#108 Looking for some bucket list things to do including fall trips? You're in the right place.  In this episode of The Everyday Bucket List podcast, we'll discuss some budget-friendly bucket list ideas! We talk about fun & affordable, bucket list things to do in autumn, including fall trips. We have a wide range of activities at varying price points, so there is something for everyone if you're just looking to squeeze something simple into everyday life, or you're hoping to get away for less.   As autumn sweeps in with its vibrant colors and crisp air, it often feels like the season is slipping away too quickly, leaving us caught up in our busy lives. Before we know it, the leaves have fallen and the opportunity to enjoy cozy afternoons and seasonal adventures has passed us by.  The fleeting beauty of this time can feel overwhelming, making us rush from one obligation to the next without truly savoring the moment. To reclaim the magic of fall, consider planning simple ideas or take a fall trip. Soak in the sights and sounds of the season and create lasting memories. Taking that time to step away from your routine can help you fully appreciate the beauty of autumn before it's gone.  You can make a simple dessert dip to enjoy. Also, gather friends for a fun pumpkin painting session or cozy up with a good book while exploring budget-friendly travel options.

Kelly ordered a Nuno car seat for the new babe, grabbed a Little Tikes swing to make outdoor time better for everyone, and can't wait for the Extreme Animal Rumble to arrive for Pocket Geniuses-loving- George. Tune in to hear her super helpful color scheme advice for kids clothes to save stress on your next three transactions, too.  In George's industry news Kelly and Lizz cover the shocking range of animal gestation periods.

After 14 years of owning and operating an Allstate Insurance agency, Rusty shares the details of selling the business, which was bittersweet, but allowed him to focus on growing the pest business. He also touches on developing new leaders in the organization, utilizing the company's Development Program. Is the program perfect? No. However, it helped to provide a framework for some key people who had a desire to grow professionally within the organization. There was also a big focus on taking the inside sales model to the next level by making it a focus to get better.  Additionally, Rusty touches on collection improvements, lead management, specialization in sales verses service roles, and engaging the outside sales team with bi-weekly book club calls and training.

With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Show Notes: Did you know we have an active book club in my Level Up Mastermind? It's true - we do! One of our amazing members - Millie Blackwell of Mrs. Blackwell's Village Bookshop - curates an incredible list of books for our Mastermind members and leads our book club each month. Today on the podcast, Millie and I are having a fun time reviewing the books we read so far this year, complete with star ratings!   Don't miss the first episode Millie and I recorded together. Bonus points for whoever knows which of the books we review today Millie called out as a favorite in Episode 132. It's linked below!   A quick reminder - before you shop the big guys for you reading and listening think local retail first.    How to support your local booksellers: 1. Shop in store! This is the very best way for your local booksellers to help you find exactly what you are looking for - and maybe even a little more! 2. Shop your local bookstore's website or through bookshop.org . Bookshop.org is an amazing alternative to shopping on Amazon. You can choose which shop you want your purchase to support. Use bookshop.org if your favorite local bookstore doesn't have their own website. 3. Purchase audiobooks through Libro.fm. Libro.fm is an alternative to Audible.   New Zealand followers, you can shop directly with Millie HERE.    The Books:   Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create, and Lead by Tara Mohr (2014)   Our thoughts/themes/takeaways: To us, this book was all about overcoming your inner critic and self doubt.   Millie shared this quote: “Feedback can only tell you something about the person giving you the feedback.  It can't tell you anything essential about yourself.” - Tara Mohr   I loved this one: “I wrote this book because I'm tired of meeting women who have important messages to share but whose self-doubt is keeping them quiet. I'm tired of encountering woman after woman diluted by the myth that she needs to be MORE of something: more qualified, more prepared… than she already is in order to share her ideas.” - Tara Mohr    Millie & Wendy's Star Rating: 3.5 / 5 stars - We both loved the book but the themes have been exhausted over the past 9 years.Therefore, it didn't hit home as much as it would have had the book been read back when it was written in 2014.   Get Different: Marketing That Can't Be Ignored by Mike Michalowicz (2021)   Our thoughts/themes/takeaways: Following your industry's “best practice” marketing creates white noise. If everyone else is doing it, your business won't stand out. We have to differentiate our marketing to stand out from the competition.   Millie and Wendy's Star Rating: 4.5 / 5 stars - Millie loved this one so much that she listened to the audio and then bought the book to highlight and refer back. We both liked that this book had practical, actionable marketing ideas for small business owners.   I'll Be Back: How to Get Customers to Come Back Again and Again by Shep Hyken (2021)   Our thoughts/themes/takeaways: Customer loyalty is not about a lifetime, it's about the next time every time. Hyken talks about marketing for loyalty vs. loyalty programs: We need our customers to want to choose us. We need to have our team on board with knowing why we can't just be mediocre.   Millie & Wendy's Star Rating - 4 / 5 stars: Shep knows his audience (busy shop owners) and caters to them: this book is easy to read and has great chapter summaries.   I interviewed Shep Hyken back in Episode 118.   Perennial Seller: The Art of Making and Marketing Work That Lasts by Ryan Holiday (2017)   Our thoughts/themes/takeaways: We need to always be looking outside of our own industry for inspiration. Another takeaway that got us thinking was Holiday's idea of relationships as a platform that needs to be nurtured.    Millie & Wendy's Star Rating - 4.5 / 5 stars: Lots of the ideas in this book were new ones that we hadn't heard before.    4000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman (2021)   Our thoughts/themes/takeaways: If you live to the age of 80, you will live for 4000 weeks which, according to Millie is “terrifyingly and insultingly short.” This “time reminder” (not time management) book is all about embracing that limit and realizing we will never get everything done in our lives that we want to get done. We need to be intentional about what is important to us including rest and recovery.   Millie's Star Rating - 5 / 5 stars: Millie reminds US readers to not judge this book by its cover. Wendy's Star Rating - 4.75 / 5 stars: I would give the audiobook 5 / 5, but found the paperback harder to pick up.   How to Grow Your Small Business by Donald Miller (2023)   Our thoughts/themes/takeaways: This one is textbook-like, specific, all-action: A great how-to guide for someone who wants to start a small business. Miller uses an airplane analogy to break a business down into 6 parts which when we discussed in the mastermind, many had strong feelings.   Millie and Wendy's Star Rating: 4 / 5 - Neither of us were in the space of needing a book like this at the time we read it, but it is great if it is the type of business book you are looking for.   Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown (2014)   Our thoughts/themes/takeaways: Millie loved the chapter on sleep and buffering: creating buffers in our lives to relieve stress. My big takeaway was the reminder that there are trade-offs with every decision and you have to be disciplined with decision making.   “Simplify, eliminate, reduce. Do less but better.” - Greg McKeown   About Millie and Mrs. Blackwell's Village Bookshop: Mrs. Blackwell is a specialist in non-fiction categories and stationery. She grew up on an apricot orchard in Central Otago but never really cared for the taste of the fruit. Mrs. Blackwell's Village Bookshop is an independent bookshop for inquisitive minds and romantic souls in Greytown, New Zealand.

SUPPORT MY WORK through Patreon!Looking for the best book club books for a thought-provoking chat? These book club picks are page-turners curated by historical fiction writer Meagan Church.  Mark Twain once said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Meagan Church is here to explore those exact rhythms in her stunning debut,  The Last Carolina Girl, published by Sourcebooks this week. This captivating coming-of-age story set in 1935 North Carolina follows the story of Leah, an orphan sent to live with the wealthy Griffin family, where she experiences mistreatment and hardship. Against the backdrop of North Carolina's eugenics board, the novel delves into themes of poverty, power, and body autonomy. It's a must-read for historical fiction fans looking for a book that will leave them thinking long after they've turned the last page.Meagan's heart-wrenching novel was inspired by the real-life story of her great-aunt, who was forcibly sterilized in Indiana. Through her book, Meagan shares the research she uncovered into the United States' history with eugenics, shedding light on a complex and difficult topic with a rich history in North Carolina. Reading this book will be incredibly eye-opening for many readers- it certainly was for me.In addition to discussing her writing process, Meagan shares her top book club picks for the best conversation starters on the podcast. Thanks to the support of Patreon members, listeners have access to a bonus curated list of 13 of the best books to spark a great conversation with the titles she highly recommends for impactful conversations. We discuss what makes a good book for discussion and curate the perfect book club selections, including our favorite books from many voices in literary fiction, nonfiction, and historical fiction. Meagan Church is a writer passionate about uncovering overlooked stories and bringing unheard voices to light. Her writing reflects her desire to explore the nuances of who we are and to chronicle the plight and fight of those silenced by history. She received a B.A. in English from Indiana University and has built a successful career as a storyteller and freelance writer for brands, blogs, and organizations. She currently lives in North Carolina with her family.Mentioned in this episode:Joining the Patreon community is an affordable way to support the show and gain access to a wealth of resources, including author interviews and curated book lists.
