This week we are kicking off a podcast series! As you may or may not know, I have a framework that I’ve developed over the last nearly two decades in this business that I use to help advisors streamline their businesses. I call it the Systems to Scale Framework™ . Essentially, I’ve taken all the big processes and micro processes and have organized them for you! This is the framework that we work off of for our group coaching program… which kicks off January 9th, 2025, and the signups for that start THIS WEEK!
Essentially, there are 6 layers that these processes fall into, so I think of it like a cake. Each layer has its own ingredients and when you add all the right ingredients in the right order, layer after layer, you end up with a super sweet delicious business—and a life that you love.
Over the next 6 weeks together we’re going to dive into each of these 6 levels. There are: Define, Create, Attract, Systematize, Scale, and Lead. Each week we’ll walk through the layer, and what’s involved, I’ll give you a roadmap to build out that level.
In today’s episode, I describe each of the 6 levels of the System to Scale Framework™ and we’ll dive right into the first level… DEFINE. Throughout this series, I’m throwing a bunch of resources, guides, templates, etc at you! These are some awesome resources to help you build out each of these levels in your business.

Today, we’re diving into an easy, powerful, but often overlooked way to elevate your client relationships and set the tone for a successful new year—the New Year’s letter.
Really, Libby? A letter is going to make a difference?
ABSOLUTELY, but the catch is you have to include the right things.
It’s easy for clients to lose sight of all the work you do behind the scenes, but a well-crafted New Year’s letter can change that. In this episode, I’ll guide you through exactly what to include in a letter that not only recaps the services and support you provided over the past year, but also shows clients the value you bring to their lives.
Plus, we’ll cover how to preview upcoming changes and improvements in a way that builds excitement and trust. We want your clients to ooze with appreciation over 2025 and excitement for working with you in 2025!
In this episode we’ll cover:
Ready to take your client communications to the next level? I’ll share tips and resources to help you craft a New Year’s letter that’s personalized, impactful, and memorable.

When I was running my practice, I dreamed of having a tax professional who would do actual tax strategy. Like WAY MORE than just getting behind my Roth conversions or more traditional ideas like QCDs, but someone that could actually sit down with my clients and tell them if they should buy their car through their business, tell them what type of entity they should be, help my boring W-2 clients find clever ways to strategize to save tax dollars well in advance of tax season, figure out a way for them to deduct their Starbucks obsession (and she shares this story in this episode), or if doing an AirBnB makes sense for their lake house… you know what I’m talking about a TAX STRATEGIST… not just a CPA.
Enter, Shauna the Tax Goddess. Yes, that’s the name of her company and she’s known as the Tax Goddess because she is one of the most highly credentialed tax strategists in the United States.
In this episode, Shauna gives us a glimpse into the world of tax strategy and how they help advisors’ clients get creative and save boatloads of tax dollars without getting into the gray area of the tax code.
We get into:

We’ve all had that day that you were SO BUSY, but at the end of the day looked back and realized that you didn’t actually do or complete any of the major things you needed to do. YET, you felt slammed all day!
So here’s the questions we’re going to seek answers to today…
I mention it all the time–that to scale your business you have got to scale yourself first…. These are the questions I hear from advisors in our coaching and these are certain questions I had for myself that I had to test, try, tweak, and seek out answers to for myself in my own business.
In today’s episode, I am going to share EIGHT tips & tricks I uncovered over my nearly 2 decades in the business that worked for me when it came to actually getting done what I was supposed to… when I was supposed to do it.
This includes a rapid-fire power hour, iron butt time, and the Pomodoro method. Intrigued? Let's go…

Most advisors treat college planning as a straightforward math problem: calculate tuition, project savings, and move on. However, the reality is that *real* college funding planning is much more complex, and those advisors who recognize this complexity stand out in their field.
In this episode we’ll share insights on:

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.
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 podcast Libby will cover:
And, of course, I give you my template so that you can build your own model week! My goal is to help you not have to recreate the wheel… so use mine!
