Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where mindset, marketing, and massive momentum collide.

Ever wonder why it feels like no matter how hard you work, you keep hitting the same ceiling?
You scale up… but only so far.
You make money… but not as much as you know you could.
You keep pushing… but the breakthrough doesn’t come.

I’ve been there. Most entrepreneurs have.
But here’s the truth that snapped me out of it:

Your income will never outgrow your identity.

And I break it all down in this Making of a DM podcast.
Listen here before this holds you back any longer.

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

  1. You’re not stuck because of your strategy.
    You’re stuck because of your self-image. You can’t earn like a multimillionaire while thinking like a beginner.

  2. Your results will always match your identity.
    It’s not the economy. It’s not the competition. It’s YOU. What you believe you’re worth is what you’ll earn.

  3. The “next level” you? They don’t live where you are now.
    They think bigger. They take bigger risks. They expect bigger results.
    Are you ready to become them?

  4. Most people quit when things get hard.
    But hard is where the breakthroughs happen. Hard means you’re growing. If it’s hard, you’re on the right track.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

  1. 1. Identity drives everything.
    Want to make 7-figures? You need to think like someone who earns 7-figures. And act like it before you have it.

  2. Hard isn’t bad—it’s a signal.
    When business gets tough, most people panic. The winners? They get laser-focused and push through.

  3. Growth happens when you get uncomfortable.
    I’m in Melbourne, Australia as I write this. 15 hours ahead, 2AM calls, running businesses from the other side of the world.
    Uncomfortable? Yes. But that’s where the growth is.

  4. Your environment creates your identity.
    Get in the right rooms. Surround yourself with big thinkers. You’ll start thinking (and acting) like them.

4 Challenges to Tackle This Week

  1. Audit your identity.
    What beliefs about yourself are holding you back? Time to let go of the old story.

  2. Raise your standards.
    Your future self isn’t waiting for permission. Start acting like them today.

  3. Get uncomfortable.
    Take on the task you’ve been avoiding. The one that stretches you. Growth requires discomfort.

  4. Put yourself in bigger rooms.
    Who are you learning from? Who are you surrounding yourself with? If you’re the smartest person in the room… find a new room.

"You can’t outperform your self-image.”
— Maxwell Maltz

If you want to scale your business and your life, you can’t stay the same. The hardest thing you’ll ever do is let go of who you were—so you can become who you’re meant to be.

I’m breaking this all down (and getting real about it) in this week’s episode.
