How Kylie Jenner Turned Her Insecurities Into A Billion-Dollar Empire

There’s a lot more to Kylie Jenner than meets the eye.

From afar, she looks just like another Instagram influencer happy to trade her TV fame for social media notoriety.

Many who don’t know her well have been quick to throw hate comments at her all across the web.

Others call her a fake, or worse. They say she would not be where she is today if it had not been because of her fame-obsessed family, and her mother, in particular, engineering everything for her.

In reality, however, Kylie Jenner is a business genius. None of her success just fell into her lap, at least, not quite like that.

Her half-sisterĀ Kim Kardashian West had this to sayĀ in defence of her younger sibling:

“Itā€™s not like that was handed to her. She figured that all out. I mean, we all have.”

Kim knows, because she has faced off the same accusations about fame and success.

From Zero To A Billion

From 2015 to 2018, Kylie Jenner took her cosmetics business, Kylie Cosmetics, from zero to over a billion dollarsā€™ valuation in just three short years.

Here’s the inside scoop on how this young female billionaire made her fortune at just the age of 21.

Kylie was born in Los Angeles, California in 1997. Where her life differs from you and me is that she grew up practically in front of the TV cameras.

By age 10, she was making regular appearances on the hit reality showĀ Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

It was a stressing time for a young girl who, self-confessedly, lacked confidence in front of the cameras.

ā€œEver since I was in sixth grade, I would wear purple eye shadow,ā€ sheĀ told Forbes in an interview.

To help herself feel a bit more confident, she got into makeup, learning from what she had seen the makeup artists do in preparing her for show appearances.

Makeup became something of an obsession for Kylie, and it was soon paired with a growing social media following.

Her fans were quick to notice her enlarged lips, which stirred a controversy as young girls started doing theĀ Kylie Jenner Lip ChallengeĀ to imitate her look. This involved placing their lips in a shot glass and then sucking the air out of the glass.

Kylie Takes Over The Cosmetics World

Kylie began teasing her Kylie Lip Kits across Instagram, SnapChat, and other social media. When she announced the launch online, the kits sold out in a matter of minutes.

She used $250,000 of her own money, saved from some prior modelling gigs, to finance the production of her kits.

Kylie brought on her mother to manage PR and finance, with the Shopify Plus platform handling sales. A private label company called Spatz Laboratories handles production, while Kylieā€™s staff consists of just a handful of full-time employees.

In 2016, Kylie Cosmetics did around $300 million in revenue, thanks to Kylieā€™s highly engaged fanbase of 18-24 year old women. By 2018, the company was valued at $800 million, a figure that went up to $900 million in early 2019.

By then, Kylie was officially a billionaire.

In the process, though, she has changed how the cosmetics world thinks about product and marketing. Other celebrities like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian have jumped on the bandwagon, releasing their own beauty products.

How I run a $300M+ business from the beachā€¦(and how you can TOO!)

Published

on

Yes, you read that right.

If thereā€™s anything the pandemic taught us, itā€™s that the paradigm of ā€œofficeā€ and ā€œworkspaceā€ has been shaken to its CORE.

Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run fromā€¦wherever. šŸ“²

This is my office for the dayā€¦

I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.

Itā€™s 4:28 pm CET, which means itā€™s 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.

(And the team will continue to crush it while Iā€™m asleep. Thatā€™s the šŸ—)

So how did we get here?Ā 

We launched NYCE and our mission to create 100,000 millionaires in March, 2020ā€¦just as the global COVID-19 lockdown happened. šŸ˜³

As a result, we shut down our main office and set EVERYTHING up to run remotelyā€¦

SMOOTHLY! And a system that allows us to outperform competition by 200%. (You can build this system, too. More on this in a second.)

Hereā€™s what we were able to do since then:

  • Gained 6M+ followers across all platforms šŸ“ˆ
  • Add 1500+ new apartments to the portfolio šŸ¤‘
  • Grow to $300M in real estate šŸš€
  • 105% investor returns šŸŽ‰
  • 700K+ community members šŸ¤

And hereā€™s the best partā€¦

Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.

This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. šŸ”„

Let me repeat thatā€¦3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.

Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.

There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelonaā€¦Nat in New Yorkā€¦Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.

All the while giving YOU GUYS wealth hacks and daily content. šŸ”„

OK, so how can you do it?!

Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle youā€™re launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.

MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until youā€™ve made your FIRST DOLLAR! šŸ—šŸ—šŸ—šŸ—

(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)

One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnbā€”you can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Hereā€™s a guide if you need it.)

Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.

Iā€™m gonna put together a step-by-step video breakdown this weekend inside the new TRIBE U on the FIVE key things you need to do this for YOURSELF. šŸ’µ šŸ’Ž

From what software to use, how to build a team, how to keep.

In the meantime, drop a comment if youā€™re ready to build some wealth and any questions if you want moreā€¦

Letā€™s get to work. šŸ™Œ

PS: If you canā€™t be bothered with video and just wanna get to work, weā€™re hosting a TRIBE U workshop that will help you get this process started on the spot. Itā€™s $479 $49. šŸ”„
