the guiding question to build wealth as an artist — kening zhu
maybe, you start with a commitment:
“I commit to using my creative superpowers as an artist to give extraordinary value and service to those I deeply wish to serve; while sharing my vision, ethos, and philosophy along the journey.”

I feel I need to spend more time curating specific, deep questions involving the realization of somebody’s own gifts, or YOUNIQUENESS.
