Passion & Business Go Hand in Hand

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

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.

The Message in a Maze

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.
