The Six Circle Strategy: The Entrepreneur’s Journey to Wealth and Freedom
Build the best business and the best life by focusing on what matters most.
Everyone who wants to achieve something great in life experiences side journeys, setbacks, and opportunities. As an entrepreneur, you know this to be true more than the journey to entrepreneurial success is never a straight line. Wealth management entrepreneur Chris S. Reynolds has learned firsthand throughout his successful career that preparing for a winding journey is the difference between success and failure. In The Six Circle Strategy, he shares his strategy on how different circles are a key tool for you to get your business on the looping road to financial soundness.
Entrepreneurship is a long game, and it requires us to set clear boundaries about what we want and can do, and what we should leave outside of our circle of influence. And circles are lenses to help us focus on what matters most. They let us revisit our choices, change and rebuild our skills, and come back to our clients with all we’ve learned. By adopting Reynolds’s Six Circles method, you can follow this pattern from your initial vision to business accomplishment. You will learn why self-awareness sets up success at its early stage, how to create a trusted client base with the people you want to know, and to build sustainability in your business by avoiding burnout. Reynolds shows us that entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be a slog, and you can not only create value for you and your clients but also leave everyone happy—not just satisfied.
Chris S. Reynolds’ know-how, developed over thirty years of building, buying, growing, and selling his own businesses, teaches you how to build these circles for yourself. With The Six Circle Strategy, you’ll be ready for any curve your entrepreneur journey throws at you, without sacrificing your clients’ or your own happiness. This isn’t just a guide to building a business—it’s a roadmap for a long-term, successful entrepreneurial future.

How can I best describe this book? I started reading it on a plane flying to Florida and finished it having morning coffee on the terrace overlooking Tampa Bay. What came to mind was how to best describe “unexpected”. Let me try this way: this book unfolds like a walk through the woods. Thats a bit poetic I know. Sometimes a walk like that is calm at first, then gradually it reveals something deeper and unexpectedly enlightening. It was an excellent read and more importantly it left me with a renewed focus on my business and my personal life. And actually I realized I’d practiced much of the same things. Perhaps I did so unintentionally or perhaps with intent. Regardless I’ve done things as best I could, staying true to my values, and I’m happy with the results. Still there’s more I can do and enjoy. Chris Reynolds has a tattoo that reads, “momento mori” It’s a call to action and a reminder to live in the moment. If I were to get a tattoo mine would be, “SGLY” and “vivamus”. SGLY, let us live. My reminder to be at peace and to live in the moment.

The Six Circle Strategy: The Entrepreneur’s Journey to Wealth and Freedom is a thoughtful, practical, and refreshingly balanced guide that challenges the common belief that entrepreneurial success must come at the expense of personal fulfillment. Drawing on more than three decades of experience building, acquiring, growing, and selling businesses, Chris S. Reynolds presents a framework that encourages entrepreneurs to pursue sustainable success by focusing on what truly matters.
What impressed me most was the book's emphasis on entrepreneurship as a long-term journey rather than a race toward rapid growth. Reynolds acknowledges that every entrepreneur encounters setbacks, unexpected opportunities, and changing circumstances, and instead of offering shortcuts, he provides a disciplined approach for navigating those inevitable twists with greater clarity and confidence.
I particularly appreciated the Six Circles framework, which encourages readers to establish clear priorities, strengthen self-awareness, develop meaningful client relationships, and create healthy boundaries that prevent burnout. Rather than measuring success solely through financial outcomes, Reynolds demonstrates how intentional decision-making, continuous learning, and purposeful focus contribute to building businesses that are both profitable and personally rewarding.
Another standout strength is the practical nature of the advice. The book blends entrepreneurial wisdom with real-world experience, helping readers understand how to revisit decisions, refine their skills, adapt to changing business environments, and consistently create value for both clients and themselves. Throughout the book, Reynolds reinforces that lasting success comes from serving others well while remaining aligned with one's own values and long-term vision.
Written with clarity and authenticity, The Six Circle Strategy offers much more than business advice it provides a framework for creating a business and a life that grow together rather than compete with one another.
Highly recommended for entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, financial professionals, consultants, coaches, and anyone seeking to build a successful business without sacrificing personal freedom, meaningful relationships, or long-term well-being.
