You will see from the above list that it all begins from the right mindset. You need to be mentally prepared for the industry and what’s to come. A shock to many, but as a model you must be business savvy — know how to set yourself up as a sole trader, keep up with your admin tasks and most importantly, learn how to network and grow your contacts. Self-confidence is also a must to become a successful model, if you doubt yourself why should the clients believe in you?

Your look is your biggest asset, it is your product, so make sure to upkeep your physical appearance, and it all starts from within; good nutrition is vital. As a model you will be getting your hair and makeup done professionally for shoots and shows, but you also need to know how to do your own hair and makeup, plus learn what to wear to castings and interviews. Runway techniques are essential to a professional model, and this will also translate into your casting etiquette.
