The Sacred 6: The Simple Step-by-Step Process for Focusing Your Attention and Recovering Your Dreams

by JB Glossinger

Overview

MorningCoach motivational speaker and consultant JB Glossinger thought he had found what he was looking for once he achieved a golden level of corporate success and financial freedom. But even as he relished having conquered the corporate ladder, he felt a strong pull to seek something more, leading him to actualize his personal dream.

By aligning his mission, values, and goals, JB was able to form an action plan and achieve his vision of a fulfilling career of guiding others toward realizing their inner purpose balanced with his passions of family, golf, and writing—all with a three-hour workday.

Grounded in years of coaching groups, companies, and individuals, JB has developed a Sacred Six process, adaptable to each person’s core principles, "keystone" positive habits, and unique goals. More than a simple self-help program, the Sacred Six process is about getting things done and focusing on one’s life story, encompassing their journey and purpose.

An insightful and entertaining raconteur, JB weaves his personal tale of trials and triumph into his time-tested steps for creating a joyful and fulfilling life.

Editorial Reviews

Success and happiness are as much about what you choose not to do as they are about what you do. JB has written a great book to help you prioritize what matters to you, and how to create the life you love.”

— Randy Gage, author of the New York Times bestsellers Mad Genius and Risky Is the New Safe

“In The Sacred Six, JB Glossinger introduces a powerful and innovative framework for anyone who is yearning to achieve personal transformation. Glossinger is a brilliant writer and a masterful storyteller, and I found myself hanging on his every word and taking copious notes. The Sacred Six is a must-read book for anyone seeking to live their true legacy. Highly recommended.”

— Ryan Levesque, #1 national best-selling author of Ask

 “JB’s Sacred Six, like most great ideas, appears simple but is absolutely a boiled-down game changer that has made me 1000% more effective and productive! As a TV producer, I used to have a to-do list of 40–50 items. And I would routinely get done a small percentage of that, searching for the easiest thing to do so I could check off enough items that I wouldn’t feel completely defeated by the end of the day. After hearing JB touch upon the Sacred Six in his podcast, I started capping my list at six items…and it worked. JB outlines how you can prioritize based on higher goals and create a winnable day. A mix of Eckhart Tolle, Stephen Covey, Dave Allen, Tim Ferriss, Wayne Dyer, and a boatload of others, JB will wake you up to a method you’ll use every day!”

— Michael Addis, producer/director

“JB has created a gem! The Sacred Six is a fun, interesting, and easy read that really packs a punch. I love the way JB has created a process to achieve the life we all dream about. I have read stacks and stacks of self-development books, and The Sacred Six sits near the top."

— Bob Negen; retail expert, author, and speaker; WhizBang! Training

“This book will give you the steps you need to make progress in any area of your life…There are many books out that that talk about following your dreams—this one tells you HOW to follow your dreams and achieve your goals, step by step, day by day…I have read numerous books on following your dreams, building a career from your passion, etc. All are fine, but most don’t deal with real life. JB Glossinger deals with real life and will guide you to actually achieving your goals while living…Transformational!

— Lee Kellogg, owner/speaker, Guadalupe’s Fun Rubber Stamps

“By writing The Sacred Six, the amazing JB Glossinger has made the complete transformation from ‘The Morning Coach’...to the ‘All Day Coach’...to the ‘Lifetime Coach.’ In my 35 years in business and marketing, I have never met anyone with more heart and enthusiasm than JB…He truly ‘listens to his listeners’…and he constantly checks and re-checks what they need and then how he can deliver exactly what they need. The Sacred Six is a super-powerful opus written in a “show” style rather than a “tell” style—with moving and inspirational stories from JB’s own life and from the lives of his readers and listeners. JB teaches us so much in this book about what is really important as we make order out of chaos in our busy worlds, making sure we are always focused on making the biggest impact we can make. And he guides us with both deep intelligence and what he calls ‘childlike enthusiasm’…since both are critical to our growth and ultimate happiness. This book is a gift to all of us and we are so fortunate JB has shared his journey and all he has learned along the way.”

— Brian Kurtz, business builder of Boardroom Inc. and serial direct marketer

“In my 35 plus years as one of the most prominent casting directors in the Southeastern United States, one of the biggest issues I see plaguing actors is the fact that they don’t have a game plan for their acting career. The question I always ask my actors is would they start on a cross-country road trip without a map and a plan of action? It’s the same principle for any career. After I read The Sacred Six, I knew that this would be one book that I would recommend to anyone—not just my actors—who has a goal in mind and isn’t quite sure how to get there. The Sacred Six will get you there without wasting your time!”

— Lori S. Wyman, MS, CSA
