KIM KARDASHIAN: I've been underestimated my entire career. And it's fueled me. MAN: Kimberly. My sister. KIM KARDASHIAN: At 16, I got my first job organizing closets, not because I had to, but because I wanted independence, and I really wanted to earn my own money. KIM KARDASHIAN: Then came the cameras. And I was on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Where's Kim? Kim is always late. KIM KARDASHIAN: Everyone thought they had me figured out. You don't have an excuse. They had no idea I was building. She's here. KIM KARDASHIAN: I wasn't just in the conversation. I was shaping it. SKIMS, KKW Beauty, every brand launch, every campaign was thoughtful and strategic. And I built billion dollar businesses. PHOTOGRAPHER: Look all the way to your right. KIM KARDASHIAN: I have honed 10 rules that I live by. Master them, and you'll create marketing that commands attention and build businesses that will scale.

And I sold them to Fred Segal, the biggest department store, of like, everything cool. I would always wear these headbands, and everyone would ask me where I got them. I said, I just made it, and I can sell them to you. And when they said they were interested and they made an order, I mean, to me, that was success. It was something that got me excited to know that you can come up with a creative idea and make it happen. I mean, I sold anything and everything. You brought me a weight loss pill and a cupcake deal, and Carl's Jr. And I was doing it all at once. Every deal taught me something.
