bethenny frankel is one hard-working woman. During her time on “The Real Housewives of New York”, Bethenny has gone from being barely able to pay her rent in New York City back in 2008 to creating $100 million company called Skinnygirl. She's one of the rare women who has been able to push herself beyond all of her limits and create a product that is truly in demand.
This has resulted in her being able to sell her company to Jim Beam for over $100 million dollars, according to Forbes, and being able to create profitable products that resulted in her being on two reality shows in 2017.
However, Bethenny believes that there's a reason behind her success and she credits it to her hard work.
In a recent interview with Forbes, Bethenny Frankel opened up about her drive and determination. And despite running in circles with people who are highly motivated, make lots of money and sell some of the most expensive real estate on the entire island of Manhattan, Bethenny can't name three people who she thinks are just as driven and determined she is. And this is really surprising considering she works alongside some of the most hard-core people in their respective industries.
Bethenny Frankel knows no one like her in business
Of course, it does take driving determination to create a company that is worth over $100 million.
As Bethenny explains, she merely had a good idea and decided to act on it. During her early years on “The Real Housewives of New York”, Frankel decided to act on one of her ideas.
She wanted to create a low-calorie alcoholic drink for women that they could drink without feeling bad about the calorie intake and she wanted it to taste great.
She created her own skinny girl Margarita. She started ordering it at bars and eventually decided to start bottling it. She caught the attention of liquor company Jim Beam who issued a final offer for purchase while she was filming “Bethenny Ever After”.
"It takes a certain drive and determination that I don’t see in many people.
I can’t name three people who have the same drive and determination that I have," Frankel recently told Forbes.
Since selling her company, Bethenny has continued to write books, created more products for her brand, and continued to inspire women around the world. She dedicates her time to help women in need through her “Be Strong” charity initiative and she recently launched a line of deli meats to help women stay healthy, as they pack lunches for themselves. But don't expect her drive and determination to slow down anytime soon.
Bethenny Frankel's bank account will continue to grow
Recently, she announced she's filming a new reality show with realtor Fredrik Eklund from “Million Dollar Listing New York”.
These two will team up and buy real estate in New York City and then flip it for profit. However, the entertaining element lies in the fact that these two are very different.
What do you think about Bethenny Frankel’s comments that she knows very few people have the same drive and determination as she does? Do you think she's right in the fact that only a few people will be able to pull off the kind of success that she's had?
