Amazing! I think this video is so inspiring for us, the people who wants to become a successful model like you Daniel. This story is really surprising because you dont know where life can take you, so you really need to work on what you feel is the right thing. Great job and i wish you more modeling years for the rest of your life ;)

[@lancebach]

IF I WERE YOU I YOU WOULD MAKE JESUS YOUR MADE TO COPY. READ WELL!!!! ISAIAH 53 1 WHO HAS BELIEVED WHAT WE HAVE HEARD? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED? 2 HE GREW UP BEFORE HIM LIKE A YOUNG PLANT AND LIKE A ROOT OUT OF DRY GROUND. HE DIDN’T HAVE AN IMPRESSIVE FORM OR MAJESTY THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT HIM, NO APPEARANCE THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM. 3 HE WAS DESPISED AND REJECTED BY MEN, A MAN OF SUFFERING WHO KNEW WHAT SICKNESS WAS. HE WAS LIKE SOMEONE PEOPLE TURNED AWAY FROM; HE WAS DESPISED, AND WE DIDN’T VALUE HIM. PRAISE THE LORD!

[@jessiemangala6019]

I've always been self concious about mine and from this video I could only get more inspiration in changing them... cheers.

You are absolutely amazing and a really good role model and would love for your tips to me as a small model ( I am going to SA's this year that is what I mean by small model :) ) Hope you respond I would really appreciate your tips

[@rasheequeroshan2531]

GREAT STORY! Imagine if you just said "ok well I will wait" .... You'd probably be stuck. THIS is the ultimate (believe in yourself...especially when someone else does) video.

[@bemebe1298]

12 years ? CONGRATS Man !

[@aaronbeal2607]

Amazing video Daniel!!! I have just started my modeling career. Absolutely love watching your videos and getting advice from you. What's the one thing you wish you would have been told about modeling that you now know? Also any advice that would help me along this Journey?. Thank you and keep the videos coming! Power, Respect!!! ✊👊💪

[@DLMMensLifestyle]

Thanks Aaron 😃🙌. I wish someone warned me not to trust people easily in the entertainment industry. All the best with your modeling career!!! Focus on your model portfolio now, you got to build that up fast. I will make a video about 5 modeling tips for beginners. Keep your eyes out. It is coming soon.

[@aaronbeal2607]

Thanks Daniel..... can't wait to see that video!!! The portfolio is looking great. Lots of variety. Love the channel!!! ✌💪💯

[@illenessOne]

Now see, if you didn’t have the confidence and believe in yourself you can do it, you would still stuck in your old agency that told you not ready, but you didn’t listen and you went for how you feel. Therefore, look where it took you .. always follow your instinct and believe in yourself not what others are telling you . Thank for sharing such experience it’s truly inspiring and did teach us a valuable lesson to always go for what we feel we can do not what others think we can’t do.

[@DLMMensLifestyle]

Your welcome 😁👍. This was also the time when I learned this lesson

[@sespotlhaselo9315]

[@invisibleman4827]

Cool story, dude. Maybe one day you'll get noticed and become a movie star. 😉

[@jhs3591]

Hi just discovered your channel when it popped out as I was watching some videos about God. So I originally saw you there and just saw your other channel here. Since I was interested in lives of models because I am a dreaming of that job before but with my height of 5’1 and curvy figure, I gave up on that dream. I am a 33 year old single female now so I know that dream is over. Anyway I got myself a stable job that pays low but still in my heart I like to be a model and my obssesion from that keeps lingering the more I watch model’s youtube channel. I like following their diets, workout, skincare, fashion styles. So at least even in lifestyle I can experience it hahaha! But I am also passionate about health and fitness but I have never found a good looking model like you who is also a preacher. Its too good to be true but you are real! I wish I could find someone like you in God’s time. Been praying for that for 2 decades haha! You are inspiring and very attractive and godly person. What can you ask more.. I hope you’ll be more successful in life and wish to watch more of your videos even if its more suited for men. But I enjoyed watching you.. Godbless you Daniel🙏

[@youngbloodchen]

Hi Daniel, I'm from Taiwan. No wonder you look so familiar to me. I guess I've seen your pictures years ago on the magazines or newspapers of Taiwan!

[@danielesu9046]

[@makkhan660]

You are really a Nice Personality!

[@taoabrah2172]

hey Daniel thanks for the inspirational video

[@DLMMensLifestyle]

Your most welcome 😁

[@alltheway3]

Daniel, appreciate you sharing your story and also the other videos you've done especially the poses and expressions video. Coincidentally, I've also started my part time modelling work in Taiwan which is where I'm still based now, while I learn Chinese. I realise it's been a while since you've worked here but I wondered if you had any tips for the market here (or Asia) and how I can be more successful. Thanks again!

[@DLMMensLifestyle]

Hi James. Thanks for the kind words😀 When I was in Taiwan, I remember that I worked hard on my posing when I was home, so that when I am in front of the client and posing at the casting I would never hesitate between poses. My book was bad at that time and the clients booked me mostly because my posing impressed them. So that would be my first tip (get your posing to a level where you feel very comfortable and good in front of clients so that they can see you are confident. 2nd always be professional from the moment you walk into that casting room even if the client is not looking at you. They do scan the room every now and then and you want them to have a great 1st impression of you. Some models act very stupidly in the casting, by laughing or talking very loud. You can see how the client gets annoyed sometimes. I have a lot of other tips in my model book if you want to check it out. Remember to develop a very good relationship with your agency, because they do have the power to push you more for jobs. All the best

[@alltheway3]

DLM Model Lifestyle this is amazing, and the swift reply is super appreciated too. My posing could definitely do with some more work, especially if I want to do more catalogue stuff. I'll read your book today. Please keep up the high quality videos, I always learn something!

[@neilnysta4112]

I think you are the best of the best of all the Male model...

[@kikachukwuezedunor8678]

Hi Daniel, I really want to be a model, I’m really passionate about it. But one thing that keeps getting in the way for me is my weight. I’m 6ft and 182lbs. I don’t look bad body wise but I don’t have a flat tummy and I’m also not very muscular, and I feel that could really hinder my future. What could I do to change all of this? What kind of diet, what kind of exercise? I really hope you see this.

[@commentservice3419]

Wanna be a model like you Daniel...but know not what to do It looks GREAT for ya...

[@DLMMensLifestyle]

There is a modeling for beginners playlist on my channel with many videos in it that can guide you. Check it out 🙂
