My story as an artist is different  from most artist. I established a career first . I have worked in the corporate industry for a very long time.  Also, I have always kept a multiple jobs. In addition to this I went into business for myself. I have invested  in myself.  and learned a lot from the trial in error of trusting people who do it full time.  I agree you do need income.. But you could  do it all in house  and save money.   I  chose to release musiic as a passion.  Use  my strategy knowledge and skillsets for myself.  Then  take these services to help other artist.  Keep in mind WLK helping Hands is owned and ran by Intelligent Diva. We are here to help you independent artist.

Check out  my case studies and you decide.. I"m  bringing 22 years of experience  to small businesses and  individuals.  Everything  which I have done myself..  in the corporate industry  I have  been on top in sales, marketing,, finance, project management and  IT.  When you take your skillsets and apply it to a business  model you can run your house and business  the same way. You just need a strategy., structure a budget you can manage and maintain.  Also a niche that makes you stand out from the rest.  I"m blessed to know that I can show you  make your skillsets work for you during the pandemic  and start your  own business. Where you can do it on a budget you can afford.  Even if you are a small business  or an  independent  artist, you can apply the same principles  and strategies where you operate as large corporation or major label.

Case Study 1:  I started  as a contractor working  part time at  a major corporation. The corporation was new  and this 1 employee worked as a maintenanc and handy man. He  was  earning around $40,000 a year. I didnt even  learn I until later that he was living out of his car. I  recognized his talent.  He could do anything that didnt require a license. Also, he  had green thumb for plants. He has a casual conversation with me about him needing to make some extra  money. He had a lawn mower but, it was down.  He was driving  a  Hyundai when I met him as his car. I spoke to him and told him about my business and that I saw what he could  do. The fact  alone this major corporation  had 2 warehouses and he was the maintenance and handy man for both.  The corporation trusted him. So , I could to.  I told him that he could start his  own business specializing  in handy man services  and lawn maintenance.  In communities  people had a need for this.  As a marketing  strategy  we would  demonstrate  his capabilities.  I contacted a landscaping  company  to give me a quote for a design that wanted. Their price was $5,000. I reviewed  the  estimate where they claining to get the plants from a nursery which was not local.. The prices were high.for the supplies  was the labor. I went to Lowes  to price the plants in their list which was local. I pulled up and saw the company van of the  place  that I received  the quote from .I decided,  the first demonstration would be  for me to buy the supplies and have  my client do the work as our marketing  strategy.   We would purchase  the supplies prep the work.  Then he could bring someone to help him.  They  could work in  4 hr  estimates.  The price we  set for the project was $800.00.  As  he started the project.,  people stopped  to ask him  how much did he charge and complimented his work.  People asked me so. As the inquiries grew. He developed  customers in my community.  I also  was the Vice President   and now I'm  president  of  Old Kings Plantation  LlLC.. Homeowners iin other communities  became his clients.  as a result  of my referral.  Homeowners  started to use  him for  handy man services also for their rental properties.  This added an additional  $10,000 to his income alone.  We worked on what he needed to do  to restore his credit  without   using  a restoration  company.. Next ,  I convinced him to  replace his car with a truck.  I told him how he could get approved.. Then he could add delivery services  to his brand.  He  got a new truck.  .His income increased after  he added delivery  services. This took him to an additional $60,000.  He was able to  rent  a home. No longer living on his car.  2 years ago  ,  the owner of the home  let the house go into foreclosure. I told him now it's time to buy your first home. He told me he couldnt  afford a  decent  home. I  said yes you can . At this point he was generating $30,000 in additional income.  I showed him which houses he could qualify for  based on his income.  I told him he could generate new business from people who needed pressure washing.   I would  allow him to  borrow mine until  he  could get one.. He could qualify the first time buyers program.  My client was able to buy his first  home.. and  was able to qualify. due to him creating  multiple  streams of income  based on his skillset of hsndu man repairs , lawn care and delivery work.  Launched a demonstration  of   based on allowing the community  see him do the work. He started the business  with no money. I gave  him the tools  to get  started .   The cosiign was  that  he did this  work for a major corporatio.  They trusted him.  He could use employees to help  him  by delegating  the work, and assigning task.  People who wanted large projects done in the community  for lawn services.  He could apply a strategy  to get it done at lower cost.   built around his schedule.  They would trust his work  because  they have seen his execution.   He has been my client for 8 years.
