Episode 9 - The Only 3 Things You Need Each Morning | The Aligned CEO™

Shalece Daniels

Most founders wake up and hit the ground running.
I used to be one of them, inbox before breath, meetings before meaning.

Then I made a radical shift:
 ✨ No alarms
 ✨ A $7.98 gratitude meditation
 ✨ No meetings before 11
 ✨ Morning rituals built around my body’s rhythm

It wasn’t just about rest. It was revenue.
FLOW,  my AI delegation system, was born in that space.
Five-figure contracts came when I stopped sprinting into my day.

Neuroscience shows: The first 20 minutes after waking dictate your cognitive capacity for the next 4 hours. What you do then shapes everything.

In this episode, I’ll give you:
 ✅ My 3-step morning reset
 ✅ A nervous system–aligned strategy
 ✅ The soft shift that drives real profit

Comment below with your biggest shift after listening.
Your power starts the moment you wake up.
