get your ass up and work - kim k


Hey there -

Whew. . . what a week.

I don't have fancy strategies to share today - today is a rant. But I'm sharing because I want to normalize the season we're in.

This week drained me.

> I traveled to 3 cities

> Had meetings from 8 am to 8 pm most days

> Had to cancel 5 meetings

> Got an average of 5 hours of sleep

> Ate like trash

> Never missed a workout

> Had to do labor cuts within our company

The grind that I’m in feels like 2021.

2021 was my first year as a full-time entrepreneur - and boy, was it a grind.

I vowed to never work that hard again, but here we are.

Although I’m playing at a different level than I was in 2021, I’m back in extreme grind mode.

I know I’m not the only one.

I was talking to a client and she said, “Right now is just a season of investment. And it’s not a money investment, its a time investment.”

Bingo.

This season is requiring a lot more TIME for leaders than any other season (since ~2011).

I say this to say, it’s the season we’re in.

We’ve been spoiled for the last decade(+), especially online entrepreneurs and creators.

The economy was up, supply was low, and money was flowing.

If you’re feeling like everything is changing right now, it is.

I hate to break it to you, but this season requires 10x more to win.

But there is a silver lining.

The ROI of hard work is 10x more than it has been over the past decade.

When the battle gets harder, more people leave the arena.

Views are down, so people will stop creating.

Sales are down, so people will close up shop.

The traditional funnels, webinars, and challenges don’t work anymore so people will quit altogether.

You get the point.

When the going gets tough, most quit.

The ones that stay in, have a greater opportunity to win.

Timing and luck has been on our side the past 10+ years.

The hardest workers didn’t get rewarded. The luckiest ones did.

Good thing for you, hard workers are going to win this season.

Sacrifice today to reap the reward tomorrow.

Get to work.

P.S. A recent poll showed that 90% of millionaires work 50+ hours a week. I know “soft life” culture is popular (and I may get canceled for this), but If you want to win, you have to put in the work. It’s that simple.

P.P.S This season won't last forever. Your rest will be greater if you put in the work now.

Happy Sunday fam - Its been a minute since I've come here and just shared some thoughts. Well, lets do it. I have a lot to update you all on. Update #1: I just finished a 10-day smoothie fast. No sugar. No processed foods. Nothing but green smoothies and some boiled eggs, fruit, or raw nuts if I got hungry. Why did I do this? Because I was ready to unlock another version of myself. We kicked off Brick By Brick and I've been blessed to work hands on with 15 founders to help them build their...

Hey there - I just dropped a video about Ashton Hall - the fitness influencer who's got everyone talking about his "cringe" morning routine. You know the one... Banana peels on his face. Ice water dunks. Saratoga water product placements. But while everyone's busy laughing at him, I'm looking at his numbers: → 9 million Instagram followers → 5 million TikTok followers → 3 million YouTube subscribers → $250,000 monthly income (and growing) That's more than most doctors and lawyers combined....

Holy cow - Something wild happened... Last week, I accidentally broke LinkedIn (in the best way possible) after grinding out content for a full year. The results? Mind-blowing: 7M organic impressions (not a typo!) 6,000 new followers overnight My DMs are EXPLODING with interview requests My calendar is packed with dream clients Want to know the wild part? That viral post only took 45 minutes to write (with a little AI sauce). I just recorded a behind-the-scenes video showing EXACTLY how I...
