Modeling Success: Ivana Brcan on Embracing Individuality, Overcoming Challenges, and Striving for Balance

Q 1. What inspired you to pursue a career in your field?
Ans – I really like the work I do, I enjoy what I do. I am inspired by the people I meet, the places I shoot at, I love the fact that every day is different and dynamic.

Q 2. Can you share with us some pivotal moments or experiences that shaped your journey?
Ans -The moments that shaped my career and my path are each new contract in different countries. Through work and people, I become more experienced and mature every day. Each day in itself carries some lessons.
I am sure there must be some special moments but it’s not coming in my mind now.

Q 3. How do you stay updated with the latest trends and developments in your industry?
Ans – I don’t follow trends. My opinion is that everyone is unique and has something unique to offer and the best they can. I try to be the best version of myself, so I can offer the best to the world around me.

Q 4. Could you elaborate on any particularly challenging projects you’ve undertaken and how you navigated through them?
Ans -The most challenging was the competition in the beauty pageant . When you compete with others, you are often competing with yourself, with your ego. That’s how you really get to know yourself best. I learned many lessons from that competition and it helps me further in my career and life.

Q 5. What do you consider your greatest professional achievement thus far?
Ans -We always strive for better and bigger, it’s a process that never ends. Although I like to see myself on the big screen, so let say a music vides as I given 100% of myself.

Q 6. Can you share any advice or lessons you’ve learned throughout your career that have been particularly impactful?
Ans -The most important lesson I learned never compare yourself to others. Competition in modeling, as in any business, is big. If we were to compare ourselves with everyone, we would lose ourselves. No one can be you and that is your advantage. And at the end of the day, we all have different goals.

Q 7. What are your goals and aspirations for the future, both personally and professionally?
Ans – I generally don’t talk about my plans, not even with people close to me. I believe that until plans become reality they can easily be spoiled. I also read it somewhere ‘’Man plans, God laughs’’ which is so true, most of the time things we plan are not going in our way.

Q 8. How do you maintain a work-life balance and ensure personal well-being amidst demanding professional commitments?
Ans -It is very important to maintain a balance between business and personal life, but it is not easy. In my case, work and private life intertwine, although I try to make the best of it and create a balance. Maybe the hardest thing is when I’m shooting day after day, then seems I don’t have a personal life.
