Episode notes
Built A Seven-Figure Part-Time Practice
- Libby built a seven-figure advisory practice while working three days a week by designing systems that protected her time.
- She prioritized client experience and intentional schedule design over hustle culture.
Yes Person Opened Doors Early
- Libby was a natural 'yes' person and Enneagram Seven who embraced opportunities without shame or embarrassment.
- That trait opened doors but later required filters and boundaries to avoid overcommitment.
Use A 'Year Of No' As A Filter
- Try a deliberate 'year of no' to discover which activities truly matter and which are ego or social obligations.
- Pause before saying yes and ask if it's a 'hell yes' that aligns with your values and highest use of time.
