			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Came across this great post by John Jantsch called <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/weblog.php?id=P1062">Maybe It&#8217;s a Problem With the Bowl</a>. These words ring very true. If you want to grow your business, you have to think big, act big, and change what you are doing in order to realize growth.</p>
<p>Your marketing will reflect these changes as well. You may need to refresh your brand, increase the quality of your materials and develop marketing activities that project a size bigger than you really are in order to support your new thinking. Evaluate your marketing and see if it sends the right message to your prospects.</p>
