> you still need to be willing to walk away. A bad deal can be much, much worse than no deal at all. Yes yes yes. For almost all things in life you need to be able (and therefore on some level to be prepared) to walk away. And if you can't, you should set as a top priority creating the ability to do so (and don't let on to the other side that you can't walk away). If the other side of the deal picks up on the fact you can't or won't walk away and is malicious, they will savage you.
