Humble Beginnings Shape
a Tenacious Spirit

He started working young, selling coconuts and jumping from job to job after layoffs, surviving on minimal savings.

It was a challenging start, but those early experiences shaped his tenacious spirit and gave him first hand understanding of money management.

Now, Ernest leverages those lessons learned from his money mentors to help families build strong financial foundations. Though he didn’t come from wealth, through diligence and determination he forged his own path.

Join Ernest’s journey and discover how he took the wisdom gained from humble roots to motivate and empower families towards financial freedom.

A Calling to Transform Lives
Through Financial Parenting

After mentoring adults, Ernest noticed they often mirrored their parents’ money management methods. It dawned on him – with fragile economies and rising expenses, families needed a new financial parenting approach.

Ernest realized that to create lasting change, you have to start with the next generation. If taught healthy financial skills early on, children could have an immense head start.

With this calling, Jopez Academy was born – Ernest’s passion project to equip children with essential money management skills through empowering parents.

Turning Vision Into Reality

Ernest was determined to put his vision for financial parenting into action. He developed the Millionaire Action Plan (MAP) – a step-by-step program designed to equip parents with tools to teach kids healthy money habits.

This system reflects the principles that allowed Ernest to achieve his own financial goals and become a self-made millionaire. But his vision went beyond his own success – it was about helping families develop strong financial foundations.

So he expanded the program as a core offering at Jopez Academy, making this proven approach accessible to parents from all walks of life through engaging online lessons, coaching and community.

The same system that changed Ernest’s future can now empower your children, setting your family up for generational success. Start this lifelong impact early.

Relentless Innovation to
Empower Families

As a determined financial expert, Ernest continuously develops new solutions to address families’ evolving needs. His journey has allowed him to explore diverse methods for achieving multi-generational financial success.

This drive to innovate enables Jopez Academy to stay at the cutting edge of financial parenting education. While rooted in proven principles, Ernest constantly improves the curriculum to make it more engaging, effective and accessible.

He knows every family’s financial journey is unique. By relentlessly enhancing the program, he aims to provide tailored guidance so more parents can raise financially-literate children.

Even today, Ernest’s vision continues to grow. He is dedicated to creatively reaching and empowering families worldwide with the financial skills to thrive.
