“Are you going to fire again?” comes the chorus from the pros you meet on your way out the door, the pros who’ve been doing this for years and have bankrolls far larger than your annual income. “You should really fire again. This is such a great field.” And so you say, yes, why not, and you fire again—not quite realizing that what makes the field so great, at least for now, is you. You’re the great field. You’re the one who is going to get slaughtered. Over and over and over.
