Description

Every investor has felt it.

The panic.

The urge to act.

The voice in your head saying: “Just get me out.”

This is The Big Mistake.

And if you’re not careful, it can undo years of thoughtful planning.

In this video, I share the story behind one of my favorite sketches: The Big Mistake.

This sketch and essay are #54 of 101 in my new book, Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in 101 Simple Sketches.
