SPP’s Sunday Top 10 – Best Picks for Practice Owners (Dubai Chocolate!!)
One of the great things about running our 1F and Streamline peer groups for practice owners is that we get to hear about all the best resources first.
Here’s this week’s top 10 picks to run a better practice, do better self-care, etc., along with some commentary on where they’re fitting into my world. 🙂
First and foremost, I’m SO EXCITED for the new profitability workbook from Julie Herres, founder of Green Oak Accounting. Pre-orders are live and it’ll be shipping somewhere around the end of October. Get yours before they sell out!

If you haven’t stumbled into the Dubai chocolate craze yet, here’s your intro. It’s dark chocolate, pistachio cream, etc. They’re amazing and worth every penny. These will make amazing holiday gifts for staff, referral sources, etc.
- ✔️ A Luxurious Middle Eastern Delight – A sophisticated blend of creamy milk chocolate, crispy kadayif phyllo, and rich tahini, delivering an authentic Dubai-inspired indulgence.
- ✔️ Golden Kadayif Crunch – Delicate strands of hand-spun phyllo lightly toasted for a satisfying crisp, creating a unique texture that melts in your mouth.
- ✔️ Silky Tahini Infusion – A smooth, nutty sesame essence that enhances the chocolate's creaminess with a rich and velvety depth.
- ✔️ Hand-Harvested Pistachios – Sourced from the finest Turkish groves, bold, buttery pistachios add a touch of elegance and crunch to every bite.
- ✔️ Imported from Turkey – Crafted for the Connoisseur – Made with the highest-quality ingredients, this 7 oz artisanal chocolate bar brings you an authentic taste of the Middle East, perfect for gifting or self-indulgence.
Chicken soup for my entrepreneurial soul. Someone gave me a copy of this recently and I’ve devoured the 3-4 page explorations of words we take for granted, like “ambition.” Also a great holiday gift for leaders and loved ones.
