Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where money, mindset, and the universe’s sense of humor collide.

Today’s topic?
The moment fear pretended to be logic… and what it really cost you.

I once skipped a $6 steak upgrade at dinner.
Thought I was being smart. Saving money.
Ten minutes later, I get a call.
Sewer line exploded at one of my properties.

Bill: $6,000.

Universe said, “Oh, you wanna act broke? Bet.”

It wasn’t about the steak. It was about how I was thinking.

And I know you’ve done the same.

You passed on the better hire.
Skipped the investment.
Listened to a broke friend tell you to “play it safe.”

And it cost you.

Because fear loves to wear a logic costume.
But it’s still fear.

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. You will always pay.
   The question is whether you’re paying for growth or paying for delay.

2. Cheap costs more.
   Discounts and half-measures look smart until they explode.

3. Broke thinking creates broke results.
   It shows up in tiny choices and leads to massive setbacks.

4. The universe responds to how you move.
   If you act small, it gives you small. If you move bold, doors open.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

1. Being careful is not a business strategy.
   It is fear in disguise. Every time I tried to play it safe, it backfired.

2. The price you avoid usually finds another way to show up.
   And it usually adds a few zeroes.

3. Abundance is a mindset first, not a result.
   You can’t get rich thinking broke.

4. Smart decisions come from vision, not fear.
   The people who win are the ones who make bold calls with clarity.

4 Challenges for You This Week

1. Think of one place where you are cutting corners.
   Time, money, talent. Write it down. Then ask what it is really costing you.

2. Audit your ‘playing small’ moments.
   Where are you letting fear pretend it’s logic?

3. Invest in the upgrade.
   Not because it’s fancy. But because you believe you’re worth it.

4. Hit reply and tell me your story.
   The one where fear cost you more than it saved. Let me know if you’ve changed how you move since.

The moment you start making decisions from belief instead of fear, everything changes.

Because the universe is listening.

And it knows exactly how you think.

Hit reply and share your story.
Let’s talk about the moment it clicked.
