In the first week of Women’s History Month, Kim Kardashian gave some rather controversial advice.
“I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f—ing A$$ up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days,” Kim Kardashian said in a clip.
Her sister Kourtney cosigned with “That’s so true.”
“You have to surround yourself with people that want to work,” she added.
I know she’s not talking about you (or me).
The women I know. #WORK
Here’s what I think of Kim’s advice for Women In Business.
Right MESSAGE!
WRONG MESSENGER!
The way she “WORKS” is not how most women WORK!
Case in point …
She was born to an already rich family with Carte Blanche to CHAMPAGNE CONNECTIONS.
Her Father (a famous lawyer) and Step Father (Olympic Athlete/Gold Medalist) paved the way for her glitzy path.
After graduating from high school, Kim Kardashian became a personal assistant to Paris Hilton.
She had SOCIAL CAPITAL.
When Paris landed a Reality Show, it didn’t take Mama Kris long to leverage her ROLODEX.
A lot of people forget how the E Entertainment deal came to fruition.
… and let us not forget about the infamous ‘tape’ with her then famous boyfriend, Ray J (who happens to be the little brother of R&B Artist, Brandy.
Connect the dots.
Money creates MORE MONEY!
I would never say she didn’t work hard for her fame and accolades but her definition of hard work is not the same as mine (or yours).
“Try living your life without a rich family and then talk to me.”
Work is not the same when you weren’t born with such privileges.
Are you with me?
Some people work hard and struggle most of their adult life.
Here’s what one woman posted.
“When you come from a privileged position. You shouldn’t be giving advise to anyone that wasn’t born in the same position period.”
I agree 1001%!
What can we learn from Kim (if anything at all)?
Don’t underestimate the power of SOCIAL CAPITAL. You’re always one person away from a life changing opportunity.

LIFE CHANGING!
If you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth and you’d like to build Wealth, Influence & Power with a BILLION DOLLAR ROLODEX, book a call.
There’s something liberating about being SELF MADE.
