Welcome to Your 444 Newsletter!

Where performance, standards, and ownership collide.

Today’s topic?

Why hiring cheap is the fastest way to go broke.

Everyone talks about saving money.
Nobody talks about what it costs to fix cheap work.
Or chase people down.
Or carry dead weight on your payroll while you do all the heavy lifting.

You don’t save money when you hire cheap.
You just delay the expense and multiply the headache.

If you want to grow a real business, you need real players.
Not project babysitters.

Not energy vampires.
Not warm bodies filling a seat.

It costs more up front.
But it saves your business.
Saves your sanity.
Saves your future.
