The hardest part as someone who's just starting out, be it as an artist or an entrepreneur, is to not take more value than you actually create.
When you're just getting started, you're intitially creating close to zero value.
For anybody...
But at the same time, you've gotta take some value (e.g. a payment), to be able to keep creating more value.
And that's the tricky part...
You've gotta figure out how you can, right from the very start, create more value for others than you take from them.
Or how you can bridge the gap until you're able to create more value than you take.
Or else it won't work out...
