Overview

This video explains how a potential market crash in 2025 or 2026 can be an opportunity to build wealth, rather than a cause for panic. The speaker outlines five strategies to capitalize on market downturns, emphasizing a long-term perspective and disciplined investment.

Key takeaways

• Market Downturns as Opportunities: Crashes are when wealth transfers from emotional investors to patient ones, and are the ideal time to accumulate assets at lower prices.
• DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging): Consistently invest during market drops, and even consider doubling down when assets decrease by 1% or more, as historical data shows markets recover and surpass previous highs.
• Build a Cash Flow Business: During a crash, people tighten spending, but income is crucial. Starting a business, especially an online service-based one, provides income to continue investing in assets while they are cheap.
• Increase Income: Focus on increasing income through asking for a raise at your current job or developing side hustles. Extra income during a crash can be strategically invested and grow significantly over time.
• Stay Liquid: Maintain an emergency fund (3-6 months of expenses) to avoid being forced to sell investments at a loss to cover bills. Cash is king during a downturn, enabling opportunistic investments.
• Level Up Your Skill Set: Use market downturns to invest in yourself by learning valuable skills (sales, marketing, coding, etc.) that directly translate to increased income and have infinite ROI.
• Mindset Matters: Understand that being in the red on paper is not losing money until assets are sold. Focus on the trajectory of your net worth, not the current number, and separate emotions from financial decisions.
