About this user
Louis Barajas is a premier example of the American dream. Born in East Los Angeles and the son of Mexican immigrants, Louis began his financial and small business experience in his teens by helping his father and mother with their wrought iron business. He graduated from UCLA in 1984, received his MBA from Claremont Graduate School in 1987, and attained a Certified Financial Planner designation from the Denver College of Financial Planning in 1990. After some personal life changing events and years of experience at major accounting and financial planning firms in Southern California, Louis left the yacht and Mercedes crowd of Newport Beach, California and returned to his community in 1991 to form his own wealth planning firm. Louis wished to make a difference with the kind of people he grew up with hard-working men and women who, because of a lack of information or understanding, often made bad financial choices that kept them from achieving the success, security, and significance they deserved.
In his books, such as The Latino Journey to Financial Greatness; Small Business, Big Life; Overworked, Overwhelmed & Underpaid, Louis makes the complex and overwhelming world of finances and small business entertaining and comprehensible. He teaches people at every economic level the practical and powerful financial and business strategies to achieve Financial Greatness™.
