Omnye wabanini behotele / abaphuhlisi bexesha lethu, uJohn Q. Hammons wavelisa iipropathi ezingama-200 zehotele kumazwe angama-40. Kodwa nje amanani afihla ubunzulu beendlela ezizodwa zophuhliso. Wazicekisa izifundo ezinokubakho xa kuvavanywa iisayithi ezinokubakho kuphuhliso lwehotele kwaye endaweni yoko waxhomekeka kumava akhe, kulwazi nakwingqondo.

Nazi ezinye izinto ezibonakaliswa nguJohn Q. Hammons ngokuba ngumphuhlisi okhethekileyo wehotele:

Yiba kunye noTshintsho: Yiba nesiCwangciso sokuSebenza. Abantu abayeki ukucinga ukuba kuthetha ntoni utshintsho. Nantso into ngempumelelo. Kuya kufuneka ujonge utshintsho ebantwini, tshintsha imikhwa, tshintsha isitayile, tshintsha umnqweno, tshintsha kuyo yonke into. Yenzeka yonke imihla, kwaye akukho mntu ucinga ngayo. Ndiyavuma.
Phila ngoMgaqo osisiseko. Abenzi mhlaba ungaphezulu, ke ukuba ujinga kuwo ixesha elaneleyo, uya kwenza inzuzo, nokuba uyithengise okanye uyiphuhlise.
Zibophelele kuMgangatho nakwiNdawo. Ngexesha le-80s kunye nasekuqaleni kwe-90s xa iibhanki zivaliwe, ndixelele abaphathi bezithili zethu, ukuba sizakuhlala kushishino olusemgangathweni. Ndithe ndigqibe kwelokuba imini iyeza apho kuyakubakho uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali oluninzi ongasoze ukholelwe. Ixabiso lokungena liphantsi, kwaye awunyanzelekanga ukuba ubukrelekrele kakhulu ukwenza amagumbi angama-50 okanye ali-100. Asiyi kuhamba apho. Siza kufumana iikholeji, iiyunivesithi kunye namazwe amakhulu. Siza kungena kwiimarike eziqinileyo, kwaye siza kwakha iihotele ezisemgangathweni.
Gcina iLizwi lakho. Udumo lwam lundivumela ukuba ndenze isivumelwano akukho mntu wumbi unokuyenza, ngokuqinisekileyo hayi ngokubamba isandla. Ndihlala ndiphila ngokuvisisana noko ndithe ndiza kukwenza ... nangaphezulu. Ukuba awuyenzi le nto uyithethayo, ilizwi lelo liya kuhamba ilizwe. Andizange ndibenalo olo dumo, kwaye ngekhe ndibenjalo.
Buyisa. Ukuba uyakwazi ukuphumelela ngokwemali ebomini, kuya kufuneka wabelane, kwaye yile nto ndiyenzileyo.
Qhubeka Phambili ngexesha elilungileyo okanye elibi. Nokuba wenza ntoni na uqoqosho, nokuba iimeko zithini na, qhubela phambili. Ndinyamezele iziphepho ezininzi, kodwa ndihlala ndiqinisekile. Amava andifundisile ukuba ndiza kuphumelela, nokuba kwenzeka ntoni kum.

UJohn Q. IiHammon

IHammons yaqala umsebenzi wakhe wophuhliso ngokwakha izindlu zamajoni eMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi eSpanish, eMissouri. Xa ikhomishini yocwangciso lwedolophu yenqaba ukwamkela indawo yokuthenga ephezulu, uHammons waya eCalifornia apho wabona izindlu zikaDel Webb's Highway Homes: ingqiqo yehotele yeemoto eyayilandela uRoute 66. Xa uHammons ebuyela ekhaya, waqhagamshelana neMemphis engaziwayo, uTenn. umakhi ogama linguKemmons Wilson owayesenza umbono ofanayo obizwa ngokuba ziiholide zeeholide. IHammons yakha ubambiswano kunye nekhontraktha yombhobho uRoy E. Winegardner kwaye ngo-1958 waba ngomnye wabanini bamashishini bokuqala beHoliday Inn. Ngexesha lokudibana kwabo, iWinegardner kunye neeHammon ziphuhlise ii-Inns zeeholide ezingama-67, malunga ne-10% yenkqubo iyonke. Olu phuhliso luhambelane nokudalwa kwe-Interstate Highway System xa uMongameli Dwight D. Eisenhower etyikitye umthetho we-Federal-Aid Highway Act ka-1956: isicwangciso seminyaka eli-13 esiza kuxabisa i-25 yezigidigidi zeedola, sixhaswe iipesenti ezingama-90 ngurhulumente womanyano.

IHammon ichazwe ngawakhe amazwi, amaxesha amabini achaza ubomi bakhe:

Ukuchaza uMzuzu 1: “Ngo-1969, umoya wam wokurhweba ekugqibeleni wandikhokelela ekubeni ndiqale inkampani yam, iJohn Q. Hammons Hotels. Nangona iHoliday Inn indincedile ndaba yimpumelelo enkulu, nditshintshe iigiya emva kokubona iihotele zoqoqosho ziphuma ecaleni komnye nomnye. Kwafuneka sigxile, ke sajonga kwimakethi ephezulu, ikakhulu sakha ii-Embassy Suites kunye neehotele zaseMarriott ezinamaziko endibano. Sithathe isigqibo sokwakha iihotele ezisemgangathweni ezigqithile kulindelo lwabathengi. Akukho nanye kwiihotele zethu ezifanayo kwaye sisebenzisa ii-atriums, iimpawu zamanzi kunye nobugcisa basekhaya ukwenza ubuntu. Sizama ukugqitha kwimigangatho yophawu kwihotele nganye, ezinje ngokwandisa iipaseji ukuya kwiinyawo ezisixhenxe kunye nokwenza iinkqubo zokungena kweepod. Ukuba uyakha ngokuchanekileyo, uyifumane ngokuchanekileyo kwaye unike abathengi into abayifunayo, baya kuyithenga. Eyona ndlela yokuthengisa kukuvumela omnye umntu athenge. ”

Ukuchaza uMzuzu 2: “Emva kosuku lwe-9/11 uphuhliso lwehotele lume ngesiquphe. Iinkampani zazisoyika kakhulu ukuya phambili. Ngelixa wonke umntu wayemile, saqhubela phambili. Uncedo lokuqhubeka nokwakha iihotele yayikukufumaneka kwezinto kunye nabasebenzi. Sasisazi ukuba uqoqosho luya kuphinda luphume kwaye abantu baya kuqala ukuhamba ngakumbi. Iihotele zethu kufuneka zikulungele ukubamkela. Sakhe kwaye savula iihotele ezili-16 ukusukela nge-9/11, kwaye eso sigqibo besifanelekile. Kutshanje iindleko zesamente kunye nentsimbi zitshisiwe, zisanda ngama-25%. Ngokuphuhlisa iihotele ngexesha elingaqinisekanga, inkampani yethu igcine i-US $ 80 yezigidi. Nokuba wenza ntoni na uqoqosho, nokuba iimeko zithini na, qhubela phambili.

Ndiyenzile ishishini lam lobomi bonke ukufumana iimarike kunye nokuphuhlisa iihotele ezisemgangathweni. Ukusukela ngo-1958, sakhe iihotele ezingama-200 ukusuka emhlabeni. Endleleni, asizange silibale ukubuyisela kwiidolophu ezisinceda siphumelele. Sifunde nokuba kufuneka ungoyiki ukuze uphumelele. ”

Isiluleko sokuqala sikaHammons “awusoze wakhe ngaphandle kwemarike… Wonke umntu uthi 'indawo, indawo, indawo'. Kodwa ayisiyonyani. Yintengiso, intengiso, intengiso. Into endiyenzayo kukuya kwilizwe liphela kwaye ndikhangele ezo nooks kunye nemizi apho ishishini libambe indawo laza lasebenza. ” IiHammon azange zakhiwe kwiindawo eziphambili. Ukhethe iimarike zasesekondari nezamabanga aphakamileyo apho iinkampani ezinkulu zineeofisi zengingqi okanye iifektri kunye needolophu zaseyunivesithi kunye neentloko zikarhulumente. Xa uHammons kunye nosekela mongameli wakhe omkhulu uScott Tarwater bakhwela kwijeti yabucala kaHammon, babejonge ukudibana koohola bendlela abaphakathi, amaziko ezothutho, oololiwe, iiyunivesithi kunye namakomkhulu karhulumente. Kwakungafuneki ukuba zilungile embindini wesenzo esele sikhona; eneneni, bakhethe ukuba kwindawo ezinzileyo nengasetyenziswanga kakuhle. Mamela isicwangciso-qhinga seHammon: “Emva kokudodobala (okuninzi), ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiya kwiiyunivesithi nakwizixeko ezikhulu, kwaye ukuba ndingazifumana zombini, (umzekelo) iMadison, iWisconsin okanye iLincoln, Nebraska, homerun. Kuba xa uqoqosho lwenzeka, abantu baya esikolweni kwaye abasebenzi bakarhulumente bayahlawulwa. Emva kwe-9/11 bonke abadlali abakhulu abaneehotele ezinkulu kwizikhululo zeenqwelo moya ezinkulu nakumaziko esixeko bathathe ukubethwa okukhulu. Babengenakuzinceda. (Ngelixa) besilapha kwiiyunivesithi nakwizixeko ezikhulu kunye neendawo zokulima / ezolimo ezinamandla. ”

IHammon yayingakholelwa kwizifundo ezisesikweni, zomntu wesithathu. Xa wayeqala umsebenzi wakhe wophuhliso, uHammon wayeya edolophini enze uhlobo lwakhe lokufunda. Oko kwakuthetha ukuthetha nentsimbi, abaqhubi beeteksi, bonke oosomashishini bendawo. Wayethembele kwisigqibo sakhe kunye nezimvo zabaphathi bakhe abaphezulu. USodolophu uSusan Narvais waseSan Marcos, eTexas uthe “Uninzi lwezixeko luza kuthi,“ Ndiziseleni isifundo sokwenza okusemandleni. ' Kodwa uMnu Hammons luphononongo lokuhamba olunokwenzeka. Uyayithemba imigwebo yakhe ngokujonga nje ibali lobomi bakhe kunye nodumo alufumanayo. ” IHammon inikezele ngolu hlobo lulandelayo: “Isiqithi saseMackinac sineGrand. IColorado Springs ine-Broadmoor. Bendisazi ukuba ilizwe lechibi laseBranson liza kuba yinto ethile. ”

Ngaba iiHammon zichanekile? Cinga nje ngoku kulandelayo:

Ifumaneka embindini weentaba zeOzark kunxweme lweLake Taneycomo, iBranson yindawo yabakhenkethi eyaziwayo, eyaziwayo ngeendawo zemidlalo yeqonga ezininzi zomculo, iiklabhu kunye nezinye iindawo zokuzonwabisa, kunye nembali yedolophu kunye nobuhle bendalo obujikelezileyo.
Izigidi ezisi-7 zabantu baqhubela eBranson minyaka le ukuya kwiithiyetha ezingama-50 kunye nemiboniso bhanyabhanya edolophini
Ulibale iLas Vegas kunye nesithili saseNew York. I-acre ye-acre, i-Branson liziko lokuzonwabisa eliphilayo lesizwe.
UBranson yi- $ 1.7 yezigidigidi zabakhenkethi i-mecca, eyona ndawo iphambili kumqeqeshi wezithuthi e-US

Ihotele engcono eBranson yiHammon's Chateau kwiLake Resort Spa kunye neZiko leNgqungquthela, inkwenkwezi-4, ihotele engama-301 eneenyawo ezingama-46, i-85,000 yemithi kwi-atrium yayo. Indawo yayo yokusebenza ibandakanya i-32,000 yeenyawo zeenyawo kwiHolo enkulu, amagumbi eentlanganiso ezilishumi elinesithandathu, amagumbi amathathu eebhodi ezihlangeneyo kunye neqonga lezihlalo ezingama-51. I-Chateau ine-marina yenkonzo epheleleyo nayo yonke into esuka kwi-jet skis ukuya kwi-ski boats, i-scuba diving, ukuloba kunye neminye imidlalo yezamanzi. I-Spa Chateau ye-Spa ye-Spa ye-Spa ye-Spa enezinto ezili-14,000 ezinamagumbi onyango aqukethe iitafile zokwenza umthambo ngamanzi.

IiHammon nakanjani zakha ihotele engcono kunye enkulu kunoluntu ekulindelwe nangaphandle kwenkampani ye-franchise efunekayo. Uthe, “Ndihleli ndisinda kuba ndikholelwa kumgangatho. Kwinkomfa yomphathi apho ndixelele abantu bethu ukuba ndizimisele ukuhlala kumgangatho ophezulu, ishishini elisemgangathweni, ndibaxelele ukuba ndizakubeka indawo yokuhlangana kwiihotele zethu. Kwaye indawo yokuhlangana iyakuba nkulu, njenge-10, 15 okanye i-40,000 yeenyawo zenyawo, kuba ngumgaqo-nkqubo wethu weinshurensi. Ndisazi ukuba iintsingiselo zeendibano ezinkulu ezinje ngeChicago, eNew York, eMiami, eSan Francisco naseLos Angeles, Seattle, njl.njl, ziya kuba yinto yexesha elidlulileyo kuba awukwazi ukufikelela apho. Ndazile. Ndabona ukuba kuyeza. Kungenxa yoko le nto ndifuna ukuya kwingingqi apho ndinokuba sesikhundleni esiphambili. … Gcina iipropathi zakho kwaye unyuke unyuse umgangatho. Beka iziko lendibano phaya kwaye usengakwazi ukuba neshishini ukuba neentlanganiso zakho nezinto ezinjalo, ”utshilo uHammons.
