What if I told you that a $1.5M portfolio could generate $120K a year in income… pay less than $10K in taxes… and never require you to sell a single asset?

In this video, I break down the exact Evergreen Portfolio model I personally use to generate over $200,000 per year in portfolio cash flow—without withdrawals, without relying on the stock market, and without slowly draining my net worth over time.

Most high earners and tech professionals are stuck in the traditional “grow and drawdown” retirement model. Your financial advisor builds a big nest egg… then you spend the next 30 years selling pieces of it just to live. It exposes you to sequence-of-returns risk, high taxes, and the real possibility of running out of money.

That’s not how ultra-wealthy families manage their wealth.

In this 16-minute breakdown, I’ll show you how to build what I call an Evergreen Portfolio—a wealth system designed to generate monthly income while your principal continues to grow. You’ll learn the same asset allocation principles used by TIGER 21 members and $20M+ family offices, adapted for individuals with $1M to $30M in assets.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• The failure points of the traditional 4% withdrawal model

• How sequence-of-returns risk quietly destroys retirements

• Why portfolios built only on stocks, index funds, and bonds underperform

• The three Evergreen asset categories: Income, Growth, and Capital Preservation

• How to target 6%–12% annual yields with the right income assets

• How tax optimization can add 2%–3% in returns every year

• The four pillars of an Evergreen portfolio: selection, tax planning, risk management, and operational cadence

• A real allocation example of a $1.5M Evergreen Portfolio producing $143,000 in annual income

• How to start transitioning your own portfolio in a tax-efficient way

• The mindset shift from being a portfolio “consumer” to becoming the CEO of your wealth

If you’ve built a seven- or eight-figure net worth but your portfolio isn’t giving you the freedom you want, this video will completely change how you think about investing, cash flow, and long-term wealth.

And if you want to go deeper, I host a live 2-hour workshop where I help you build your Legacy Statement and Investment Thesis for your own Micro Family Office. You can register at wealthops.io/go or through the link below.

This is the exact framework I use. It’s how I built my own Evergreen Portfolio. And it’s how sophisticated investors protect and grow their wealth for generations.

If you want to stop relying on hope, stop selling assets, and start running your portfolio like an operating business, this video is your roadmap.

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.

If your net worth is over $1 million, I’m about to show you how the ultra-wealthy turn their portfolios into cash flow machines—and why your financial advisor will likely never teach you this.

Most traditional advisors will put you in a 60/40 portfolio and tell you to keep growing your net worth until retirement. The goal? Just get a bigger number on the screen. Then, maybe, if the market plays nice, you can start pulling 4% a year at 65.

But here’s what they don’t tell you: families managing $100+ million aren’t waiting until 65. They’re generating income today—and their wealth is still growing.

Now, you might be thinking, “But I don’t have $100 million. Can I still do this?”

That’s the exact question I spent the last 10 years answering. I’m Christopher Nelson. A few years ago, my portfolio was 98% in public stocks—and it produced zero cash flow. Today, that same portfolio pays me over $200,000 a year in income without selling assets, without touching principal, and it has grown by over $2 million in value.

In this video, I’m going to walk you through the three-step process I used to transform my portfolio into what I call an Evergreen Portfolio—a strategy designed to generate income today and build long-term wealth.

We’ll cover:

• Why the 4% rule falls short—especially if you want lifestyle freedom before 65
• How family offices think differently: they prioritize income, not just accumulation
• The three core asset categories: Income, Growth, and Preservation
• How to build a portfolio that aligns with your goals—whether that’s replacing active income now, creating balance, or growing for future generations
• The real numbers and asset allocation from my personal portfolio
• Why traditional drawdown strategies can fail depending on market timing (sequence of returns risk)
• How to build your Investment Thesis—your personalized blueprint for financial freedom

I'll also explain how to transition your current assets—without blowing up your tax situation—and what to do with your capital once it’s freed up.

This is the exact strategy I teach in my live workshops, where I help high-net-worth individuals build their own Micro Family Office and implement the Evergreen Portfolio model.

Bottom line: you don’t need $10M or $20M to live like the wealthy. You just need to structure what you already have differently.

You have everything you need to start right now.

The question is: how much longer are you willing to wait?

Did you know that investors with over $20 million allocate only 23% of their portfolios to public stocks and 7% to bonds, while most financial advisors recommend 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds?

In this episode, I share how the ultra-wealthy allocate the other 70% of their portfolios and how you can model their approach. We'll dive into the key assets they use, such as real estate and private equity, and how these asset classes generate higher returns, offer tax advantages, and protect against market volatility.

I made $3.3 million in five minutes during my first IPO. Six months later, I was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, completely overwhelmed. I had always believed that seeing seven figures in my bank account would bring freedom—but instead, I had more anxiety than ever.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: making money and managing money are completely different skills.

This video is a deep dive into the six most common—and most dangerous—mistakes I see first-time millionaires make. I’ve lived through all of them. I’ll also walk you through the practical, systematic framework that helped me turn chaotic wealth into a calm, income-generating portfolio.

This video is the one I wish existed when I hit seven figures and had no idea what to do next. If you want to avoid years of trial and error, start by building your foundation—your Legacy Statement and Investment Thesis—and make every financial decision from there.

If you’re ready to start managing your wealth like a real business instead of a high-stakes hobby, I’m hosting a free live workshop in a few days where I’ll walk through this framework in depth. You can apply at wealthops.io/go.

If you think hitting $1 million means you’re financially free, think again. That might’ve been true in 1980, but today? That barely puts you in the top 10% of net worth in America—and it’s not enough to stop working.

In todays episode, I break down the exact net worth thresholds for the top 10%, 5%, and 1% in the U.S.—both total net worth and investable net worth. I’ll also share where I personally stand, how wealth strategies evolve at each level, and what it really takes to break into the top 1%.

Using fresh data from the Federal Reserve’s 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances, we’ll walk through how wealth changes—not just in amount, but in structure.

You’ll see why the climb from median net worth to the top 10% is steep, but getting from 10% to 1% is an exponential leap.

And here’s the big insight: the difference between owning assets and owning capital.

Most people in the top 10% are “house-rich,” but not capital-rich. Nearly 60% of their wealth is tied up in a primary residence that doesn’t generate income. Meanwhile, in the top 1%, nearly half of net worth comes from private business equity—not real estate or stocks.

We’ll also unpack what I call The Great Decoupling—the moment the truly wealthy shift their wealth strategy entirely. It’s not about more assets—it’s about different kinds of assets, systems, and mindset.

If you’re a high earner or successful professional feeling stuck—even with a $2M+ portfolio—this is your wake-up call. You may already be in the top 10%, or even top 5%, but if you’re still using the wrong wealth management playbook, you’ll never break into the top 1%.

Whether you’re just starting to think about investable net worth, or already building legacy-level wealth, this video is your roadmap for moving from income dependence to true financial independence—and eventually, to becoming the CEO of your wealth.

A few years ago, I stood at a crossroads with my portfolio.

Option one: do what most people do—dump it all into index funds and ETFs, hope the market performs, and wait 30 years.

Option two: deploy capital like the wealthy do—across multiple asset classes, focused on income, with strategic allocations that actually pay you now.

I chose option two.

While still working in tech, I built an income-focused portfolio with $530,000 across 9 investments, and it generated $57,000 in annual income. That portfolio became the foundation for what now brings in over $200,000/year in passive income.

But here’s the real value of this video—I’m not just showing you what I did. I’m breaking down what I’d do differently today if I were starting over with the same $500K.

This isn’t theory. These are hard-earned lessons from millions deployed, simplified into a refined framework that anyone can follow—without needing to be a real estate expert, financial advisor, or full-time investor.

In this video, I walk through:

• What I originally invested in (with numbers)
• What worked, what didn’t, and why
• The 5-part framework I’d follow today to generate more income with less stress
• How I went from complexity to a scalable, boring machine that prints income

If you’re sitting on $500,000 or more and want to build a portfolio that pays you to live—not 30 years from now, but today—this video will walk you through the exact strategy I’d use.

In 2012, I watched my net worth jump by $3 million in just minutes after my company went public. I should’ve been celebrating—but instead, I was overwhelmed. What was I supposed to do with this money? I assumed the experts at Morgan Stanley would help me figure it out. But the advice they gave me was the same cookie-cutter portfolio they hand to someone with $100K in a 401K. That’s when I realized something was seriously broken.

This video is for people like me—people with $1M to $30M of net worth—who are stuck in what I call the Financial Dead Zone. You're too "wealthy" for basic personal finance advice, but not rich enough to access a $2M/year full-service family office. And that dead zone? It’s costing you millions in lost opportunity.

In this video, I’m going to walk you through the exact 3-phase blueprint I used to escape the Financial Dead Zone and scale my portfolio to over $8 million—while generating over $200,000 a year in passive income and covering all my family’s living expenses.

This isn’t about risky bets or timing the market. It’s about building a Micro Family Office—taking the systems and strategies of the ultra-wealthy and scaling them down to fit your level of assets.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Why traditional advisors can’t help you scale from $1M to $10M+
• The real cost of staying in the Financial Dead Zone
• The 3 phases of building your own Micro Family Office: Architect, Build, Run
• How to create a custom Investment Thesis aligned with your goals
• Why proper infrastructure and a fractional expert team changes everything
• How to implement systems and processes that treat your wealth like a business

I’ll also show you how this system made my life simpler, not more complicated—removing the stress and emotion from money decisions, and replacing it with clarity, control, and predictable growth.

Whether you’re aiming for financial freedom, generational transfer, or lifestyle flexibility—this is the strategy that works.
