More quotes by Howard Schultz
Everyone starts strong. Success comes to those with unwavering commitment to be at the end.
Howard Schultz
I was born on the other side of the tracks, in public housing in Brooklyn, New York. My dad never made more than $20,000 a year, and I grew up in a family that lost health insurance. So I was scarred at a young age with understanding what it was like to watch my parents lose access to the American dream.
Howard Schultz
Often, organizations need bold, grand gestures to galvanize people towards a new mission or refocus their attention.
Howard Schultz
We think of Starbucks not as a coffee company but a media company.
Howard Schultz
There's an energy and excitement when you're building a company. You have so much tail wind. You're planting new seeds. But it's also scary, because there's no safety net.
Howard Schultz
To be an enduring, great company, you have to build a mechanism for preventing or solving problems that will long outlast any one individual leader.
Howard Schultz
Starbucks has stores in America in many, many communities that are governed by many, many different municipalities. Starbucks cannot dictate to a municipality in Cincinnati or Kansas City or Sacramento how or why or when there should be a recycling program.
Howard Schultz
Any business today that embraces the status quo as an operating principle is going to be on a death march.
Howard Schultz
Managing and navigating through a financial crisis is no fun at all.
Howard Schultz
Americans reading the paper, listening to the news every single day, and all you hear is things are getting worse and worse. And that has a psychological effect on consumer confidence. That's what consumer confidence is.
Howard Schultz
I was taken by the power that savoring a simple cup of coffee can have to connect people and create community.
Howard Schultz
Starbucks represents something beyond a cup of coffee.
Howard Schultz
I grew up in a working class family where there was no health insurance. I saw first hand the fracturing of the American dream and the bitterness that comes when there is no hope and a lot of despair. So I wanted to build the company, in a sense, that my father never got a chance to work for.
Howard Schultz
I was working probably at the age of 10, when I had my first paper route. I had every different kind of job you could possibly imagine as a young kid.
Howard Schultz
Success is something that has to be earned every day.
Howard Schultz
Our history is based on extending the brand to categories within the guardrails of Starbucks.
Howard Schultz
If you look at coffee, tea, food and juice, we think there are inherent opportunities. If you look at health bars or grab-and-go products that are in our stores, we think we can significantly enhance them and make them more widely available.
Howard Schultz
I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see And pursuing that vision.
Howard Schultz
The future of America is not an entitlement. We have been given a treasure chest of gifts and opportunities, but some people are being left behind, and success is not sustainable unless it is shared.
Howard Schultz
Passionate conviction ... sparks romances, wins battles, and drives people to pursue dreams others wouldn't dare. Belief in ourselves and in what is right catapults us over hurdles, and our lives unfold.
