Just back from the annual Governor’s Conference on Tourism I have not missed this event many times in the last 15 years. This year was interesting and thought provoking as they usually are and I came back with a list of things I need to do and try. It figures now that my calendar has started to fill and time gets a little scarcer.
Saturday was the most recent guide small business seminar. Attendance we light and there were several last minute cancellations. I prefer a bigger group as it generates a wider range of discussions and topics. Still I enjoyed the day very much and am certain that the folks attending learned more than enough to justify spending a cold winter day indoors and paying the registration fee. As always the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine Conference center was perfect for the seminar.
I have been reading The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb for the last week or so. It is an interesting idea given the recent economic turmoil. For a description of the idea visit this link in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory
