JB Glossinger [00:00:07]:
Good morning and welcome. Good morning, coach. Today, I am so glad you're with us. It's JB. It's Monday. It is 05/19/2025. Ready to take it on episode fifty seven zero one. Let's make sure we're doing our morning ritual, our morning routine, getting up, taking some time for self care, getting here and listening to this coach cast.
JB Glossinger [00:00:35]:
So important that you're getting that energy to start your day and then organizing. You know, get that planner out and get the right perspective and the right priorities. How do we get the right priorities? As always, we have a mission of what we're going after and a vision of who we're gonna become. And we're checking that right now, kind of seeing where we're at, what is going on, what's happening in life, and what changes can we make. And if we do that consistently over time, you're gonna win. Pretty simple stuff. Right? So let's stay stick to the basics. And then as we get advanced, make sure you're checking, the Morning Coach news, the AI area, the longevity area.
JB Glossinger [00:01:12]:
There's so much going on in so many different areas here at Morning Coach to help you in whatever it is that you are looking at. Because the truth is, you know, a well rounded life I don't like balanced. I I've just never liked balanced. I like more jazz. I've never ever met anybody that's really truly successful that's extremely balanced. Right? So, typically, there's gonna be some things that you gotta get get after. You know, when I'm training for a marathon, it takes a lot of work. It's just that's going to take a priority.
JB Glossinger [00:01:40]:
Right? It's a place, and there's not gonna be balance. And so you've gotta be able to flow with things and have jazz in your life. But with that being said, we've gotta keep analyzing and looking at what's going on, what's bringing us happy, and taking it day by day. That's the key. And once we get that established, we can start moving forward. So you may wanna go do some spiritual work, right, which we have. You may wanna go do some financial work and start, you know, as we come into June looking at the ILD. And one of the big things I'll tell you at Morning Coach that we're doing is these resources that we're creating, this is a new system.
JB Glossinger [00:02:13]:
You know, I used to launch all these things separately. It's all in there. So it's gonna be there for the future. So don't feel anxiety that you have to do something today. Maybe it's not a priority, but maybe two years down the road, you're gonna write a wanna write a book, and you're gonna wanna put it out there and build your expertise. Or maybe you're gonna wanna take a book you already have, and you're decided to go out there and, you know, kind of rebirth it and remarket it. All that's gonna be an ILD. So there's gonna be a lot of different concepts.
JB Glossinger [00:02:37]:
Like I said, spiritual, we've got some things coming in that area. You know, obviously, AI is a new area that we're going into. And, of course, health and longevity is just gonna continue to grow and build. And if you're working on those specific areas, we're gonna have, the resources for you. You may not have them right away, but as we do it over time, you're gonna you're gonna say, hey. I wanna go learn a little bit about this. It's all here. That's what it's about.
JB Glossinger [00:03:00]:
Okay? So excited this week because we're in a check month. And as you know, it's PDCA, plan, do, check, act. You know, if you got your plan working, we're checking to see what's going on. It's a perfect time to analyze what's happening. And this week, we've got a great week for you. We're going to be talking about you are the mirror and what are you reflecting back? And so our topic is going to be this understanding of us from a leadership perspective. And then what can we do to be a better leader, you know, a better person and really understand these concepts? So today, we're gonna talk about the mirror, and we're gonna talk about this action this idea of reflecting emotion and ideas back. Tomorrow, we're gonna do a deep dive.
JB Glossinger [00:03:39]:
Obviously, we're in rich relationships with Selena. I absolutely love this book. I've mentioned before that if you go on the Compass, you should grab it. It's a great book on relationships, and it's relationships are one of those hard things to find, books on, right, and instruction on. And and as I've been mentioning in the last couple weeks as we discussed this, one of the big takeaways that I've gotten is, you know, sometimes it's not about systems. Right? Sometimes it's a relationship that you need. A relationship can all make the big all the big difference. And so we're gonna be talking about that tomorrow and how to build those rich relationships as Selena calls them.
JB Glossinger [00:04:13]:
Wednesday, we've got understanding the leader's role in parenting and business. Again, it's very similar. We're gonna be getting into leadership a lot this week, helping you, you know, build on those skills to become a better leader. Thursday, we've got Ask JB, obviously, and we're gonna talk about how do I change culture, you know, and and how do I lead a cultural shift at home and still maintain ILD life balance? This is gonna be a good one because we're gonna talk about this concept of working less. But when you have employees and people that have to work forty, fifty hours, sixty hours a week sometimes, and you're only working twenty, how do you pull that off? And what are some things that we can do with that? So we're gonna give you some tools for that. Friday, we're gonna talk about running your own race with, financial mirroring. It's a concept that we'll talk about and being very cautious of keeping up with the Joneses and trying to do things for other people. We're gonna talk about running your own race.
JB Glossinger [00:05:02]:
Saturday, obviously, is doctor Paul. He's been doing a great job the last few weeks on digestion and understanding the depth of that. Again, it might be something that you want not wanna jump all the way into, but the resources are there. And we'll continue to get questions from you, which are great. I know David asked a question the other day, in the longevity community. So we're gonna be continue to answer those, and get to those. Okay. And then Sunday, we've got finding time for spiritual connection.
JB Glossinger [00:05:28]:
Again, finding some time for spirituality is so important here at Morning Coach. Again, everybody has different beliefs, but we, you know, really focus on finding that peace and that happiness and having that well rounded life. Again, not balanced, but have every area covered. You never know when you're gonna hear something that really makes a change for you here at Morning Coach, and that's what we're working with together. So this week, let's get right into it, is about understanding the mirror and who you are for others. It's about clarity, compassion, and correcting course. And today, we organize ourselves to start this with awareness. So, you know, I don't know about you, but there's been times when I have I've really had people upset me.
JB Glossinger [00:06:10]:
And after some reflection, I realized it wasn't about them. And, you know, if you think about it, I I have had team members. I've had, you know, when we launched the big inner circle back in the day, you know, I grew that to almost a million dollar business, and it was really exciting for me. So much so that I took off a little bit from morning coach years ago, you know, and I started focusing on this kind of retreat angle. And I and I love working with people. It's just fun. I just can't work with, you know, everybody that I wanna work with, obviously. And and so the mastermind or the consortium that we do now really can make a a you know, helps me do that.
JB Glossinger [00:06:45]:
And the original inner or the original inner circle, was really cranking. We're having a lot of fun with it. And then I had somebody come in and wanna do some coaching. And at that time, I wasn't doing individual coaching, so I thought, okay. I don't have a problem with that. And, they started coaching one person. And then, what happened was then it I didn't without my knowledge, you know, it ended up being about eight people. And it was I mean, we're talking $5,000 a month coaching.
JB Glossinger [00:07:12]:
So we're talking $4,045,000 dollars a month coming in. And, again, it really wasn't about the money with me. I mean, obviously, that's money we could put in a morning coach. It could have been helping grow things. But at the end of the day, I wasn't told. And that was what was really hard. And it really caused, you know, an integrity breakdown in the group and caused some PTSD. And for me, at that time, it was really tough because I believe in integrity.
JB Glossinger [00:07:38]:
I believe in the chemistry of the group, and I had to close that group down. And not only did it, you know, were we moving that direction, it was finally a 7 figure business and things were, you know, growing. It was big. It really hurt me. It hurt me in a lot of ways. And at time, I had some resentment. I was frustrated. I was angry at the person for doing it.
JB Glossinger [00:07:55]:
I thought, you know, why wouldn't you call me? Why wouldn't you let me know? Why wouldn't we work out some business deal that would make it work for everybody? That's what I believe in. I believe in communication. Obviously, our four legs of the table, that we're gonna be talking a lot about is is really important, the communication aspect, and that was broken down. And so with that resentment and frustration, I I really got angry. And I had to step back. And with some reflection, I realized that the problem was me. And it was because I didn't have clear expectations as we talk about. I didn't put the rules in place.
JB Glossinger [00:08:26]:
And because I had said, yeah. Go ahead. Do some fitness coaching with this one person. It led to more people and the assumption that I was okay with that. And the assumption was, you know, things would work. And I that was my mirror. That was my mirror, of not being clear, not putting things together. Now I would never do anything like that, but, again, I will take total responsibility.
JB Glossinger [00:08:47]:
I'm an adult here, and I wasn't clear on my leadership. I wasn't keeping an eye on things. I wasn't keeping track of what was going on. And so now I have a no sales policy on everything that I do. I don't let people do those type of things because it just it doesn't work, and I learned. So it was a life lesson. But, again, thinking about that, I will I will look in the mirror and go that was me. That why why wasn't I on top of that? Why wasn't it in control? Stepping back, I realized everything happens for a reason.
JB Glossinger [00:09:14]:
That wasn't the business model I wanted to build at the end of the day. You know, it was at that time. But, really, what I wanna do is build this structure and work with people and then have a a a small group of people that I work with in my in in the consortium. So it's been a lot of fun, but it was really hard on me in doing that. So when we understand this, we can start looking at our life and and seeing what we're doing with with other people. So the main message that I want you to get today is that when what you experience in relationships, especially frustration, is often a reflection of what you haven't resolved inside. And so I I think back to that time, I still had some imposter syndrome. I thought I needed people around me that were yes, people.
JB Glossinger [00:09:57]:
And it just was not a healthy thing for me. And so the idea then in the concept that we're talking about here is a mirror theory. People act as mirrors to your inner beliefs and energy. So at that time, if I look back at that, my energy was positive. But, you know, my ego was pretty big. We had a big business and, you know, I wasn't in a position of strength and understanding communication. And obviously, the things that we know now, I hadn't evolved as a human being. And so I need to do some set my evolution.
JB Glossinger [00:10:26]:
But that mirror thing is really what caused some of the issues. The other issue is, is that as that group grew and become less about morning coach and more about like like freedom business, which is okay. I enjoy working with that, But I'm I'm a morning coach person. I want people to understand what's going on and what's happening here. And as we grew, we started getting a lot of people that weren't even in morning coach. So it didn't make a lot of sense. And so understanding that is really important And then being able to look and go, what's happening with other people? And is it me is a really, really, I would say, grown up thing to do. It's adulting at the highest level.
JB Glossinger [00:11:02]:
Right. So when we look at this, when someone triggers you or or you get an issue with another person, you ask, where is, you know, where is this in me? You know, why is this happening? What do I need to do to make the changes? And when we think about our four legs of the table, you know, when we're doing inner work and relationships, we look at our mission and vision. These are the four legs. Are you clear on your values and direction? At that time, I wasn't. I really didn't know what direction I wanna go. My values were more freedom, so I was just letting everybody do what they wanted, where now it's more contribution. Understanding these help us in the big picture. Teams.
JB Glossinger [00:11:34]:
Are your relationships aligned with your growth? Is the support that you have that second leg? Do you have the right people around you? Obviously, at that time, I didn't. I had 10 people working for me and we weren't paying attention. Like, it just it just eight of them, I were friends that I wanted to work with, and and it just really wasn't a solid structure. And, again, that's on me. Communication or expressing clearly or reflecting confusion. And if I think back to that, you know, I was reflecting confusion. I wasn't clear. I should have said, look.
JB Glossinger [00:12:03]:
You can work with this one person, nobody else, and we wouldn't had the issue. Commitment to improvement, and are you working, working on what you're projecting? You know, what are you putting out in the world? What are you doing? And by coming to morning coach every day, putting this energy together, you are working on your projections. So make sure you're understanding those four legs of the table and everything. We're gonna be applying that to a lot of things, but it's really important we know we know what's going on. So use your, you know, your get it done now PDCA, checklist to analyze reoccurring relationship issues. You know, we're in a check month. Do you have some relationships that need some work? You can keep a reflection log to track what irritates you and what to learn from it. Again, this is kinda journaling that you can do.
JB Glossinger [00:12:47]:
And you can ask yourself, what am I teaching others to reflect back to me? You know, what am I what am I putting out there? What is the energy that I'm putting out there? So your challenge today is to observe your reactions when someone triggers you and pause and write that down. What just happened? How did I feel? And what could this reflect about me? Why are you getting triggered? And one of the big revelations for me is, like, there's gonna be people that just don't get it. So why are you getting triggered? How can you move move away from that? Facebook, for example, drives me nuts. And so being able to move away from that energy has been a big part of it. I'm still there, but I'm not as engaged as I used to be. Okay. So let's let's get a couple of things for you to do today. How about the thought of the day? What you see in others is what you most need to heal in yourself.
JB Glossinger [00:13:34]:
So is there hatred? Is there frustration? Is there anger? And you've heard me. I get frustrated. I I don't like to be in the general population. Maybe that's on me. So changing that to love and bringing love and bringing energy and taking it day by day is my focus, bringing good, positive energy. And then a journal prompt for day for today is what pattern keeps showing up in my relationships and what that what might that say about me? What might that say about me? K. Really, that's a good noticing patterns that are showing up in in your relationships. That awareness is so important.
JB Glossinger [00:14:04]:
And Carl Jung, the psychologist, said everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. And again, I think that's the key thing. What we're trying to do here at Morning Coach is create an awareness. Awareness of what's happening within ourselves and understanding what is happening with others is so critical. So let's break it down today. And, again, your challenge is to observe your reactions. And when someone triggers you, pause and write it write it write this down. What just happened? How did I feel? And what could this reflect about me? And that awareness is gonna start to serve you.
JB Glossinger [00:14:38]:
