108 Model Rules: Have you ever been uncomfortable? In the modeling industry there are uncomfortable shoes, clothes, situations, hair accessories with heavy makeup and you will have no control over it. Do not complain, cry or try to fix it because you could be banned for life from the industry. Word travels fast and that%u2019s why successful models live by Model Rule #61. www.amazon.com/author/belindatrotterjames

108 Model Rules: Need some luck, a blessing, a break or anything and anyone that can get you through the fashion industry door??? You have looked for that opportunity everywhere except for one place. You look at it every day and never asked for help. The place you have overlooked is the person looking at you in the mirror. Every successful model has looked in the mirror and followed golden model rule #104. Don%u2019t take our word for it%u2026. www.amazon.com/author/belindatrotterjames

108 Model Rules: What the heck do you see when you look in the mirror? If it%u2019s a model, then the body better be tight, the teeth better be straight, your skin better be flawless from head to toe and if you don%u2019t know your brand, you better read Model Rule #37. www.amazon.com/author/belindatrotterjames Follow the rules on FB @ModelocityOnline

108 MODEL RULES: I need you from this moment on to look at everything that happens in your life as if your guardian angel is trying to give you a clue. Example: You have a major shoot this afternoon; however, on the way you got into an argument with a stranger. At the studio you doubt if you can pull off a good shoot because your emotions are on fire! Stop right there%u2026 Did you know that you needed that exact emotion for this shoot?

108 Model Rules: How flexible are you with your time? In the modeling industry you could be asked to do things for free just to get your foot in the door. Some influential industry people take advantage of this perk and could have you working for hours. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn%u2019t. Will you be flexible enough to know if a job is worth your time? Successful models follow Model Rule #102 to determine which direction is beneficial for their career.

***! Why are these symbols in my copy??

108 Model Rules: There will come a time in your modeling career (usually at the beginning) when you must decide to be a freelance model or a signed model. Don%u2019t get it twisted%u2026 when you%u2019re not signed it means you%u2019re not ready to be a paid model. I%u2019m not talking about $100 here or $500 there%u2026 I%u2019m talking about getting paid LARGE like $10,000 for a day. Agencies are trying to make that kind of money because they have bills to pay. Model Rule #10 wants to know are you paid or free? http://www.amazon.com/ Book: %u2018Unlock 108 Key Rules of Successful Modeling%u2019.

108 Model Rules: The body is a complex vessel that can make you feel nervous, frightened, and happy and the list goes on. When you are in a situation and a feeling comes up that may not be in your best interest, just breathe. The breath is your best friend and life line. This actor%u2019s technique is Model Rule #66 and works really well. http://www.amazon.com/ Book: %u2018Unlock 108 Key Rules of Successful Modeling%u2019.

BONUS Spiritual Model Rules: There may come a time in your life where everyone will love you. You%u2019re the type of person that loves to help and can do a job well with little to no assistance. You are loving life and life is loving you back. The people you see daily at work, colleagues at special assignments plus family and friends think you%u2019re the best. Then one day%u2026. BOOM! They don%u2019t want to be in the same air space. What happened!? Those positive vibes you%u2019re sending out is making you look flawless. People will start to get upset because life looks like it is treating you better. It%u2019s not your fault that they cannot get life to treat them the same. They don%u2019t even know that you have your own set of challenges. There is a lot of jealousy in the modeling world. When this happens to you just know that when blessings come enjoy the moment and send love to those who wish they had your life. http://www.amazon.com/ Book: %u2018Unlock 108 Key Rules of Successful Modeling%u2019

108 Model Rules: The world can be a scary place especially when your career involves traveling to unfamiliar territories. This is why it is good to have family and friends a phone call away for those times you feel alone. There is one phone call models should not make to family and friends. It%u2019s annoying and unless you are really in danger your calls can be upsetting to those who cannot get to you at a moment%u2019s notice. Successful models know that life will throw a scary curve ball in your path when you least expect it. This is why it%u2019s always good to know Model Rule #46. http://www.amazon.com/ Book: %u2018Unlock 108 Key Rules of Successful Modeling%u2019

108 Model Rules: Sometimes in order to get through certain doors of the fashion world, you need to call on the experts. Your photos have to look as though they were ripped out of the pages of Vogue magazine. Please don%u2019t tell me you want to do your own hair and makeup at your photo shoot because you did not have enough money to pay the experts. Excuses and not knowing how to get the shoot done without money means you have never read model rule #100. Get a life jacket before throwing yourself in the deep water. Especially if you can%u2019t swim! Imagine if a makeup artist came to a photo shoot without makeup brushes. You don't care if they did not have the money for brushes. Are you really going to let them use their fingers as if you are a connect-the-dots paint set? Get serious, save your money for a shoot and read model rule #100. http://www.amazon.com/ Book: %u2018Unlock 108 Key Rules of Successful Modeling%u2019

Hope everyone enjoyed the Father's Day Weekend and had time to relax. It does the mind and body good. Now let's get back to work with the next set of model rules...

108 Model Rules: Are you a model on a budget? Does your clothes scream "lack, limitation, struggle"? It's no secret why some models look like success and opportunities are always knocking. You just have to know where to shop and how to look at quality fabrics. All successful models who have a good working wardrobe must have read Model Rule #39. When you know what industry people wear, it's easy to go shopping for things that make you look successful and not desperate. http://www.amazon.com/ Book: %u2018Unlock 108 Key Rules of Successful Modeling%u2019

108 Model Rules: Pay close attention to the details of your life. observe the way you move, talk or interact with others. Those are the poses needed when you are at a photo shoot. Every time a new model gets in front of a camera they do not know what to do with their hands. So the hands automatically go on the hips. LOL! I can't remember the last time I put my hands on my hips. Learn to do natural poses. All successful models have the mind set of Model Rule #60 when it comes to remembering how to do a real life pose. http://www.amazon.com Book: %u2018Unlock 108 Key Rules of Successful Modeling%u2019

Not sure why those funny symbols keep popping up in the posts? Hmmmmm ! Please excuse and read through the challenge.

108 Model Rules: At times modeling may seem like play, but it%u2019s far from it. On a photo shoot thousands of dollars are on the line to produce a strong photo campaign. When you start giggling in the middle of a shoot, it shows your unprofessionalism. If a photographer%u2019s camera is click, click, clicking away, every successful model knows what he will yell because of Model Rule #91. http://www.amazon.com %u2018Unlock 108 Key Rules of Successful Modeling%u2019

There is something in life that you must have in order to move forward in any career. Those that have it seem to enjoy life better than those who don't have it. Some wish they had it and would give anything to know how to get just enough to get by. If you do get it, will you know what to do with it or how much of it to use at a time? All of the great runway models have it. What is it? It's Model Rule #44... Confidence. http://www.amazon.com/dp/BOOCHGHEDG
