  2. Step 2

    Brainstorm a career area in which you can carve yourself a niche to be the world's first. Capitalize on your unique personality features and talents to locate a viable place for yourself. Be aware that, like Dickinson, you may be disputed once you claim a title. Dorian Leigh was considered by many in the industry to be the worlds first supermodel, but Dickinson took the title and ran with it.

    Develop a brand surrounding your personality and your title. Work hard on marketing yourself as the world's first and play this title up to potential business investors and partners. Make it seem as though they would be privileged to work with you because of your status as a pioneer.

  4. Step 4

    Make the rounds on local and national television and radio shows to support your claim of being the world's first. Display confidence in your title and be aware of competitors who will try to take your title from you.

  5. Step 5

    Act like a diva in every sense of the word. However, back up your attitude with a strong product or service. Dickinson is known as a diva and for her temper, but her modeling skills were strong.

  6. Step 6

    Consider copyrighting or trademarking your title so you can legally claim it. You also will have legal recourse if someone tries to dispute or claim your title.

Tips & Warnings
  • Mention your title to everyone you meet; it may sound cheesy or even be offputting to others, but it will spread the message.
  • If you are pursuing modeling and want to claim the supermodel title, you must modify it to fit your situation; Titles like "the world's first juggling supermodel" will not infringe upon Janice's long standing title.
  • Create a sense of mystery behind your personality. A little controversy surrounding you and your title is good for publicity. Allow a few rumors to spread just for the sake of public relations.
