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!

382: How to Maximize the Tools You're Already Paying For
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, I'm joined once again by Adam Holt, founder of Asset-Map, for a conversation every advisor needs to hear. We dive into one of the biggest challenges facing advisory firms today: technology adoption. It's easy to get excited about a new tool, but it's much harder to fully integrate it into your business and unlock its true value. We talk about why so many advisors end up underutilizing the software they already own, how successful firms approach implementation differently, and what it really takes to become a student of the tools that can help you scale.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why buying a tool is only the first investment—and why the real ROI comes from the time and energy spent learning how to use it effectively
- How top-performing advisors avoid "just-in-time learning" and instead create intentional systems for training, adoption, and ongoing mastery
- The role advisors should continue to play in fact-finding conversations, even when they delegate data entry and planning support to their team
- A practical framework for evaluating your technology stack during CEO time, including how to identify underutilized tools, eliminate unnecessary complexity, and maximize the value of what you already have
Whether you're considering a new piece of technology or wondering if you're getting enough value from the tools you already pay for, this episode will challenge you to think differently about implementation. The advisors who get the biggest results aren't necessarily using the most tools—they're becoming experts at the right ones.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by technology or frustrated by software adoption, this conversation will help you build a more intentional approach to your tech stack and your business.
