My Favorite Things
Advisors often ask what planner I use, books I read, and other office/efficiency supplies we buy, so I thought I would put them all in one location for you!
Books I Swear By
If you've followed my journey for even a short while, you know that I am a big believer in personal development. I spend 15 minutes a day reading business and personal development books.
AND IT HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER.

The Miracle Morning
This book completely changed my morning routine. Each day I use some (not all) of the S.A.V.E.R.S. Hal teaches to set intention for my day. The impact has been huge.
Built to Sell
This is one of my favorite business books of all time. It's written more like a story to teach lessons on how creating processes and narrowing your market create a business you can remove yourself from. You can bust through this one super quick.
Tools of Titans
This.Book.Rocks. This book is so full of wisdom from business geniuses. Don't let the size intimidate you... you skip the parts that don't interest you. Written in mini 2-3 page chapters. Easy to tackle.
Building a Story Brand
Amazing Read! This is a very fun to read book that challenges you to simplify and clarify your message. Less is more! He gives you a framework to build your brand story off of.
Rocket Fuel
Perfect read for Advisors who are building a team and need a crucial role to facilitate operations. It's written for ADHD entrepreneurs (like me!) so it's quick and to the point.
5 Second Rule
This is a fantastic read to push you past any fears and to just "do the thing." This book helped me create a ton of momentum in different areas of my life.
Slight Edge
I really should re-read this every January. This book is a great example of how doing a little bit of something every day (or not doing something) makes progress. I love this book. We often give this as a gift at our live workshops.
E myth
This is one of the first business books I ever read -- recommended to me by a top advisor at my firm. A must read for ALL entrepreneurs. Easy read with practice advice for thinking about building a business with repeatable systems and processes. It's a classic business book.
Eat That Frog
If you struggle with procrastination, this is an ideal read! It helps you prioritize your To Do list and to minimize distractions. Super fast read.
The Experience Economy.
This book should be THE BASIS for your Client Experience model. We live an an environment where experience is the core of being referable. Basing your customer service on experience is the CRUX of becoming a 100% referarl-only practice.
Never Split the Difference
Game changer. This book is easily now in my Top Favorite 5 Business Books of all time. I love practical, tactical advice that can be used DAILY. This is a must read for any human.

Office Supplies I Use
"What's that candle you burn in your office that clients go nuts over?"
"What headset do you use?"
"What are the inexpensive products you mentioned to do high quality social media video?"
I get asked all the time what we use for this and that, so here's a list. I like to price shop and compare so these are products that my team loves and uses and are good prices.
Extensive list of items coming soon.
Best Self Co. Planner
This is the planner I use errrry day. This thing ties perfectly into my 30, 60, 90 Day Action Plan and keeps momentum in my business strong! Check out the video I made on how i use it.
Seda France Candle
This candle (Japanese Quince scent) smells amazing. WE use this in the lobby of our office and our clients compliment it all the time. Burns forever too. Makes a great referral gift!
Headset
Tried several. This one is comfortable and great quality. We do lots of meetings over the phone and it's nice to be able to walk around, make coffee, and maybe do a few squats. ;)
Birthday Post Cards
We still like to send old fashion cards to our top clients with a handwritten message. Post cards save on both cost and postage.
Social Media Kit
Ready to shoot your own promotional or social media videos? This is the kit I use to create professional lighting and setup on the cheap. You'll want to pair with the mic I suggest here too.
Mic For Social Media Kit
This mic has a crazy long cord and amazing quality. This allows you to stand any distance from the camera and get amazing sound quality.

If you like super applicable devotionals tied to both real life and the Bible... and you're a working woman or NOT... this is a fabulous collection of 100 daily devotionals.

For the Ladies - this book is a very funny look at life, marriage, parenting, friendship, and faith. I laughed and cried while reading it and would recommend it to ANY and EVERY woman!
