129: How to NEVER make a bad investment again

The Truth About Investing: Why Trusting Your Gut and Doing More Research Won’t Work

Hi, I’m Christopher Nelson. After growing my portfolio to over $8 million while living off the cash flow, I’m here to share the real truth about investing—and why the advice to “trust your gut” and “do more research” is actually holding you back from success.

In this video, I’ll debunk the biggest investment myths that keep high earners stuck in a cycle of bad decisions. You’ll learn why trusting your instincts can lead to major losses, and why doing endless research doesn’t always bring better results.

I’ll also introduce the decision-making framework that ultra-wealthy family offices use to make smart, emotion-free investment choices. This includes two key documents—the Legacy Statement and the Investment Thesis—that guide every investment decision. Once you have these, your decisions will be clear and confident.

Ready to stop making emotional investment choices and start making strategic, profitable decisions? Join my live Architect Workshop, where I’ll walk you through creating your own Legacy Statement and Investment Thesis. This is the exact process I used to build my $8 million portfolio.
