Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks Steps Down!

As an avid investor and follower of the market news, I have recently read and heard a lot of talk about Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks. Announced this Monday that he will be stepping down from his 25+ years with Starbucks. The twist is, there is talk of him becoming president.

If you asked me before last year if a businessman that had never had a political career could become a president out of nowhere I said: "Of course not!" That just seemed absurd at the time, but after November the reality set in, anybody can be president.

Howard Schultz a known supporter of the democratic party and big campaign contributor to the Hilary campaign might be running in 2020, this comes as a shock.

We will see as this develops and how it will affect Starbucks as a company will they be able to maintain the growth without their now ex-CEO?

If we don't assign energy and time, then it's not something we truly value.     Time is truly the most precious resource because it's finite. We all get 24 hours, and what we chose to do with that is compelty up to us. Do we want to spend our time wathcing tv and playing video games or developing ideas and helping solve problems in the wo...
