Idea Tanks

For me, there are certain places that just seem to foster better thinking...my idea tanks. Moving vehicles happen to be at the top of the list. I suppose it’s because I’m forced into fewer activities and distractions while in them. No kids or colleagues asking for a favor, no surfing the internet (although you can do that for a small fortune on most planes now), etc. It’s an office which forces me to focus on what’s gong on in my mind vs. worrying about what might interrupt me next.

I guess there are tons of idea tanks. Some people probably use hammocks, or a small corner of the beach. In any form, they breed creativity. Where’s yours?

Sorry, gotta go, we’re about to land.

Change Brings A New Hotel Tool Box

Msbuttonbeveled Toolboxbuttonbevel

We recently overhauled the Memorable Solutions website...quite a bit of streamlining along with design changes, etc. As a result, the MS Tool Box page was moved. It now lives on its own at Squidoo (you can also get there by clicking on the button in the side bar). And, with the relocation it also has undergone quite a change. It's now open source. That is...everyone has the opportunity to contribute. Think of it as an exchange of resources. You take some...and, hopefully, you leave some too. You'll find spreadsheets, checklists, a list of hospitality blogs, books, consultants and even a link to a news site which provides real-time headlines from all of the popular hospitality news feeds, all in one place. What I've compiled is just the beginning...please add your own.

I hope you find the changes helpful and the new Tool Box useful. Feedback is more than welcome.
