The Efficient Advisor: Tactical Business Advice for Financial Planners
012: Design Your Perfect Schedule To Get It All Done in Less Time
<p>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! </p>
Show Notes
The number one question I got from advisors for YEARS and still get today, is "Libby, HOW DID YOU GET IT ALL DONE IN 25-HRS a week? I’m over here drowning and i’m putting in double that!"
I feel that on so many levels because that was me early on.
And the number one question I got from corporate folks is… "if you could share just ONE thing with advisors from an efficiency standpoint…. Especially advisors in those early years of their careers, what would you share?"
Luckily, the answer for both of those questions is the same thing! I get to kill two birds with one stone. But what that means, is that this is foundational to working efficiently!
In today’s episode I’m going to drill down 16+ years of compressing a billion hours a week into just 25 and what I learned about designing the perfect schedule.
This perfect schedule, or what I call a Model Week, is a schedule that you’ve designed, with intention, that suits your personality, for your business goals, with your energy levels, and your work/life balance objectives in mind.
In this episode Libby will:
Help you design a 'Model Week' that works for your business and life goals
Share tips and tricks to maximize productivity
Give examples of things that have worked and haven't worked for her and other advisors
Help you build margin and white space
Guide you in methods to figure out how to tweak your schedule until it works perfectly for YOU!
