The "BusinessWeek" bestseller, now in paperback. "Pour Your Heart Into It" tells the story of how small-company values, passion, and integrity turned six local coffee stories into the Starbucks chain.--"Fortune".
“I want to inspire people to pursue their dreams. I come from common roots, with no silver spoon, no pedigree, no early mentors. I dared to dream big dreams, and then I willed them to happen. I’m convinced that most people can achieve their dreams and beyond if they have the determination to keep trying. Second, and more profoundly, I hope to inspire leaders of enterprises to aim high. Success is empty if you arrive at the finish line alone. The best reward is to get there surrounded by winners. The more winners you can bring with you – whether they’re employees, customers, shareholders, or readers – the more gratifying the victory.My ultimate aim in writing Pour Your Heart into It is to reassure people to have the courage to persevere, to keep following their hearts even when others scoff. Don’t be beaten down by naysayers. Don’t let the odds scare you from even trying. What were the odds against me, a kid from the projects?”
