Building a business around broad categories and familiar labels often leaves out the very thing that makes someone’s work unforgettable. In this episode, Mellissa Seaman explores why your manifesto is one of the strongest tools for attracting ideal clients, communicating your values, and making your work impossible to confuse with anyone else’s.
