Elevate in 2025: 6 Essential Self-Improvement Blogs to Check Out

I’ve always been a strong believer in self-improvement. Throughout my career, I’ve read every self-help book I could find, with the goal of being better tomorrow than I am today. This mindset, often referred to as the “growth mindset,” is something I encourage everyone to adopt.

That said, I often come across people who roll their eyes at the self-improvement category. While I understand their perspective — since much of the advice may seem like common sense — I believe they miss the point. Most people already know what they need to do; they just don’t know how to do it, or they simply need reinforcement.

Throughout 2024, I explored several self-improvement topics for MSPs on the TruMethods blog.

Here are some of the key pieces I recommend reviewing to help you in 2025.

Self-Discipline is Not Unlimited

While goals hold us accountable, we need self-discipline to take action. Over the years, I’ve learned and observed that we all have a finite amount of self-discipline. Everyone’s limit is different. You can increase your capacity when you have goals you are passionate about, but that doesn’t necessarily mean your self-discipline becomes unlimited. You need to choose your priorities wisely.

Navigating Success: Understanding the Process Matters More Than You Think

The only way to succeed in your personal life and business is by understanding how to set and achieve goals effectively. I encourage you to step back and take a moment to review your goalsetting process to ensure you’re setting yourself up for future success.

Embracing a Slower Pace in 2024

Since the beginning of the pandemic, it feels like time has sped up. Most people I speak to feel the same way. Life is just moving faster. Looking ahead, I’m setting a goal to slow things down a bit. Will you join me?

Ask Yourself as an MSP Leader: What Do You Want?

Having a clear goal and understanding where you want to be, along with what you’re willing to do —and most importantly, sacrifice — are key factors differentiating those who succeed from those who don’t. Understanding what you want is what will put you on the right path for success.

Misaligning Priorities with Aspirations

Most MSP leaders want to grow their businesses, and they aspire to have new monthly recurring revenue (MRR) at the right price. However, many do not achieve this. In our TruMethods Peer groups, we see MSP leaders who have been in business for many years and have gone entire quarters without a new customer. This is a symptom of something bigger.

Thanks, Zig

As a young salesperson, I listened to Zig Ziglar all the time. He was the king of quotes, and one that has stuck with me over the years is: “You can get whatever you want out of life if you just help enough other people get what they want.” I love this quote, and I have found it to be so true throughout my career.
