OH! and one more thing- Starbucks is not a coffee business serving people, we are a people business serving coffee. #notaboutcoffee

[Howard Behar @NotAboutCoffee]

Finished my book, It's Not About the Coffee, and now i'm really craving some. Starbucks run anyone? #justsayyes

[Howard Behar @NotAboutCoffee]

Whenever we say #Yes we are ultimately testing our #onehat

[Howard Behar @NotAboutCoffee]

If it's not illegal, immoral or unethical and as long as we won't poison somebody and they want it, why not go for it? #JustSayYes

[Howard Behar @NotAboutCoffee]

Whataburger ---> #JustLikeYouLikeIt + Burger King ---> #HaveItYourWay = Starbucsk ---> #HaveItTheWayYouLikeIt ;)

[Howard Behar @NotAboutCoffee]

There are a million reasons to say no, but it just takes one reason to say #yes.

[Howard Behar @NotAboutCoffee]

#YES is freeing and inspiring. It means possibility. It makes you feel good. #whensthelasttimeyousaidyes?

#DareToDream Who knew saying yes was the most powerful thing in the world?

It means, noise is just noise. It doesn't count for anything. The quieter voice of purpose and caring is the one that matters. #wearehuman

#FaceChallenge Don't get caught up in your own hype.

[Howard Behar @NotAboutCoffee]

Listen to the voice in your head saying "this is what you stand for" as opposed to "you're not to blame, it's those other guys." #takecharge

We are always human beings first.

Let's talk about facing challenges. "there is no such thing as stressful situations, just stressful responses."
