The Efficient Advisor: Tactical Business Advice for Financial Planners
408: How to Build Your Personal Board of Directors (And Who Needs a Seat)
<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
What if you had your own personal board of directors—not for your business, but for you? A carefully chosen group of people who challenge you, encourage you, open doors, tell you the truth, and help you become the person you need to be for whatever you’re building next.
In this episode, I’m joined by Eric Negron to break down exactly how to build your own personal board of directors. Eric shares the six key seats he believes we all need around our table, how to identify the right people to fill them, and how to intentionally cultivate those relationships over time. We also talk about why your board shouldn’t just be an echo chamber of people telling you what you want to hear—and why investing in yourself as a leader can have a direct impact on your business, your goals, and your life.
In this episode you will learn:
The six key seats to include on your personal board of directors.
How to identify the right people to fill each role.
Why your board needs people who will challenge you and tell you the truth.
How to intentionally maintain and reevaluate your board as your goals evolve.
You spend so much time thinking about the team you need to build around your business—but what about the people you need to build around you? This episode will give you a simple framework to take into your next CEO Day, identify the gaps around your table, and start intentionally building the personal board of directors you need for your next season of growth.
