Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where relationships, resources, and real leverage collide.

Today’s topic?

Why your network is worth more than your net worth.

Last week I was out walking 4 miles with my son Mark to wind down the day.

Phone buzzed. Text came in from someone in my network.

They had a deal on the table with a short deadline. Funds due in days.

Because this guy is in my network, I had my team send the money.

Done.

I’ll make a little over 2k a month while the money is in play.
More importantly, I helped my network grow stronger.
And that always comes full circle.

This is what I mean when I say relationship capital beats financial capital every single time.

Banks won’t move like this.
Hard money lenders won’t either.
But the right network will.

Inside the Deal Maker Alliance, this isn’t rare.
It’s normal.

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. Your biggest asset isn’t money. It’s trust.
   If people can count on you, the opportunities never stop.

2. Speed matters.
   The right network moves faster than any bank or institution.

3. Relationships compound.
   One introduction turns into ten more when you show up with value.

4. Your circle is your ceiling.
   If you want bigger plays, get around bigger players.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

1. Capital flows to confidence.
   If people trust you, they’ll back you. If they don’t, nothing else matters.

2. Your network should solve problems you can’t Google.
   Money, tax, law, health, connections — the right people close the gap instantly.

3. Give before you get.
   The fastest way to grow relationship capital is to invest in others first.

4. The room is the shortcut.
   Most owners waste years trying to figure it out alone. The right room collapses the timeline.

4 Challenges for You This Week

1. Write down the five people you’d call if you had a deal on the table tomorrow.
   Do you trust them? Do they trust you?

2. Audit your current circle.
   Are they lenders of energy, connections, and solutions, or just takers?

3. Make one deposit into your relationship capital bank this week.
   Introduce two people. Share a resource. Add value.

4. Apply to join a room where people don’t just talk about deals, they fund them.
