Aim Big, Then Deliver	Passion Leads To Opportunities	Enthusiasm

Luke Johnson Channel 4 Television	Pete Waterman PWL	Dame Anita Roddick The Body Shop International

It’s important in business to be ambitious and aim high. Business, like life, is about growth and progress – so be ambitious early on, as life is too short.	It is important to have a passion for your area of business, because deep knowledge and a high level of motivation are more likely to lead to identifying successful new business opportunities in your chosen marketplace.	Enthusiasm is an unstoppable force, and the essential ingredient to starting a business successfully.

			Pour Your Heart into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time If a company is driven by values and people rather than by profits, it can grow without losing the passion and personality that built it. Starbucks Coffee Company has done just that. Beginning with one retail outlet in Seattle, the company has grown to more than 1,000 stores nationwide, with a new one opening every business day. Yet, the company still leads with its heart and nurtures its soul. It provides long-term value for shareholders, and still treats its employees with respect and dignity. Sharing the passion, values, and inspiration that drive the success of this remarkable company, Schultz tells Starbucks’ story in chapters that illustrate the principles that have made the enterprise endure. Thus, pour Your Heart into IT is not just a record of business growth and success, but it is also a primer on caring more than others think wise, risking more than others think safe, dreaming more than others think practical, and expecting more than others think possible. Lessons that promise to benefit entrepreneurs, marketers, managers, and customers alike.
