What does a woman want? To love and to be loved. Realize yourself as a woman, mother, personality, professional. It is not always possible to harmoniously combine all these components. You have to choose between career and family. The biography of Natalia Dolgopolova is an attempt to combine all these realizations.
Dreams come true
Natalia was born on March 5, 1984. She was brought up with her brother in a foster family. Without suspecting it, Natalya will prove to the world and her foster mother all her life that she is worthy of love - this is a complex of many abandoned and rejected children. Since childhood, she dreamed of becoming a teacher. She played school with dolls, taught them and put grades in a magazine. And then she entered the teacher's college without even finishing the 11th grade.
In parallel with her studies, Natalia gained practical experience by getting a job at school. Therefore, the theory was given easily. After graduating from college with honors, the girl entered the Moscow State Pedagogical University. For a short teaching experience, only three years, Natalia Dolgopolova managed to work as a teacher,Pioneer leader, volunteer in orphanages. She has experience in a private expensive school and a center for disadvantaged children.
His Majesty the case
So the life of a young teacher would have continued, but one day recruiters from a modeling agency approached her on the street and invited her to a casting. Natalia was 22 years old, and, of course, she was interested in trying herself in a new role. Although she did not consider herself a beauty and, moreover, she did not think that she could be a model, her curiosity got the better of her, and now she is already being selected. The first experience of the model was participation in the New Year corporate party of a bridge construction company.
The girls were dressed up, made up and taken to the podium. In two hours, Natalia earned $100. Then it was half the teacher's salary. This impressed her. But after that, the modeling agency did not invite her anymore. The quiet life of the teacher continued. But that experience did not give Natalya peace of mind, and now she herself calls the modeling agency in search of work.
You can't sit on two chairs
She was offered to participate in a beauty contest on television. Natalya won it. But at school, both colleagues and parents reacted extremely negatively to the participation of primary school teachers in the competition. The girl decided for herself that she would no longer participate in competitions. But already during the summer holidays, she again turned to a modeling agency. When it turned out that she did not have a portfolio, she was offered to take a photo for future fees. Natalia Dolgopolova agreed.
She starred in commercials, for the cover of the magazine, many acquaintances appeared. The girl understood even better that the modeling business is a different world: a lot of people, impressions - all this attracted Natalia. But she did not want to part with her dream either, because she really liked working with children. Natalia Dolgopolova had to make a choice. She left school, deciding that she could always return to teaching.
Card holder
Natalia's life has taken on a different direction: she has become more eventful. Natalya Dolgopolova worked as a model for a total of two years. During this time, she managed to try herself as a co-host on television, act in films and tour Russia as part of the Podium group. During the year she visited several countries. There were many new acquaintances. Life promised only blessings.
But all this did not bring her moral or material satisfaction. And Natalya begins to look for a new job: she no longer wanted to return to school. There were offers with a high salary, but only in one direction: in the position of secretary or assistant manager. This did not suit the ambitious model. I came up with an idea for my business. A plump business card holder came in handy here: at all the events where she had to work, the girl carefully collected business cards and folded them until better times. And now they are useful to her.
You can try
Natalia began calling everyone with a proposal to select models. Fortunately, there were many girlfriends of models, and Natalia created her own database. The thing went. However, when there were a lot of orders, the question arose aboutcreating your own modeling agency. Again, a card holder helped her: an advertising agency was found, where they allocated a small room. Lawyers helped with paperwork. The owners of the IT company helped to create their website. All this was done on credit, under loan agreements.
Natalia Dolgopolova has been developing a business plan for a month. To take into account all the nuances, she turned to specialists. And now the business started working: six months later, it went out of the minuses to zero, and after another six months, a profit appeared. Finally, Natalia found herself. Her pedagogical experience was useful in the clear organization of the case, the establishment of discipline. Knowing the intricacies of the modeling business helped to avoid many mistakes.
Prince on a white horse
The modeling agency called BAZAmodel was small, but managed to establish itself in the market as a reliable partner. And everything would be fine, but Natalia Dolgopolova had problems in her personal life. In 2011, she gave birth to a son, whom she loves very much. She speaks warmly about the father of the child, but he was not her husband, and male support is always important for a woman.
A business lady who hardened her character on the difficulties of running her own business is hard to find a man. He should at least surpass her in strength of character. Otherwise, a good family will not work. So Natalia dreamed of a strong man who would take care of her and the child. And the prince on a white horse was in no hurry to appear. Therefore, when a friend invited her to go together to the casting of the show "The Bachelor" on TNT, she becameinteresting.
I'm good
My friend was late, and Natalia filled out a questionnaire that was offered to everyone. A day later, she found out that she had joined the second season of the show: 25 girls fought for the favor of the famous bachelor, businessman Maxim Chernyavsky. Filming began at the end of 2013. The strong character and iron grip that helped so much in business played a cruel joke on her here.
Natalya Dolgopolova showed herself on the show as a cold, prudent and aggressive lady. She was even given the nickname Gestapo. To which the business lady herself retorted: "We did not come here to be friends." Her critical remarks about the appearance of the participants in the show finally turned the girls against her. In addition, she withheld information about the existence of her son. As a result, Natalia dropped out in the third edition of the show. Natalya Dolgopolova failed to find a strong-willed partner in life with whom you can start a family. A week later, the country learned the other side of her character: she appeared in the post-show "The Bachelor: What Men Want." Here she was a vulnerable woman and a loving mother. Viewers have changed their minds about her.
Life goes on
Now Natalia Dolgopolova continues to navigate the ship of her agency's rough water business. Especially with the deterioration of the economic situation in the country and the demand for the services of the fashion industry has fallen sharply. There are not as many orders as there used to be. Therefore, in order to stay afloat, Natalia tries herself in related areas. She offers HR service Smart & Beauty - selectionpersonnel for companies. An advantageous difference from other agencies, according to the entrepreneur, will be the selection of secretaries and assistants not only with a good resume, but also with an attractive appearance.
Another Dress your staff project has been launched. Natalia realized that it was very profitable to sew and rent clothes for promotional staff. For many years she collaborated with one atelier, which provided models with dresses. The idea to separate all this into a separate project came after successful work with Vnukovo Airport. In 2010, the agency was involved in the design of clothing for the models who represented the airport stand at the EBACE aviation exhibition in Geneva. Airport managers liked the uniform very much and ordered a batch for their VIP terminal.
Natalia Dolgopolova can not only work, but also relax. He likes to drive a sports car, jump with a parachute, fly a paraglider. A strong woman also needs strong emotions - all this gives her the sky. And, of course, the beloved son who went to first grade.
