We have touched on the edges of this in our discussions - how to enjoy the quieter times without the panic that comes from needing new work at some point in the future. How to survive the crazy busy times and make sure they pay for the lean times

1. How do you know when you're done? When do client relationships come to an end?
2. Might go against the grain(!) of the book - but any kind of thing to give away / call to action here - checklist to download etc?

Will keep thinking

I think part of it is the mindset: you're not going anywhere near BS. You are calling out (your own) uncertainty and describing what has a foundation and what does not. You are coming up with unsupported ideas, but simultaneously pointing out that they are unsupported.

Probably crucial: you can only do this well when you have really solid foundations and wide range of references and sources to call upon. It's a process of remixing rather than synthesis (normally)

I feel like I should have a ton to add / ideas to have here - maybe an in-person riff discussion. It's not flowing easily to think up suggestions / recommendations, but I think I have a ton of ideas just below the surface

in particular - no substitute to doing it / practice

and - I don't know if it'll work out to be relevant - but the challenges of big numbers (which I think we have talked about most in the context of poker thinking - but applies to business as well - learning to be ok with $ values that sound like cars (or houses!))

for some reason this feels like the penultimate chapter to me - not sure what comes after it, but it feels like it might need something to wrap up after it

This is interestingly broad - and I wonder a) if you can pull of the breadth and b) if you can, how you position / market it?

What other kinds of indie have you seen using similar techniques to you?
