Nuttall Property Investments’ Post

No one believed in this guy. He went from selling his OWN blood to survive, to building an empire worth $111 BILLION. More than 200 investors missed the opportunity of a lifetime by rejecting his ideas. Howard Schultz grew up in a poor Brooklyn neighborhood. His dad was a truck driver. One day he had an unfortunate accident in which he broke his hip, leaving him jobless. With no one to provide, Howard’s family was dead broke... Howard couldn’t afford college. So he had to take student loans, work random jobs and even sell HIS OWN BLOOD to survive. But his desire was to work at Starbucks (which sold coffee beans at the time). After 1 year of persuading the owners, he got the job. In 1983, Howard was visiting Italy. There he fell in love with the italian coffee culture, where espresso bars were a "third place" between work and home. He wanted to bring this idea to Starbucks, but the owners rejected him. So Howard quit his job to create “Il Giornale”. But there was a problem: Howard had no money to start his own company. He went on to talk to 242 investors, 217 rejecting him. Even Lavazza, the largest Italian coffee company, said no. Luckily, there were at least a few people interested in investing in Howard’s dream. After 2 years of gathering funds, Il Giornale was born. The company struggled at first, but it was doing fairly well. Starbucks was on the verge of bankruptcy. So the owners decided to offer Howard to buy the 6 stores for 3.8 million. Howard had no money, so he needed funds asap. But one of his investors tried to STEAL this opportunity. How DID get the investment finally. Under Howard's idea, Starbucks blew up. From just 6 stores in 1987, as of May 2024, there are 38,137 Starbucks stores worldwide! Today, Starbucks is worth $111 billion. And it would’ve never happened if he quit because of rejections. You see we all get rejected 🙅♂️🙅♀️ I’ve had rejection for jobs, from banks, for loans, from family, from investors and from society at large. I kept going regardless and built not only 1, but 4 businesses including a £multi million property portfolio.
