    👀 What happens when an MSP is started by a finance and sales expert instead of an engineer? That’s exactly what Adam Barney and his business partner did with Framework IT, and the results speak for themselves.

    Because they couldn’t do the tech work themselves, they were forced to scale/hire fast, build processes early, and master sales & marketing—leading to massive growth and a unique pricing model that rewards efficiency.

    Here are five powerful lessons I learned from Adam about scaling an MSP strategically:

    ✅ Not Being a Tech Founder Can Be an Advantage
    ✅ The Wrong Clients Will Hold You Back
    ✅ A Unique Pricing Model Can Be a Game-Changer
    ✅ Fear Holds Back More MSPs Than Competition
    ✅ Peer Groups Can Accelerate Growth by Years
