Creating Your Manifesto

Posted on by Jennifer Henczel

Be empowered by writing your personal manifesto. Your manifesto is not a description. Your manifesto is a declaration! A manifesto inspires action and community. Love who you are and what you bring to the world. Declare it. Own it. Be it. Live it.

Be empowered by writing your personal manifesto. Your manifesto is not a description. Your manifesto is a declaration! A manifesto inspires action and community. Love who you are and what you bring to the world. Declare it. Own it. Be it. Live it.

I’ve created a structure to help people better express their message. Manifestos come in many forms, but reflecting on these statements and answering these questions is a great place to start:

Quote or Statement

Start with a favourite quote or statement that encompasses your values, passion and purpose.

I believe…

Start with a favourite quote or statement, and then exclaim what you believe. This is an overview of your essence and the other items in this list. Make it concise, yet powerful.

 

My superpower is…

What is your greatest gift to the world? If you’re not sure, what do other people say are your greatest strengths?

 

My purpose is…

How will your serve the world with your passion? You know what you were born to do, so make it your focus.  This is your time and your manifesto. If not you, then who? If not now, then when?

 

It’s all about…

Choose your top 5 power words. What really moves you and excites you. These are the words that resonate with you at your deepest core.

 

Three Things I want to tell the world…

What are the most important and substantial things you want people to know that will inspire and motivate them? Do you see solutions to a problem? These are things you are passionate about, and that you want the world to know!

 

Closing exclamation…

Make it powerful! See my example manifesto below.

Here’s one of my Manifesto Examples:

“Build Bridges, Not Walls.”

I believe that people want to connect, and they want to connect with YOU.

My superpower is connecting with people, and connecting people with others and the resources they need to succeed.

My purpose is working with business owners, leaders, and influencers who are overwhelmed with all the marketing options, and helping them navigate through the choices to create a client attraction system that works.

It’s all about leaders empowering leaders, helping people to help more people, and building strong circles of support together. Gratitude. Reciprocity. Encouragement. Communication. Community.

We need each other. Being an entrepreneur can be isolating. Take a break from your screens, and make meaningful connections by meeting face-to-face with others. Join a group of like -minded people. Be revived. Be renewed.

Focus on what you can give, not take. Expand your reach. Opportunities are abundant. Create meaningful connections with fellow inspired influencers. Don’t compete, find ways to collaborate instead. Collaboration is always more effective than competition.

Realize your true value. See other’s true value. Participate in education and enlightenment to better your life and the world around you.

Join me in this movement of connecting, collaborating, and celebrating!

We are better together!

 

More Manifesto Examples:

Creating a manifesto is a very creative process. You’ll see through the examples below that there are many other structures to see. Our manifesto outline above is just the one we prefer to use with clients, but we invite you to be open to whatever you’re moved to create in your declaration:

On a final note, a manifesto is  different than your mission and vision, although pieces of those can be in your manifesto. Your manifesto, mission and vision will be consistent and reflect the same values and pursuits.  Your Vision and Mission are only part of your journey. You can tap into your passion and purpose even further with your manifesto. We’ll cover your mission and vision in another article soon, or join my Inspired Influencers group to get access to my Breakthrough Branding course, and all my courses! www.inspiredinfluencers.com/membership
