I was smiling ear to ear on a recent plane trip when reading a book written by cartoonish Hugh MacLeod, someone I’ve met several times and enjoyed reading his sometimes odd –yet insightful blog for many years. You see, his book Ignore Everybody, really isn’t a book. of it as as that friend in high school who never followed the rules, but achieved his goals took you out for a beer 20 years later and shakes your shoulders and wakes you up. Hugh’s book is about creativity and inspiration, how you should draw this energy from within –not from group think, or cubicles, or existing standards. Like those having a beer –or two– with an inspirational old friend, his book is easy to read on a short flight, and contains his irreverant cartoons.
If you’re reading my blog, you’re likely Indonesia Telegram Number Data pushing the limits of creativity of the digital space within your career (just as I like to do too) and this should be a book to grab and keep close to the heart. I give Ignore Everybody 4.5 stars out of 5 stars, which matches it’s soaring amazon ranke of #38 in just three days. Or, in the spirit of the book, “F-that”, don’t listen to me, go buy it and tell me what you think, and write your own review. I stayed at the Hilton hotel in San Diego this weekend, and overall a great experience. However there was a 10 dollar charge for internet for 24 hours usage at the property, and since I wasn’t on business, I wouldn’t be able to expense it. Charging guests for internet access is like charging for water or the lights, and hotels that charge are missing a few business opportunities.
Like what? Here’s a few suggestions, and then I’ll open it up to commenters to share their ideas: Providing free WiFi (like coffee shops have figured out) means I’m more likely to stay on property and spend more time and money on your hotel. It means I’m more likely to have business meetings in your restaurant or lounge and invite others to come and do business. We have expense reports and are likely to buy food and drink. We’ll access our web enabled devices at the pool, in the lounge, keeping our kids busy, and keeping us connected. Savvy hotels will create or foster location based social networks, that will encourage guests to rate and rank which restaurants, attractions, and self-support each other.
