Welcome to Lesson 1 of Generations University. In this foundational lesson, you'll learn one of the biggest reasons people struggle financially—not because they don't earn enough, but because they unknowingly allow "money leaks" to drain their resources. In this class, you'll learn how to: - Identify hidden expenses that quietly steal your wealth - Evaluate the true cost of your spending habits - Redirect your money toward financial freedom - Develop a stewardship mindset rooted in wisdom and intentionality - Begin building a legacy instead of living paycheck to paycheck This isn't about guilt or deprivation. It's about becoming a better steward of what you've been entrusted with and making every dollar work toward your future. Today's Assignment 1. Watch the full lesson. 2. Complete the Money Leak Hunt™ exercise. 3. Identify one money leak you've discovered. 4. Share your biggest takeaway in the comments below. Remember: Awareness is the first step toward transformation. Discussion Question: What is one financial habit you believe is helping you build wealth, and what is one habit you know is holding you back? Generations University Faith. Finance. Leadership. Legacy. "Every dollar has an assignment. Make sure it's yours."

Today marks the beginning of something bigger than a course. We're building a community of people committed to growing in their faith, finances, leadership, and legacy. Over the next several weeks, you won't just receive information—you'll be challenged to think differently, make better financial decisions, and build habits that create lasting change. Here's what I ask of every member: 1. Show up with an open mind. 2. Participate in the discussions. 3. Complete the challenges. 4. Ask questions. 5. Apply what you learn. Transformation doesn't happen by watching videos. It happens through consistent action. Today's Question Before we begin, I'd like to get to know you. Introduce yourself by sharing: • Your name • Where you're from • What you do • One financial goal you want to accomplish over the next 12 months I'll be reading every response, and I'll use them to help shape our discussions and trainings. Welcome to Generations University. Let's build something that lasts.

Most people don’t struggle because they lack opportunity. They struggle because they don’t take action when it matters. Right now, you’re already part of something that’s helping you grow financially. But imagine how much stronger this community becomes when more people are learning, improving, and holding each other accountable. I’m launching my classes tomorrow, July 1st, and I want to help as many people as possible. If you’ve gotten value so far, this is your chance to pay it forward. Think of one person in your life who needs this: - A friend who’s always stressed about money - A family member trying to get ahead - Someone stuck in bad financial habits - Someone who just needs guidance Send them a message. Invite them in. Growth is better when it’s shared. Drop a “DONE” below once you’ve reached out to someone.

What’s one financial habit you know is costing you more than it should? Be honest. Is it: - Eating out too often? - Impulse purchases? - Not following a budget? - Credit card debt? - Subscriptions you forgot about? - Something else? Drop your answer below. Your answer may help someone else realize they’re not alone, and it will help us identify the areas we need to focus on together as a community.

Honest Question. What is the biggest thing currently holding you back from becoming the person God has called you to be? Is it financial pressure? Lack of discipline? Fear of failure? Inconsistency? Lack of clarity? Time management? Something else? Be honest. I’m building Generations University to provide real solutions to real problems, not just more information. Share your answer below. The more specific you are, the better I can serve this community and create trainings that address what you’re actually facing.
