Last week, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson posted an open letter to all US employees, detailing his company’s strategy for the following months in response to the ongoing pandemic. Starbucks has a major advantage in that they’ve already been through this situation. The company currently has over 4,200 stores throughout mainland China, where the novel coronavirus was first identified. In China, over 95% of these stores have now successfully reopened.

Do you call yourself an expert, authority, thought leader, or guru? You shouldn't. Here's why, via today's column: Mon.Apr 24.2017.

Mornings are stressful. No matter how much sleep you get, it seems like you’re always still tired when your alarm goes off. If you’re like most people, you spend some time checking your phone to see what you missed on social media while you were sleeping and see what emails have already started cluttering your inbox. You may not even have time to eat breakfast, but you always overdose on caffeine. You rush to get ready, have to deal with traffic, and arrive late to the office. Then, for the rest of the day, your schedule is dictated by your overflowing inbox. You don’t feel in control of your life. You feel like you’re living out the expectations others have set for you. You feel frantic, rushed, and you struggle to complete any truly meaningful work. A bad morning can hijack the rest of your day. Does this sound familiar? If so, you need a better morning routine! These habits are probably ones you’ve been following for years, but it’s never too late to make a change. You can get out of the morning rut that’s hindering your progress during the rest of the day. The first 90 minutes after you wake up are absolutely crucial. If you start your day strong, you’ll be more focused and productive. Four Habits to Successfully Reclaim Your Morning... …see more

It’s fascinating to see how Warren Buffett and his team have made investments into newspaper publishers over the past few years partly, it seems, based on personal preference and even emotional attachment to the medium. And also that he publicly acknowledges what essentially is a failed strategy. Wonder what’s next for this part of his portfolio. Thanks, Chip , for sharing this. (Views are my own) …see more
