I lived without this for years, and I have no idea how, but last month I turned my iPhone into a “hot spot.”

Think of a hot spot as Wi-Fi on demand. By connecting your computer to your phone, you can use the cellular phone network to access the Internet, anywhere you have cell service.

Just give your cell phone carrier a call to have it set up. (One word of caution: If you’re paying for cell phone data use, when you use your phone as a hot spot you’re running up that usage. Make sure you don’t use too much and end up paying overage charges!)

I’ve been subscribed to Seth Godin’s blog via email for at least five years. I never, ever delete his posts before reading. He’s clever, he’s smart and he inspires me to continue to search for and do the work that I love every day.

Pick up any of this marketing guru’s many bestselling books or subscribe to his blog. You’ll be glad you did.
