Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where environment, execution, and exponential growth collide.

Today’s topic?

What happens when you stop going it alone and surround yourself with the right people.

One of the guys who’s been applying what we teach just texted me.

He took his company from $4M to $35M... and is on track for $60M next year.

That didn’t happen because of luck.

It happened because he got in the right rooms, leveled up his mindset, and executed on what he learned.

Enough of the lone wolf nonsense.

The right environment accelerates everything.

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

  1. Your circle dictates your ceiling. 
    You cannot outgrow the room you spend the most time in.

  2. Execution beats information. 
    Knowledge without action is just noise.

  3. Environment multiplies effort. 
    One good idea, tested and executed, can collapse years into months.

  4. Isolation is expensive. 
    Every year you try to figure it out alone costs more than you think.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

  1. Your best thinking got you here. 
    If you want different results, you need different inputs.

  2. The right mentor saves you money. 
    One introduction, one insight, one system can pay for itself 100 times over.

  3. Success compounds when you share it. 
    Getting around winners accelerates your wins.

  4. You cannot lone wolf your way to the top. 
    The higher you climb, the more you need a strong circle.

4 Challenges for You This Week

  1. Write down your toughest business challenge. 
    Be specific and honest.

  2. Audit your circle. 
    Who are you actually learning from right now?

  3. Take one idea you’ve been sitting on. 
    Execute it before this week ends.

  4. Apply for the Mentor event. 
    Bring your toughest issue to me this Thursday at my office in Mentor.

"Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.”
— Oprah Winfrey

You don’t need another year of struggling alone.
You need the right room and the right people.

Bring your toughest problem.
Walk out with a solution.
