do you attend MSP Events? Do you find that you get value from going?

Great videos! Very insightful.

Normally great advice from you, but this is too gamey for quality services...

Weird, we use Autotask And love it, its gotten alot better in the past year

Love it. ActiveCampaign was amazing for our small business at Bonjoro. Joined 3 years ago and it has grown so well with us

I needed to use the variable $INVOICESITE, using SITE just dropped in the Main company site. Thanks for the guide!

I definitely see how this tactic would work with something like coaching, but I'm skeptical about whether or not it would work for an MSP 🤔 Did you try this with your own MSP?

Do the have USA Legal template documents?

Keep up the good videos. Tried DeskDay PSA?

Hey Man , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit highly engaging trending short videos from your long form content like the one on my page which can help you built your strong personal brand across all social media platforms and also don't have you give extra efforts for creating shorts separately ?

Thanks bro!

CW is easy to hate but also easy to love.

Just switched from Dashlane to Keeper. We use IT Glue as well for documentation. However, MyGlue is not very good. So far so good with Keeper, I have been looking for a good password keeper. It is offered through Atera's App Center as a 14-day trial.

Hi Pete, we are currently using SyncroMSP right now and are considering making a switch over to either HaloPSA or Accelo. Is there a product you may recommend over the other. Our IT stack is CW RMM(ASIO) now as we moved away from syncro for the MSP, right now syncro is only handing ticketing, billing and we don't want to use CW Manage as we just didn't like it. any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi, Is there any chance that you`re looking for a video editor to create valuable content and make your KZbin Shorts, Instagram, and TilTok more ENGAGING?

Good advice and clear, concise demo

I also like to block out my whole day so I know where I'm meant to be and what I'm meant to be doing. That being said, I found planning every item out (especially with a young family, as I'm sure you can appreciate) to sometimes be impossible to stick to. As a compromise now I use wider time blocks partnered with a to do app, in my case Todoist. For instance, I block out 6am to 9am in my calendar as 'Morning Routine'. I then have a reoccurring task in Todoist titled the same, that includes all the things I need to do in that period i.e make my sons breakfast, make my breakfast, empty the dishwasher, wash my baby sons bottles, clean down, take vitamins, hydrate, travel to the gym, train, return home, drop the kids at school/ grandparents. All these activities need doing in that calendar 'block' but each to do isn't set to a specific time. I also do the same for work, using typically 90 min blocks and I'll create a to do for that work block and again the same for an 'Evening Routine'. It achieves the same end as blocking off the whole day but allows for some more flexibility within that window. It also prevents the weird shame of, 'oh no I haven't made my breakfast by 07:02 - now I'm behind'. As long as the jobs get done in that block, the actual time itself doesn't matter too much.

What about Growably ?

Damnit, thats brilliant! 😂

I been loving KeepassXC

I just subscribed to Fantastical & your channel. Definitely an inspiration keep it coming.

Hi sir How are you Can you growth your channel

What about Pipedrive ? Do you think this is a good SME programe ?

i agree active campaign is better with workflows and not too bloated hubspot tries to do too much

This Video is very nice. Thanks for Video.

Do you use a separate calendar to do the blocking/design?

Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for

Happy to be your 1k subscriber! Great stuff!

Dude, your videos are always AWESOME 👏👏👏 Thanks for spreading the word about the Tribe 🙏

We are a very happy Tech Tribe member! Best 'investment' I ever chose to make 💪

3CX rings a bell. I believe their app was hacked about a year or so ago. The worse part is they didn’t even that they were hacked. I guess this is the “new” 3CX…

Autotask is shit. And since Kasaya bought them I only see it getting worse by going nowhere.

Hi Pete, thanks for the great content. I'm a starting entrepreneur and as an MSP, I'm looking for a new package. Would you still choose the regular packages in that case?

What would you do differently the second time over?

Brilliant Video. Pretty much the same here, I am sadly the other side of 40 with 2 young kids and wasted the bulk of my life in a business that I hated. Now I have the freedom to do what i want and when I want for as long as I want. I sold up and was the best thing I ever did .

Great insights Pete, I’m 8 years into my journey and as the business has grown with 10 employees is bloody hard work, however I hate it some days, love it other days, if I’m not there the business carries on. I’m thinking more about the next steps, management team, what value can I add etc etc. The things I don’t enjoy I pass over to others.

Started my full time MSP 2 years ago. I'm 27 and working 8-12 hours a day. on the edge of hiring somebody, money is definitely there. don't have girlfriend/wife so I don't have any obligations other than my msp. curious how this will change as I get older!

I first Guessed your subscribers count to be like A Millionish, I was more impressed to see that that a small channel with a really good Video Editing technic and on top of that with a great lesson in it... Thanks 😊 That was a fantastic video, Keep up the good work pal.
