Marketing speaker: Increase your canvas size

  
  
  
  
  

Marketing speaker pollockfloorIn my marketing seminars, we spend about 10 minutes talking about what I call "canvas size." And my point is that most people's canvas is too small. Sometimes WAY too small.

To indulge the analogy for a minute, most folks can fingerpaint just as well as others... they just limit themselves to those small little 3x3 canvasses you can get at the art store.

Now, let's say you have big-canvas talents. For example, let's say you're a Chuck Close or a Jackson Pollock.

You could certainly paint on a little 3x3 canvas, but you wouldn't have the space or capacity to express YOUR message in YOUR way.

You'd be constricted, small, and tight. You certainly would not be considered a master of modern art. You're working on the wrong canvas size - it's too small for you.

Or worse, you'll make a mess on the rug and the table as your paint spills over the edges. You need more space.

Are YOU working on a big enough canvas?

Are you SURE?

David, what you can't tell people as directly as I can is that you & your company - DOITMARKETING - is the tool that helps Thought Leaders like us increase our CANVAS SIZE. Your tools help me be more clear, which helps me have more confidence. And you can't increase your CANVAS size without VISION and CONFIDENCE. The money for your services are well worth it. 
 
Peace, Love and Gumbo!

David, I like your point that we should paint on a large canvas at the same time we paint on a small canvas. And your point that ?anyone can apply"
