Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where clarity, ownership, and personal responsibility collide.

Today’s topic?

You are not too busy.

You are addicted to being needed.

Most entrepreneurs do not realize this at first.

They think they have a calendar problem, a staffing problem, or a time problem.

But the truth is far simpler.

They built a business that only runs when they rescue it.

They stay on calls they should not be on.

They answer questions their team should already know.

They step into every fire because it makes them feel in control.

It feels productive, but it keeps you trapped.

That is not leadership.

That is dependency.

That is mule behavior.
