I am having a great business idea so I want to invest in it. So, besides the new home/ renovations/ one more car and of course, paying the house credit, now I need about $10k for the business.
I get into this challenge.
I will have some hours goal, instead of money goals.
For the moment.
I aim to work like 8-10 hours per day.

Hey all!
I have been crunching my numbers and I NEED to earn at least 2500 dollar a week (360 a dayx7 /9000 a month)
to save up for the vacation in may + to set aside 50% for taxes and savings + to pay of a current loan (my parents have been so awesome to give a loan when I needed it when buying a apartment, and I am behind on my loan because I have been sick a lot the last year)
I want to be on track with my payschedule with my parents when I leave for my holiday
Its really doable, but I do need to get on everyday and do my hours, so it wont stack up
I am on track for this week so let the games begin!

Struggled last week to make my weekly goal, but I feel this week is going to be much better. I MUST find a place of my own to live because my current situation is driving me insane, so that's another thing I'm adding to my goal list. Thanks Kortney and IvyRose for the motivation! You ladies truly inspire me in every way possible!

I thought about this^
yesterday when I had 2 shitty houres. I took a short break and turned it all around by changing up my attitude. Doubled what I earned (which took me 2 houres while having a shitty mindset) in just adding 30 minutes with the right mindset

I absolutely love the discipline quotes. I am a person with lack of discipline and having theese quotes on my desktop, makes me get back on track easier, either is workout or work.
This one is my all time favourite. It's always putting me on thoughts and makes me feel bad about myself and recover fast from "slacking" times.

Ladies..fuck yeah! You girls working 10 hour days plus, especially those of you who do free chat consistently, I bow down in awe.
I love this thread, it makes me so happy!
I am getting there..been on 4 hours already and I definitely feel able to go on at least 4 more. It is very hard on days like this, when it really is slow, and until I get a new laptop I won't be able to splitcam with more than Skype-based sites..BUT I am still doing well, and staying on!
I am increasing my daily minimum to 8 hours, we can do this!
xxxluv
02-08-2017, 11:57 AM
Yesss Ladies, you all are doing more then wonderful! I know it will continue you as you put in the work and it surely pays off!
I started off slow this week, I do not like to make excuses but my monthly has been trying to kick my booty. Then whenever I decided to run a few errands everyone wants a cam session or phone requests come in.
I will not let that dampen me as I keep marketing selling videos, snap membership, and my white label/ affiliate income has been the biggest payments so far I had to sit back and think what did I do differently.
Not to mentioned the texting, my little fingers go a mile a minute no matter where I am at :)

Girls I think I have made a mistake in setting my hour goal
I have been listening to my partner to much, he thinks, offcourse that more hours equals more money
and that by doing more houres you can just chill out and cash it in because it will follow
Well it doesnt work that way, at least not for now on sm
I also noticed that I do enjoy giving 110% a lot more than sitting around and reserving energy mode
so I say screw those insane hourblocks (untill I have my regulars back)
I am going back to my 2/ 3 hour blocks because my money is hurting more and more each day I am continuing doing this
Its a frigging exhausting work-out in every aspect (face, voice, body, movement) and I simply cannot keep that up for 4 houres at a time
I am going back to my Marilyn ultimate Vixen style, because I loved the money way better

I don't have a money goal but I do want to work the entire month of February. Looking back Feb has been the month I work the fewest hours & days. My last off day was 27 Jan.
Arwen25
02-09-2017, 03:48 AM
Fell just shy of 8 hours yesterday, but it wasn't a great shift!
Today I am going for another 8 with one break!
@Ivy: That sounds like a good plan, 3 hour bursts, especially if you're working free chat. Maybe you could just offer Skype shows when you're starting to feel burned out in free? x

02-09-2017, 09:37 AM
I heard that Jan/Feb was really quiet similar to escorting but while the sites are quiet somehow goals are still being met. I am completely on track to make this Winter Hustle my bitch.
I am sitting for longer hours than it should take - 6-12 hours a day, straight because if I physically log off I don't log on again that day if I go on break for 10 mins to regroup I can sit it out. I should be a lot further into my goal clocking up those kinds of hours however I am still grateful of the dollars I am accumulating. Thanks again to Tsani if she ever reads this for her spreadsheet, without which my motivation would sag a lot more easily.

Its a frigging exhausting work-out in every aspect (face, voice, body, movement) and I simply cannot keep that up for 4 houres at a time
I know it's individual, and some girls can pull off long hours, but I agree with you on this, Ivy. If I'm doing free chat, I'm completely focused on my room, and sustaining that for stretches longer than 2-3 hrs isn't within my capabilities. I'm not a Broadway star! (And even Broadway shows don't last over 3 hrs, anyway.) If I don't pay full attention, they don't spend, so it's a waste of time anyway.
Having been off free chat because of bad health since about October, I'm taking a really gentle approach to going back. This week I'm doing 1.5 hrs a day, next week I'll try 2 hrs/day, then if my body doesn't rebel, I'll add another shift at a different time of day.
The rest of the time, it's phone, skype, and all the other stuff that doesn't feel like a workout.
IvyRose
02-09-2017, 12:18 PM
Thanks DancesWithSloths I completely agree =)
I had some sour days, because every start is hard and because I was "suffering" from a very bad case of , and make my freechatmemebers suffer" spoiled camprincess syndrome.
I went greedy and whenever I sit in freechat focussing on solely money and my own ego it NEVER ever works out
I know I have to make my mind blank again, and when I embrace within myself the quote from Zig "you can get everything in life you want, if you just give enough other people what they want. " than I always have a amazing time and money always follows Afterwards
Its harsh and unforgiving when you are facing freechat bec you get feedback by the minute about your state of being, but its also a great learningcurve and will help to make me a better person, not only at work but also in life
This will be my real start, at 10 february, because I now know what to do now
ALSO I will be getting back on trach again with really clean eating habbit and remving negatives out of my life as much as possible.. because I cannot do one part of my life without changing up the rest of all those negatives in positives
I am dealing with a yeast infection too, because of the harsh medication (double antobiotic) I had to take for months at the end of 2017
So I am forced to really eat clean, because medication are not helping at all without clean eating (no sugar at all, no starch, limited fruit, only fresh food no premade... even no coffe.. so its gonna be STRICT)
When I am at it I am also gonna take out my tv time and replace it for reading books (salesbook, motivational books) and playtime with my cats and going outside in the sun. Because I know the tv is not giving me any extra energy those other things can provide me
NOW I will be getting in thew zone
for realz
Doing as little as possible while expecting tp reap the most is never working out for me. Because I will get inpatient and pushy, which is never a good startingpoint when in a salesjob
Gotta focus, give them 100% of my personality and sexuality, and reap the fruits of enjoyment of knowing I did my utter best even if it doesnt pay out immediatly.
It will pay out in satisfaction and in being stressfree while being in freechat because I wont have to think nor worry because there will be no time to do so; I will be working my body and mind to hard
If my mind is focussed at makes sale- 100%, I know I can turn freechat into a salesground easily, turning every remark made at freechatmemebers back into a possible sale
PS I am gonna "protect" myself, and gonna be from the startpage of sw straight to my personal page (subscriiptions) into this thread without going into CC, when I am to unstable to deal with negative threads showing up on top.
Silly but thats how unstable I am right now. I am in need of energy and positive vibes, and gonna provide that to myself

Your Minimum Goal: $10,000
Day You Will Start: 02/09/17
Date of Completion: 05/09/17

Been watching this thread and thinking of how amazing all of you are, time to join in and challenge myself! I’ve been living in a negative situation for 3 years, and have realized I’m only in it because I stay in it. I'm ready to change that. The $ from this challenge will go towards a worry-free move with some left over to live on afterwards while settling in and adjusting to a new area. I’ve never done something like this before, so I’m excited to stay positive and push myself to the heights I know I can reach!
High Goal: 20,000
Minimum Goal: 10,000
Start Date: 02/11/17
Completion Date: 05/11/17
Completion Reward: Worry-free move and greater self-confidence!

Today's my day off bbs, treating myself to a museum date- but wanted to drop some weekend motivation. I might have to head out of town for a few days, but I'll still hustle my text/phone gigs. I'm slacking by my standards and can't wait to be back to werrrrk. Already contemplating breaking my own date with myself just so I can make more money, meal prep, and clean my home, lol. Fuck a day off!

I dug myself into such a stupid place financially over the last year due to poor physical and mental health, this is the perfect challenge to get my shit together. Working 90% on Streamate but who knows, maybe I'll branch out a little bit this year.
High Goal: 30,000 (1500ish/week)
Minimum Goal: 15,000 (800ish/week)
Start Date: 02/12/7
Completion Date: 06/24/17
Completion Reward: Get out of the province and get a place with my amazing boyfriend. 15k gives me enough to be debt free and a nice slush fund for an apartment, 30k means I'm looking at houses. I would really really really like to not be renting anymore <3

Yassssss today was insanely busy. I got up to $800 and had to deny shows. I know it was around 5 when you were at $650, how far did you go? Let's hope it keeps up all week. I think the guys had to spend a lil on us, their online favs before taking wifey/gf out to dinner and smexy times for Valentine's Day haha.
Congrats on your piggy deposit. Don't you just love it when you block them and they beg to be back and pay up just to get back in your good graces? lmao. Here Piggy, piggyyyy.

Thank fuck it's MONDAY!!!!
I hope everyone in the challenge is receiving all the good benefits of putting in that werrkk.
I've been doing something lately that's really been allowing me to accomplish more in my day. I've been either writing it on a post it note and sticking it on my phone screen before bed, or forcing myself to answer the question of "What do I want to accomplish, today?" Simple question, not really groundbreaking at all but it puts your day into perspective.
I wrote down things like fitness, more water intake, and hustling money for a bill I owe next month. I'm going to make sure I execute everything on that list because I have the choice in how my day works out. Omw to the gym now and will update my ticker after my day ends.
If you're needing a bit of daily discipline or motivation, ask yourself what do you want to accomplish today, and make it happen. The day is going by anyway, may as well get something out of it.

Hey Goth,
I don't suffer from sleeping too much, but I do suffer from wasting time while depressed, or not wanting to get out of bed(awake, just motionless). It sometimes is my explanation for being away for days, or weeks, too. Camming really can be a great job for someone in our position becauae you can take off the time you need if mentally necessary.
It can get severe depending on the episode and how soon I snap out of it. I have issues sleeping so when I do finally fall asleep at the butt crack of dawn, I usually get enough. It's what I do during the day that fucks me. I'll sit in front of the TV snacking or stay in bed surfing the Web, sometimes not even leaving my room other than to eat (en suite). This will take me offline for days, weeks if I allow it.
But I find its easier to get out of bed if I have something to accomplish or execute. So if I know I wanna look hot by summer, I'll make sure I force myself to workout for at least an hour 4-5x a week. Imagining how I'm going to look and feel in the future outside of that dark moment usually lights a fire under my ass.
Also, daily medication and positive affirmations for 5 min when I wake up, and making sure I eat organic or at least healthy meals. Energy is amazing when you're feeling crap and these things usually keep me out of the bed. And money goals for shit I want or places I want to travel too. It's hard, but you can change your mind/mood if you push yourself until it becomes a habit.
Not saying the depression will go away, but the episodes won't last too long if you have goals, and before you realize it, it'll all be done by habit. Exercise is also proven to help lift moods and even cure depression in some individuals. Oh, and herb too, I puff occasionally.

Thanks Kourtney :) I wondered if i was the only one that suffered episodes of paralyzed depression that keeps me offline for days at a time. Reading this def gave me some hope. I know the money goals I have & usually that lights a fire under my ass but the past week has been kinda rough. I want to move away fromwhere i'm at currently & after this past weekend of having unexpected car repairs arise I feel defeated.

Have been struggling with depression for a long time, even have been in a semi closed treatment centre for it years back
I have to be very aware of not oversleeping and catching a bit of sunlight outside- every day. If I fall back in my old tracks I will be heading twards depressions again fast
When I sleep more than 8 hours I will be more tired than when I sleep less, and it become a bad routine.
Not going outside has been a problem too, because I do notice it will get me into depression quicker. Dealing with anxiety and body-image issues though that make it hard a lot of times to even go outside let alone sit in front of a cam
I made a schedule and try to keep it whatever it takes, because than I have something to be proud of. Also when I do not follow a set schedule I tend to get higher anxiety and I will be going to Obsess about my makeup (were a talking about 5-6 hours to get ready, if I let anxiety in)
Sometimes its really hard, I am hitting a rough spot since a couple of days back

I'm so happy we have time to heal and the opportunity to take our time in our industry to reach our goals. SW is really a blessing. Any other job we would've gotten sacked, lol. It's really nice to work and have your bills covered, and afford to be able to take as much time as needed off.

omg yes I know :) If there's one thing in my life i'm grateful for is this job. Camming has really saved my ass & opened up a new door for me, much more than dancing ever did for me. These threads have been awesome inspiration for many of us here :)

Well, the good news is that I'm squarely on target for the challenge in terms of hours, and doing pretty well from it financially as well.
The bad news is that I've just been handed a really hairy assignment at uni, which would ideally have me spend exactly the same number of hours studying as I do camming each week. I don't know if I can handle a 48-hr work week, fatigue & depression have been kicking my butt all winter as it is, and I don't want to get to summer totally burned out.
I'm going to need a new plan of action.

Whenever I focus my mind to draw in more positive energy and more abundance it comes so much easier, was texting and selling videos as much as I could since I was not able to do any camming. I started back jogging / running this week as well and the week so far has been great!!!!
