What's up Rock Nation, today we're talking about positioning. Today we cover why positioning is so important, what people get wrong when it comes to positioning, and how you can separate yourself from the competition through becoming a specialist. We know how talented most of you are, but the business side of being a creator can be challenging. We hope today helps you think about your creative business, and how you can improve your positioning to attract more and better clients!
