Author and Certified Public Accountant to present at CPA and Tax Professional Boot-Camp


SAN ANTONIO — Author and Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to present at CPA and Tax Professional Boot-Camp at the Hilton San Antonio Airport Hotel Sept. 6-7.

Money Concepts International announces the new Transition Entry Program for CPAs and tax professionals. The program can save the tax professional $7,000 in fees and licensing expenses. The Business Transition Plan can provide them the opportunity to make financial planning and wealth management a service to their tax clients.

Nick Hodges, CPA/PFS, MBA, CFP, author of The Lazy CPA, will present on providing more efficient methods to add financial services and maintain the principles of tax practices and implementing the tax-financial services practice for profit.

Hodges will present alongside Ursula Mentjes, CEO, Ruben Ruiz, MSFS, RFC, ChFC, Ed Guerrero, CPA, William Peterman, CPA, CFP, RFC, Christopher J. Passero, CPA, MA and Alan Lockhart, CEO.

Presentations include the transition of converting clients to a fee-based asset management, advisory practice and increased revenue and family time, tax-diversification is almost non-existent for the majority of tax clients, using warm-based marketing questions to schedule financial planning meetings with tax clients and closing financial services on the first meeting with tax clients.

Hodges’ innovative strategies program includes specialized processes, management techniques, suites of services and customizable financial programs. By providing these types of strategies to clients, it allows tax professionals to not only capture all their assets but deepen their relationship with them to a point that they are their sole financial solutions provider. 

Tired of sitting by and watching his tax clients receive inadequate financial planning services from others, Hodges launched financial services at his firm in 1996. Tireless in his pursuit to find the best services for his clients, he systematically researched and perfected the best methods to add financial services.

In the midst of its implementation, his wife faced a major health crisis that required his full involvement. A dedicated family man and professional, Nick was unwilling to let the process languish while he attended to his family’s needs. Faced with significant time constraints, he was forced to establish more efficient methods that maintained his principles. The “Lazy CPA” perspective was birthed during this time of need.

After successfully weathering the family crisis while maintaining the professional load, Nick realized that he created a new approach that eliminated non-essential activities, maximized client service and generated additional revenue – all with a minimum investment of his time and energy. The result was happier clients, more family time and greater achievements. Nick now shares with other accountants what he learned through seminars and books.

He authored several books, and his next book, ‘My Financial Blueprint’, will be ready at the Boot-Camp.

One of our expert speakers, Ursula Mentjes, The Founder of Sales Coach Now as well as an inspirational speaker, author of Selling with Intention and One Great Goal and a Certified Sales Coach –  specializes in Neuro-Linguistic Programming to help clients double and triple their sales FAST. Mentjes will transform the way you think about selling so you can reach your goals with less anxiety and less effort!

Honing her skills at an international technical training company, where she began her career in 1996, Ursula increased sales by 90% in just one year! In 2001, when the company’s annual run was in the tens of millions, Ursula advanced to the position of President at just 27 years old. Sales guru Brian Tracy endorsed Selling with Intention saying, “This powerful, practical book shows you how to connect with customers by fully understanding the sales process from the inside out. It really works!”

This boot-camp is not based on get-rich-quick schemes that lead quickly to failure. It is based on tried and true wealth strategies that finance professionals have been using for years—and they have the paychecks to prove it.

Many business owners and professionals are uneducated on how to build net-worth correctly. Thus, they try to take short cuts and leave out important steps because they do not understand correctly. The majority of Americans do not know how to accumulate wealth or net-worth, because they never learned how from anyone; not their parents, grandparents, friends, co-workers, teachers, professors or anyone else on the streets.

This means that every day, people make financial decisions that are hurtful to their credit, business, income and net-worth — but worst of all — to their families. Unfortunately, most people are unaware that they are even making bad decisions. This includes people with college degrees. Even Certified Professional Accounts don’t know how to do it all!

It’s time to learn how once and for all. Yes, once and for all! We will teach you all of the steps you need to know to become wealthy. After that, you must implement the steps and you’ll be on your way to success. When you learn something important, such as wealth creation, it becomes locked in your brain. It’s like learning to ride your bike or tie your shoes for the first time. Once you learn how to do it, you don’t even have to think about it; you just do it automatically. All you need to do is initiate the right mindset.  

Building wealth is like making an Excel sheet. You can’t make one unless you have the Excel software and you know how to use it. All you need to do build wealth is input the right software in your “computer-brain” and learn how to use it. Every year, you need to do the steps we will teach you to increase your wealth and net-worth. By the same token, every year that you miss these steps can cost you a fortune, which you will never make up, unless you learn how.

This boot-camp is the result of two years of planning and preparation by expert financial consultants. Attending this workshop will be the best— and cheapest — investment you’ll ever make in your lifetime. You can make 100x or even 1000x return as long as you implement the steps we teach you.

It costs less than a college course and only takes 2 days instead of an entire semester. You can make more money with the knowledge from this boot-camp, than with a college degree. We need more financially independent Americans to move this country in the right direction. All Americans deserve to enjoy the freedom of wealth.

Seats are limited to 300 participants. Do not procrastinate to purchase your ticket, because this event will sell out quickly.

Financial Planner Teaches Latinos How to Create Wealth


Ruben Ruiz, award-winning financial strategist and author, makes it his mission to help Hispanics create wealth and become financially independent. At a time when the Hispanic community is growing fast, encouragement and support are needed more than ever.

Ruiz concentrated on the Hispanic market in the greater San Antonio area, for more than 3 decades, teaching clients how to go about establishing a sound financial foundation, then building upon it to amass wealth. Still, he saw few Hispanic millionaires compared with the much larger numbers of Anglo millionaires.

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Hispanic households have less than 10 cents for every dollar in wealth owned by White households. In fact, even the wealthiest 5% of Hispanic households have a net worth that is less than 1/2 of the net worth of comparably placed White households.

"Most Hispanics are second generation, born in the USA," Ruiz said. "If you’re not quite middle income, any discussions of money are based on being broke, being poor or it being a struggle. If we are brought up that way, that’s how we perceive wealth."

In fact, in a new National Council of La Raza report released in December 2005, almost half the national Hispanic population - about 20 million people - has not opened a basic bank account. Ruiz points to 2001 U.S. Census figures showing that a married Hispanic American family’s median income was about $40,000, while their Anglo counterpart’s annual income was about $60,000 - almost 50 percent more.

"About 98 percent of my clients are Hispanics from all different income and net worth levels,” Ruiz said. “I saw what was happening. I wanted to get the middle-income clients to quit thinking they’d reached their top goal. We have been brought up to reach Middle America and you’re set. You don’t have to think about or do anything else. You have arrived. And that’s not true.

“I wanted to motivate them to go to the next level," Ruiz said. “The aim of my services is to encourage Latinos to be financially independent and to realize that wealth is attainable for everyone with the right planning. What Latinos need and want more passionately than anything else for building wealth is a structured plan.”

Anyone can become wealthy, if they know the steps they need to take to effectively increase their net worth, and to find someone able to teach these steps. There are no real ethnic or cultural barriers to financial success, only those you create yourself or allow others to create for you. You can learn how to become wealthy and create your own blueprint. But you must always remember: “The final discrimination fight will be with your own mindset.”
