Is a Bigger MSP Always Better?? | Guest: Marvin Bee


Listen Later

👀 I’ve been interviewing large, fast-growing MSPs, but what about those who want to keep it small? The truth is, success isn’t about headcount or revenue milestones—it’s about building an MSP that fits your life.

That’s exactly what Marvin B. (aka Uncle Marv) has done with MB Systems and Uncle Marv’s IT Business Podcast. Instead of chasing non-stop growth, Marv designed his business intentionally—one that gives him time freedom, financial stability, and the ability to work with clients he actually enjoys.

Here are several powerful takeaways from my conversation with Marv about defining success on your own terms:

✅ Success Isn’t About Size—It’s About Alignment
✅ Small Doesn’t Mean Struggling
âś… Work With Clients, Not Against Them
âś… Define YOUR Version of Success
