Would Love some Guidance before I form / Name my LLC

So I am trying to lay the foundations of my business this month, and honestly I have no clue what I am doing. I definitely suffer from artist syndrome and I'm a wee babe with very low financial literacy. I understand what Im building is so much more than just music, its community building and organizing, healing, ceremony, its coaching and I need to start growing myself as a business entity, not just an artist.

I have a couple questions to ask before I establish my business:

What should I consider as I name it? I am a musician, my initial instinct is just to go Meera Raphael Arts LLC, thats what ChatGPT suggested too. Are the consequences to naming it after my name? Should I keep my artist identity and my legal identity separate?

Then what are some foundational practices I should get in place so I can manage this business effectively? Any resources you would recommend, good books or content creators I could watch to up my financial literacy?

And finally honestly, just an open call to any wisdom from those of you who have been doing this for a long time. I am open to receive!

Thanks so much Fam. I love you <3
