Passion….the dictionary describes it as any powerful or compelling emotion. In terms of business, it’s what drives the creativity to innovate and stirs the desire to excel in the boardroom and the shop floor. Without passion, there is no development, no forward momentum, no reason to wonder.
 Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen By checking out my latest blog posting on the NHBR Network titled “The Loneliness of a High Volume Eater,” (http://www.nhbrnetwork.com/profiles/blogs/the-loneliness-of-a-high) you’ll learn how passion drove a wide-eyed 22-year-old to run backstage at a Cheap Trick concert in a desperate attempt to meet Rick Nielsen and how passion caused a Japanese icon to down 68 hot dogs.

What’s the value of a job? Well, that answer certainly lies in the eyes of the beholder as you will see from my newest blog posting on the NHBR Network.
 One media outlet had its own take on the value of the Coos County Tax Credit yesterday and it’s good to take a second look at this incentive through a different prism.

Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest places…..but aisle nine of the supermarket?
 If you’d like to know what sort of wild inspiration I derived for a blog posting from a maze of shopping carts, check out my latest piece for the NHBR Network at this address: http://www.nhbrnetwork.com/profiles/blogs/the-message-in-a-maze.
It’s a brief story about caring, about passion, about wanting to be the best you can be no matter what your profession or station in life. As we all enter the work week, I think that it’s perfect fodder for contemplation.

 Dwight Schrute knows the "real deal". If so, you must be wearing the “Three Wolf Moon” shirt, the official t-shirt of New Hampshire economic development. What went into the decision behind the recent designation of this shirt with undeniably mystical powers? What was the initial result?

Alright folks….I know that many people have begun to mentally check out and are consumed by visions of sugar plums, elves and chestnuts roasting on an open fire. But what about your New Year’s Resolution?
 By visiting my blog on the New Hampshire Business Review Network site, you can learn why I’m not the fifth member of an iconic New York City punk band and how my absolute lack of musical ability and my pronounced regional dialect helped to shape my career aspirations. It’s also a nice tale about pursuing dreams, channeling energies and finding the focus that can help you succeed in the boardroom as well as in other aspects of your life.
If you’ve been searching for the right New Year’s Resolution, this one might be the trick. Check it out at http://www.nhbrnetwork.com/profiles/blogs/why-im-not-the-fifth-ramone.

I’d like to thank my friends and colleagues over at New Hampshire Business Review for allowing me to be part of a new initiative to assist the state’s business community – the first business-to-business networking site in the state.
 I have become a featured blogger on the NHBR Network, an online business-to-business networking site that is providing businesspeople around the state with valuable information, tips and assistance from a team of contributors that include NHBR Editor Jeff Feingold, Andy Volinsky, Chuck Sink, Heidi Page, Steven Feinberg, CPA, Bill Ryan, Jason Blais, Deb Titus, Deb LeClair, Cindy Kibbe, Bob Sanders and yes, good old me.
 Steve Boucher I’m hoping to use this forum to give folks content that is a bit different than what you see here on the “No Bull Business Blog.” It’ll be “No Bull” to be sure, but it will also give a flavor for some trends that I’m seeing in the economic development community, some tips for marketing success and some observations of state government from the inside.
If you haven’t joined the network yet, please do so by visiting www.nhbrnetwork.com. You can check out my first entry entitled “Guts, Glory and a Dream.” Thanks again to NHBR for the platform and the opportunity.

The Dunfey Family built the hotel chain that today is Omni Hotels, one of the country’s largest hotel franchises with over 15,000 rooms and 13,000 employees.
Sponsors of the event were FairPoint Communications, Laconia Savings Bank, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care of New England, Public Service of New Hampshire, Corks Wine Bar at the Bedford Village Inn, Merrimack Street Volvo, WGIR-AM, New Hampshire Public Television and The Event Center at C.R. Sparks.
A portion of the evening’s proceeds were donated to Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA, an organization that advocates in New Hampshire’s courts and welfare systems for the best interests of abused and neglected children, so they can grow up in safe, permanent homes. — CINDY KIBBE/NEW HAMPSHIRE BUSINESS REVIEW
