Howard Schultz’s dream was to have a nationwide chain of upscale coffee shops, but was told repeatedly this was an unrealistic concept. More than 240 banks turned down his request for financing.

Don’t let small minds tell you that your dreams are too big.

Only you know how important YOUR dreams are and how determined you are to achieve them.
