Whether you're a venture capitalist betting on startups, a retail investor trading stocks, a landlord scaling rental properties, or a crypto degen chasing the next moonshot, the game may look different, but the outcome often rhymes.

Some people think the reason investors fail is a lack of patience.
Others say it’s bad timing, poor discipline, or not enough information.

Those all play a role — but they’re symptoms, not the root.

❗Across every asset class, the #1 reason investors fail is:

👉 They misjudge risk.

That’s it. Not bad luck. Not bad timing. Not even a bad strategy.
