👇 Most people are preparing for the wrong financial crisis. Hi, I'm Nicole Victoria. I grew up broke, became a millionaire by 30, and have built an 8 figure net worth with over $7 million invested in the stock market. One question I've been getting over and over is, "Are we headed for another 2008?" Maybe. But here's the mistake I see people make... They're preparing for the last crisis instead of the next one. Every financial crisis is different. The cause is different. The warning signs are different. The assets that get hit the hardest are different. If you're waiting for history to repeat itself exactly, you might miss what's actually happening in front of you. The goal isn't to predict the next crisis. The goal is to build a portfolio that can withstand uncertainty, no matter what the headlines say. That's how I've invested through uncertainty, and it's the same strategy I teach the women I work with every single day. If you're ready to stop reacting to the news and start investing with confidence, apply to work with me and my team through the link in my bio. Let's build a strategy that works no matter what the future looks like.

Transcript

The internet says the financial system is about to collapse. But the real question isn't whether they're right. It's if they were, would you actually know what to do with your money so that you could make a lot of it? I'm giving you my take as somebody with an eight-figure net worth who has made multiple millions of dollars by investing while other people were scared. Part one, we talked about the US debt spiral. In part two, we talked about money printing and why I don't panic every time somebody on TikTok is saying sell all your stock. The final one, and this is a big one. People are saying that we are headed for another 2008. That was a horrible time. Hands down. Could we have another financial crisis? Absolutely. Will it look exactly like 2008? I doubt it. And the biggest mistake that people make here is preparing for the last financial crisis instead of the next one. It's kind of like saying, well, my kitchen caught fire once, so I'm just going to flood my entire house just in case. You are solving for the wrong problem. Every crisis is different. Covid wasn't in 2008. Inflation wasn't in 2008. The tariffs weren't in 2008. And whatever happens next, probably won't be either. Where people screw themselves is they say, well, I'll just sell everything before the crash. Okay, when? Seriously, when? Tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Next year? Seriously, like, when do you sell? But the even harder question is, when are you buying back in? Because you have to be right two times to actually make money. And most people will end up missing the run back up because they're too scared because they don't have a plan. And that's why the average investor underperforms the market every single year, not because they're stupid, but because emotions are expensive. So what do I do? I don't try to predict every crash. But I do build a portfolio that's designed to outlast it, to make money no matter what the market actually does. I survived crashes and then I get richer. I stayed diversified. I managed my risk. I keep enough safe money so that if the market falls by 20% or 40% or 43%, I'm not forced to sell at a loss. And in fact, that's actually when I'm looking to buy a lot more. Because every major crash in history eventually recovers. The 12-month return after a bear market, which is a drop of 20% or more, is like 43%. You can make 43% on your money in a single year. I made millions of dollars last year after the tariffs. The people who build generational wealth generally aren't the people who are predicting the crash. They're the ones who had the confidence, the strategy, and the cash to invest while everybody else was panicking. And that's exactly what I teach, okay? I don't teach people how to buy hot stocks to catch full balls. I don't teach get rich quick bullshit. I teach ordinary people how to build wealth with a proven strategy. I teach you how to manage risk like wealthy investors do. And I also teach you exactly what to do when everyone else is freaking out. Remember, the goal isn't to predict the future, it's to be prepared for it.
