Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about retainer will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 6 years of working with agreement has actually taught me.
Everyone who's good at this now was terrible at it for longer than they'd admit.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to treating every mistake as data rather than failure. After that, bootstrapped to profitability in year 1.
The one thing I would prioritise: find a concrete real-world use case for retainer in your own life or work.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
