It's not too late! YOU can get into Managed Services --
in a month. All you need is a little guidance
and how-to instruction. As Karl says, lots of people have done this and
you can, too.
Even if you decide not to become an MSP
(managed service provider), this book is full of great advice about
taking stock of your business, "weeding your client garden," adjusting
your prices, and other best practices for the SMB Consultant.
Based on Karl's very popular
SmallBizThoughts blog, this book is guaranteed to improve your
business. Hundreds of people have taken the challenge and become MSPs in
a month -- and so can you!
This book is available in three forms:
- As a book
- As a set of audio CDs
- As an audio MP3 download

Managed
Services In A Month page.

The premise of
this book is simple but powerful: The fundamental keys to success are
focus, hard work, and balance. Too often, the advice we receive gives
plenty of attention to focus and hard work, but very little to balance.
This great little book will help you believe that you
need balance, show you the power of focus, and help you move forward
with the new you -- a happier, healthier, better balanced, and more
successful you.

Our Biggest
Seller!
We all say we
need to document that network someday. Well someday is here!
The Network
Documentation Workbook came out of the standard procedures of
KPEnterprises, a small business consulting firm in Sacramento, CA. Karl
has been a successful network consultant for more than twenty years.
The
"Consultant Edition" allows you to document all of your clients'
networks. You get all the forms on CD-ROM in both Word and PDF format.
You can customize them for your operation, including putting your own
logo on the forms.
"This workbook
and the included CD are a must for the small business IT consultant.
. . .
Bottom line -
you will win a customer for life when someone new comes in and they
don't need to be hand-held or shown how everything works.
This book does not have any revolutionary earth-changing principles - it
is just a ton of work condensed into templates so you can be very
productive right away. Even if you tried to recreate some of the work by
hand it would not make financial sense."

price, how to sell it, or how to deliver it.
Well, Erick
knows. And in the guide he tells all.
In addition to
this great book, Erick runs the Managed Services Provider University.
