It’s no secret that Bethenny Frankel knows how to succeed in business.

She then appeared on “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart” in 2005, where her business was featured.

She ultimately was a runner-up in the competition but not the overall winner.

Frankel then made the decision that she credits for her “financial independence,” perInStyle.

In 2011, she started Skinnygirl, known for its low-caloriealcoholic drinks.

So you’ve got to rocket to the launch and stay on.

But how didBethenny Frankelmaster the art of entrepreneurship to find such incredible success?

“I’m not overly aggressive; I’m extremely fair,” she explained toInStyle.

“Everyone should be taking a risk but also having a reward.

I’m a very straightforward negotiator with buying houses and doing business.

I know what I want, the number I want, and that’s what I say.”

Indeed, it’s this business prowess that led her to finally sell part of her Skinnygirl business.

“I don’t have time to drink water,” Frankel said.

“I need a break.

I’m realizing, I’m taking on too much and I’m burnt …

I need some support and help.”

Frankel ended up collaborating with Beam Global, selling part of Skinnygirl for $100 million.

As for what comes next, only time will tell.
