The Efficient Advisor: Tactical Business Advice for Financial Planners
Ever wish you knew an Advisor who built a 7-figure practice--while only working 3 days a week--that was willing to share her systems, processes, and business hacks with you? Meet the Efficient Advisor Podcast host Libby Greiwe. Her specialty? Breaking down the functions of a financial planning practice into actionable step-by-step processes designed to get you results and get you out of overwhelm. Expert interviews, done-for-you templates, and easy to implement solutions… all tied together by her MISSION to create ease in your business. She promises to deliver actionable step-by-step solutions you can implement right away to save time, money, and frustration. The goal--to lead you from overwhelm to efficiency. She started her own financial planning business in 2004. And, over the years she scaled into a 7-figure single-advisor firm while working only 25-hours a week so she could be super involved while raising her kiddos and loving on her hubby. She knows what it takes to build a 100% referral-only practice and to not have to GRIND out the hours to be successful. She ran her own planning business for 16 years culminating in a sale to an enterprise firm in 2019. Now, she’s simply just obsessed with helping other amazing advisors do the same thing. So if you’re an advisor who’s got the hang of planning and is now looking to grow to that first 500k of take-home pay… you are in the right place!

377: The CEO Day Mistake Most Advisors Make
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As the end of the quarter approaches and the halfway point of the year comes into focus, many advisors are planning CEO Days to step back and think strategically about their businesses. But before you jump into goal-setting, planning, and big-picture thinking, there’s one important step that can dramatically improve the quality of your strategic work. In this episode, Libby shares why an Admin Day—or at least a few dedicated admin hours—should come before every CEO Day and how clearing mental clutter creates the space for better decisions, deeper thinking, and more productive strategy sessions.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why an Admin Day is the prerequisite to an effective CEO Day
- How physical and digital clutter impacts your ability to think strategically
- Why working through lingering tasks often uncovers the biggest opportunities for improvement in your business
- A simple process for clearing the runway so you can maximize your CEO time
Strategic thinking requires space, focus, and clarity—and those things are hard to access when your brain is juggling unfinished tasks and mental to-do lists. Before your next CEO Day, give yourself permission to spend some time clearing the decks first. You may be surprised how much more productive, insightful, and valuable your strategic planning becomes when you remove the noise and create room to think like a CEO.
