I'm a personal development junkie. Conferences, books, podcasts, you name it I love it. This past weekend, I attended RISE Business, Rachel Hollis's conference for entrepreneurs, business owners, those wanting to start a business, executives, etc. I mean you name it that person was there.

There might be another two months left of 2019 but I wanted to start thinking NOW of how I can best serve my community and customers aka all of you. My wheels have not stopped spinning as I dream of how I will grow my Squad Insider's, my boutique and our farm. Yes, at the conference I introduced myself as the farm girl that really likes lipstick and jewelry, and has a podcast.

For three days Rachel and her squad pulled back the curtain on their lives, struggles and knowledge. The squad is pretty impressed. We are talking Marie Forleo, Trent Shelton, Brendon Bouchard, Amy Porterfield, Chris Hogan, the list went on. Every person that walked across the stage had their own book or podcast, but Rachel also share a list of books that has made the biggest impact on her life.

Rachel's Suggestions I've Read

5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins: If you are needing a mindset shift or a way to motivate yourself this is an awesome book. If you aren't a big reader you can get a great overview in Mel's Ted Talk.

The One Thing by Gary Keller: This is a great book that I've read parts of multiple times. I've loved sharing content around "the one thing" with my team.

High Performance Habits by Brendon Bouchard: Brendon was my favorite speaker at the conference. He spent $1 million on research through two universities to identify the habits that highly successful people across the world utilize.

Rachel's Suggestions that my Husband Jon Has Read

Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike: This tells the story of the early days of Nike and how the company almost didn't survive.

Jab, Jab, Right Hook by Gary Vee: If you are trying to figure out how to tell your story and develop your marketing this is the book for you.

Everything Else She Thinks You Should Read

The E Myth Revisited Michael Gerber
Excellence Wins by Horst Shultz
Doing the Right Thing by Scott Rae
Barking Up the Wrong Tree by Eric Barker
Multipliers by Liz Wiseman
Ulimate Sales Machine by Chey Holtz
The Power of Habit by Chales Duhigg
Building a Story Brand by Donald Miller

To make life easy I put together a list on Amazon. #clickaddtocart

If you already have some of these scratched off your list I would love to hear your feedback. You can also subscribe to my weekly newsletter and podcast where you can bet I'll be sharing more about the conference.
