Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where grit, pressure, and persistence collide.

Today’s topic?

 The moments that almost break you… and how they build you.

When I was 26, my business looked great from the outside.
Inside, it was a complete disaster.
Jobs falling apart. Banks calling nonstop. People telling me to quit.

There were nights I sat in my freezing car wondering if this whole thing was a mistake.

But I didn’t quit.

And I’m glad I didn’t, because those were the exact moments that made me who I am today.

The truth is, success doesn’t come from comfort.
It comes from pressure.
It comes from staying in the game when most people tap out.

That’s how you get sharp.
That’s how you get better.
That’s how you build something that lasts.

Read the full 444 Newsletter here to see the 4 thoughts, 4 lessons, and 4 challenges I’ve learned about staying in the game when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
