Cool Stuff


A little motivational:

Howard Schultz and Starbucks – Raking in $13.2 billion last year in revenues, Starbucks has become a household name here in North America, and around the world internationally. Who is the man behind it all? Howard Schultz. In the 1980′s, Schultz noticed the coffee bar trend in Europe and wanted to bring the idea to North America. However, the concept was so bizarre at the time that people could not perceive the idea of serving coffee in paper cups over the counter, when they could just brew it themselves at home. Coffee business at the time primarily dealt with roasting coffee to sell for home brewing. In order to bring his new idea to life, he needed $1.6 million. Schultz met with numerous potential investors, but was shut down 242 times before someone gave him a shot. Without his persistence, self-confidence and the strong belief he had in his own ideas, there would be no tall, no venti and no grande, today. SO: "Never Give Up!"
