- With respect to skills, you prepare incrementally. When learning to ski, no sense going straight for the black diamond slopes 'less you like the taste of bark. Know your limits and increase them a step at a time while building knowlege and experience. Or . . . do it with someone who's already a pro. Or . . . just do it and rely on luck, who knows, you might get away with it
.
With respect to everything else (sell house, sell wife, rent out kids, pack clothes and beer) . . . just go ahead and do that stuff - to heck with preparation.
