Using a clever illustration, Prince Kaybee explained the concept of being technically in debt. He highlighted a scenario where an artist receives upfront payment for six upcoming shows but ends up spending the money before the performances even take place.
According to Prince Kaybee, this situation is akin to chasing future labor with income that has already been reflected. In other words, it’s like rendering a service without the necessary capital to support it.
Dear artist you are technically in Debt IF 6 shows ahead of you have all paid you upfront but you have spent the money already. Its chasing future labour with income thats already reflected, you will be rendering a service without the service capital.
