Presented by Joe Messinger, CFP® and Heather Jarvis, J.D.
If you’re serving Gen X or Gen Y clients, college planning is key. The sticker price for a college education is now between $100,000-$320,000 per student – if you graduate in four years.
So, what are we as financial planners doing to help our clients? Gen X and Gen Y families need help reducing the cost of college and navigating loan repayment, both for their kids and for themselves. Most advisors aren’t prepared to answer their questions and serve them effectively. Are you?
Your ideal clients need you to be informed about financial aid and student loans. They’re looking for answers. We have them. Join the profession’s leading experts on college funding and student loans to learn how you can attract and serve ideal clients by addressing their biggest financial concerns!
This full-day workshop aims to give you the knowledge and tools you need to help clients navigate the college funding investment. Via a full day of in-person training and discussion, Joe and Heather will give you the technical college-planning and loan-repayment skills, as well as practice-management resources and hacks you need, to serve Gen X and Y.
Are you ready to join us this fall?

As a financial advisor himself, Joe is dedicated to spreading the message of College Pre-Approval™ through speaking engagements, webinars, and presentations.
×Heather Jarvis graduated from Duke University School of Law cum laude owing $125,000 in student loans and facing 30-years’ worth of $1,200 monthly payments. No one ever told Heather that she couldn’t afford to go to Duke, even though, um, she couldn’t. Her mother was a modestly paid executive assistant and her father a mostly unemployed Shakespearean actor.
Heather didn’t realize she couldn’t afford an expensive education until after she got one.
Duke Law’s generous loan repayment assistance program made it possible for Heather to eschew the money without defaulting on her student loans (Go Devils!). She will always be grateful that Duke enabled her to continue ignoring her own financial security in pursuit of her irresistible urge to stand up for people in trouble.
Widely recognized by school professionals and media representatives as an expert source of information, Heather has trained thousands of students and professionals and is sought after for her sophisticated legal knowledge and accessible teaching style.

Presented by Jerry Kauffman, Certified EOS Implementer and Arlene Moss, Executive Business Coach
At XY Planning Network, we built our business using the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). The EOS system gave us a toolkit, quarterly cadence, and common language to run our business.
In this interactive workshop, XYPN’s Certified EOS Implementer, Jerry Kauffman, will provide an overview of the EOS model and the tools you need to apply it to your firm. Arlene Moss, XYPN’s Executive Business Coach, will join Jerry to share her insight from working with and coaching XYPN members who have implemented EOS.
For the solopreneur, sessions will help you build a foundation for growth, and if your firm has multiple teammates, they will include a number of interactive activities to work with your team to begin to apply EOS concepts and tools.
You’ll leave with an understanding of how EOS tools can be directly applied to your firm for immediate benefit and impact, and will learn to look at your business in a whole new way. Join us in Denver this fall and see how the EOS system can help you solve issues, increase accountability, and gain Traction®!
