Checking how fragile you are by asking the question "Can I walk away?" is clever. I'll keep this to have as a rule of thumb.

Back in my analyst days, we looked at how fragile businesses were by looking at the % of the income that came from their top clients. This is a similar way to look at the level of robustness.

The follow up question might be "How can I make myself stonger by walking away?" Maybe walking away from a client can free up some of your time to get more clients or at a higher rate. You would become antifragile.

Great edition Kenny!

Congrats on your new chapter. We decided to end a lease early too (sold everything in San Diego and got a 1-way flight to Europe back in ~2016). Sometimes you need to shake it up like that.
