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!

385: The Resource Organization Hack You'll Wish You Started Years Ago
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you're anything like most financial advisors, you've collected hundreds of valuable resources over the years: articles, calculators, PDFs, client-friendly graphics, and planning tools. But if they're scattered across bookmarks, downloads, and random folders, they're almost impossible to find when you actually need them.
In this episode, I share one of the simplest organizational systems I've seen for creating a searchable planning resource library, inspired by one of the incredible advisors in our Systems to Scale alumni community. This easy-to-implement idea will save you time, reduce frustration, and make it easier to deliver value to clients.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How to create a simple digital resource library that keeps your favorite planning tools, articles, calculators, and PDFs organized in one place.
- A practical folder structure you can use to organize resources by life events, planning topics, niches, and client goals.
- Why building your resource library over time is far more effective than trying to organize everything at once.
- How one advisor took a basic organizational system and transformed it into a powerful knowledge library that saves time and improves client service.
Sometimes the smallest systems create the biggest improvements in your business. A well-organized planning resource library may seem simple, but it can eliminate countless hours of searching for information and help you serve clients with greater confidence and consistency. I hope this episode inspires you to start building a system that future you will thank you for.
