Kim said calmness is her greatest strength.

This may come as a surprise, because one of the most famous women in the world appears in a state of constant motion: jetsetting to exotic locale, wrangling four children, enjoying high-profile romances, shooting a 20-season reality TV show, and running a billion dollar empire.

Withstanding the frenetic, fruit-fly attention span of the internet age has everything to do with this very quality. Her composure has been her edge.

She has found success by centering her own expertise. "Anything I do is a solutions-based product, and that's always worked for me," the reality TV star said. She used to cut up her shapewear because the seams were always wrong and didn't fit her right. I would put coffee grinds and tea bags in my bathtub to make them look tan. SKIMS sold $2 million worth of garments in the first minute of its launch and was valued at $3.2 billion less than three years later.

She offers a solution to a longstanding problem: How to maintain a glowing visage. She said that she wanted to bring her knowledge to consumers. I've learned a lot from the best people and I want to keep that up. She has developed nine products to bring her wisdom to the rest of the world.

The development process is fun and the details are perfect. I didn't want anyone to tell me differently and I wanted to be still. My team would be like, "We're running out of time!" She said that it was important for them to take their time.

Prior to that, she influenced how the mainstream viewed beauty. Since her debut, the body standard has become considerably less attractive. She said it was difficult to stay relevant for a long time. People put on a lot of pressure to be an influence.

Even if other people don't understand it, you have to do what feels good for you. You have to decide what you want to portray.

In the last few years, she has become a vocal advocate for prison reform. She took her time landing on that issue. When I first got into the business, publicists told me that I needed to pick a cause. I was not sure what that was yet. I picked one that looked bad. I always believed that people deserved a second chance in life, even though prison reform isn't the most popular field. She realized that she had to keep people on their toes. The people like the mix of things. I don't think people would care if I just posted about prison reform.

She's not a blabbermouth and anyone who's watched her for a while knows it. She knows that her audience is waiting for her to say something and she speaks in measured sentences. She said that she stays calm and gets through a lot of situations. It's especially in work emergencies. You have to deal with them coming up. Things will always happen regardless of whether it's a supply chain or cost of goods. You have to be aware of what's happening in the world.

It sounded like a real person.
