From humble beginnings in 1997 to a national brand with dozens of acquisitions, Bajwa’s story is a masterclass in leadership, humility, and disciplined growth.

• How to build leaders who outshine you (and why that’s a good thing)
• The secret to developing internal talent instead of overpaying for it
• When to invest in systems, ops, and leadership training
• How “reputation marketing” beats hype every time

What does it really take to build an MSP from scratch in the middle of a recession — with no technical background, two kids watching, and absolutely no Plan B?
In this candid and energizing episode of My First Million, Doug Bates shares the unlikely origin story behind CMIT Solutions of the Atlanta Southern Crescent. Doug didn’t come up through the help desk. He didn’t code. He didn’t “start fixing computers for friends and realize it could be a business.” In fact, his degree was in business and speech communication, and he once worked for LEGO. Yes — actual LEGO.
But when corporate life demanded another move and his daughter tearfully reminded him of a promise he’d made — that the family was done uprooting — Doug decided to bet on himself. He launched his MSP on April Fool’s Day 2009, during the economic collapse… and committed to one core principle:
“We will fail doing this business right before I succeed doing it wrong.”
What follows is a story of discipline, humility, extreme ownership, and the deeply human side of entrepreneurship — including:
- The family sacrifices required to build a business that lasts.
- Why being the non-technical owner was actually a strategic advantage.
- The customer experience move that completely transformed their retention.
- How slow, steady, relationship-driven growth took them from break/fix projects to multi-location MSP stability.
- The simple mindset shift that separates those who cross $1M from those who stall out.
Doug doesn’t romanticize the grind — he tells the truth about it. The pressure. The doubt. The beans-and-weenies years. The moments where you either lean forward or quit.
And he offers one final piece of advice for any MSP stuck under $1M:
If you’re not all in, don’t expect all out results.
This episode is sharp, honest, occasionally funny, and deeply motivating — especially if you’re in the thick of building something that matters.
Watch it. You’ll walk away thinking differently — about your business and yourself.

If you think your first salesperson will “handle it” while you retreat to the server room, think again. Nathan Whittacre, Founder & CEO of Stimulus Technologies, breaks down how he went from a garage PC shop to a $12M, 70-person, six-location MSP/ISP—without losing his sanity (or his hair 😅).
We cover the real levers that move revenue: founder-led sales discipline, ruthless focus on repeatable process, and when acquisitions are rocket fuel vs. a dumpster fire. Nathan also shares how building an ISP arm (fixed wireless + fiber) and landing multi-million-dollar federal grants unlocked outsized growth in rural markets.

Ray has carved pumpkins at the White House.
Ray holds a Guinness World Record Pumpkin and a place in Ripley's Believe it or Not for his pumpkin creations.
Ray’s exposure to the world with his pumpkin carving began on the Food Network's "Challenge" show series where he swept all rounds winning the show. It wound up being the highest-rated "Challenge" Show that the network had seen, spawning the series "Halloween Wars" where Ray was also a competitor on Season One. Ray returned over a decade later to the Food Network as a judge when they decided to revive the Pumpkin Challenge Series, bringing his experience full circle.

MSP Success and Galactic Advisors share a breaking trend that's costing MSPs that you need to know...
How Insurance Companies Are Causing MSPs To Lose Big Clients And How To Stop It From Happening To You
Plus, you'll discover how to flip this trend and use it to turn leads into clients.
By now you’ve had at least one client hand you one of the new 20-page cyber insurance self-assessment questionnaires.
Bet you can’t guess what’s worse than all the liability the insurance companies are stacking on your shoulders with all these new requirements…I’ll tell you: Your client getting a note from their insurance company saying they have been dropped from their policy because their MSP didn’t [fill in the blank].
If you are waiting for the insurance company to educate your clients on their new requirements, you are missing a huge opportunity (and putting your biggest most profitable clients at risk).
You are probably thinking: "I’ll just wait until it is renewal time."
NOPE. The insurance companies are now scanning their clients’ networks looking for vulnerabilities. Your client isn’t asking for this. The insurance companies are just doing it. Sometimes insurance companies are doing this in the middle of their terms and reaching out to your clients saying, “Your network isn’t secure.”
Everyone is already on edge reading about MSPs spreading ransomware. Now a note from the insurance company saying your work isn’t up to par? This conversation does not end well for the MSP.
Which of your clients do you think this is going to happen to? Which ones have cyber security insurance? The most security-minded, risk-averse, financially mature, biggest, most profitable clients. That’s who.
Cyber insurance companies aren’t going to reach out to that cruddy little client you’ve been thinking about getting rid of for years. They are going to be talking to your and their biggest clients. The ones that you dread losing.
Join Bruce and Robin to hear about the new cyber insurance requirements, and how to turn them into a tremendous opportunity rather than a HUGE liability.
Do you know anyone that's worked with Sir Elton John or Elon Musk, sent people down to see the wreck of the Titanic on the sea bed or closed museums in Florence for a private dinner party and then had Andrea Bocelli serenade them while they eat their pasta? You do now.
