This question is directed to all the Models that have found success in the fashion industry. It is a very competitive industry, that require specific qualifications to reach certain heights. I have great potential in this career path, but I feel as if I've hit plateau. I've gotten experience in runway shows / picture modeling, but I'm having a hard time transitioning into paid work. Partially because i'm stuck in a crevice between paying bills with my part-time job (completely independent..), and trying to push a career in modeling / acting. I've honestly haven't had much time to go to attend casting calls.
  I digress, The question I have (and everyone else) is how to transition from  "I model.. On the side" to a full-time career. From finding success in your modeling career; what would you personally recommend? What events lead to groundbreaking moments in your career?
