A short interview excerpt with Chris Wiser describing how he grew an MSP business, emphasizing early delegation. He recounts securing his first contract — a $6,000/month deal at the end of 2004 — and immediately hiring a help-desk employee within two weeks so clients would not call his personal cell phone, allowing him to focus on higher-level work.

And I kind of didn't even know. I didn't really know what I was doing.
So it was a really good guess.
It was just. Honestly, it was a guess, but it was like, I don't want to be the. Like, I didn't want to be a slave to a phone.
