Ask Tyson: How Do You Develop The Confidence To Deal With Rejection?

On the show Make Me A Supermodel, the contestants are told week after week that the modeling industry is fraught with rejection and no matter how hot you are, you WILL hear the word no, a lot. According to show co-host Tyson Beckford, it€™s not the face or body, it€™s skin that can make or break the model: €œA thick skin is definitely most important because you've gotta be able to take rejection." That€™s fine and dandy, but how exactly does one develop this confidence to handle the rejection and keep going? You guys wanted to know, so we asked. Read on for Tyson€™s answer.

Stylehive: How do you deal with all the rejection in the modeling industry and develop the confidence to just keep going?
Tyson: It just comes from anything that you do, like how do you get the confidence to do what you do, you know? You just gotta find that confidence within and just pull through if you want it bad enough. I think a lot of people that try to get into the business give up a little too soon. And then there's people that are in the business that don't understand "okay, you need to give it up." But only you, the person who's going through it, can make that ultimate decision.
