Back in school, I couldn’t stand algebra. All those letters x, y, z felt like nonsense. Then it clicked. The letters weren’t random. They were unknowns. And the key to solving them was simple: if you know the constant, you can figure out the rest. Life works the same way. We get paralyzed by the unknowns: - What if it doesn’t work - What if I can’t raise the money - What if the contract falls through - What if I’m too late There will always be “what ifs.” That’s life’s algebra. The only way forward is to focus on the constants: - You’ve prepared - You have the skills - You know the material - You’ve built the right team - You’ve run the numbers Those are your anchors. That’s your constant. The unknowns don’t go away, but they lose their power when you move with what you do know. This week’s reset Don’t obsess over variables you can’t solve yet. Anchor yourself in the constants you can. Post one constant you’re standing on this week, and let’s encourage each other to keep moving forward. L

The words you speak—especially the ones you whisper to yourself—are either building or breaking your future. If you keep telling yourself: 👉 “I’ll never get ahead financially.” 👉 “I’m just bad with money.” 👉 “It doesn’t matter, I’ll always be in debt.” Then guess what? Your mind believes it. Your behavior follows it. And your bank account confirms it. That’s why in the ALIGN framework, we start with awareness of both our language and our behavior. The way you speak to yourself isn’t just talk—it’s strategy. Change your language → change your behavior. Change your behavior → change your life. ✨ This week’s ALIGN reset: Catch one negative phrase you repeat about money or success. Rewrite it into something life-giving. Instead of: “I’ll never get out of debt.” Say: “Every choice I make is moving me closer to financial freedom.” Because your words are seeds. And you will always harvest what you plant. 🌱 👉 Drop your rewritten phrase in the comments so we can encourage each other and build a new money language together

Everyone wants to talk about the things you should do to reach your goals. Few talk about the things you need to say no to. The truth? Success is not just built on action it’s built on subtraction. - Saying no to people who drain your energy. - Saying no to the scroll that steals your time. - Saying no to the habits that keep you stuck in the same cycle. - Saying no even to yourself when you crave short-term comfort over long-term freedom. Every “yes” to distraction is a “no” to your destiny. Every “no” to distraction is a “yes” to alignment. 👉 This week, I challenge you to practice strategic refusal. Pick ONE area where you know you need to say no—whether it’s overspending, overcommitting, or overconsuming—and commit to it. Drop it in the comments below 👇 so the community can hold you accountable. Remember: Your priorities only come alive when you protect them. LaFrance

Theme: “What you can’t see, you can’t change.” This week, we’re going to build momentum by sharpening one skill: awareness of our money behaviors. 🏗️ Activity: “Track the Trigger” For the next 7 days, write down every financial decision you make in real time—big or small—and what triggered it. Examples: - Bought lunch out instead of bringing it → Trigger = convenience / “I was rushing.” - Paid a bill late → Trigger = avoidance / “I didn’t want to look at my balance.” - Saved $50 automatically → Trigger = system / “I set it up last month, didn’t think twice.” 👉 The goal isn’t to judge yourself. It’s to build awareness of the patterns running in the background. 📒 How to do it: 1. Keep a simple list in Notes on your phone or in a small notebook. 2. At the end of each day, post ONE insight in the community: 🔑 Why this matters: - Awareness is the first step toward freedom. - If you can see the trigger, you can change the response. - Over 7 days, you’ll learn more about yourself than most people do in a year. 🙌 Momentum Question for the group:Who’s in for the Track the Trigger challenge this week? Drop a ✅ below and let’s build the muscle of awareness together.

Most people spend money the way they live life on autopilot. Bills come, they get paid. A little extra comes in, it disappears. By the end of the month, the cycle repeats. But ALIGN asks you to stop and ask: 👉 Am I Aware of where my money is really going? 👉 Am I making Choices with intention, or just reacting to the next bill? Here’s a Sunday thought: Your budget is not just about dollars it’s a mirror of your priorities. - If Netflix shows up but savings doesn’t, what does that say about your vision for the future? - If debt payments are automatic but generosity never makes the plan, what does that say about your values? Proverbs 27:23 reminds us: “Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and attend to your herds.” In 2025, that means: know the state of your bank account and attend to your spending. 💡 Reflection Challenge for Today: Before the week begins, write down the top 3 things you want your money to do for you this month. Then check, does your spending align with that, or are you living by default?
