How to hustle when you don't feel like it
Since the little search discussion is going on, I'll start by saying I tried to search for this but all I could find were threads with girls offering moral support when others said they were feeling a bit down.
My question is, how do you hustle when you just don't feel like it? Most of the time I go to work and I'm ready to make money, but sometimes I've had a bad day or I'm stressed or maybe the moon is out of alignment because I have to really push myself to talk to customers. When I'm in these moods, I'll pull about half or less what I could make on a normal night and I know it's just my attitude. It doesn't happen often, but I feel there has to be a way to still make money even when I'm not at my best.
So what do other girls do when you are in this mood to still make money? Do you change your hustle at all (less talk, more one liners)? Do you tell them you've had a long day and just need someone to enjoy a good time with or just pretend to be the life of the party and push through? I tried asking some of the girls at my club, and so far "liquid courage" was the best they could offer. I'm hoping people here can be more enlightening.

My best bet is to channel the crankiness into a somewhat more controlling dymanic. So, if i'm in a bit of a bad mood, maybe i will call out that guy who wants to tell me how cool i am, but won't give a single dollar. Somehow, that newfound assertiveness and feeling of control goes over REALLY well into multiple dances... its just like a "fuck you you are going to sit there and enjoy yourself, and pay me for the privilege" type eye contact and confidence.
I bank when i get like this. Not so much when i get the "whats the point its adead club full of losers" lethargy.

For me, I call up another stripper gf and have her give me a "you are so fucking hot" type of pep talk. If that still doesnt' work, I do an outfit change, practice smiling in the mirror a bit more, then hit the floor
If either of the 1st two don't work, I call it a night. No point in digging myself into a deeper psychological hole.

What other girls said, plus I really put a lot of effort into my stage sets. I pick an angryish song I can really get into and beat the hell out of the floor and the pole. I always feel better afterwards lol.
I also have a little notebook I keep for various things like customer notes, and also have little motivational quotes and hustle tips in there.
Re: How to hustle when you don't feel like it
When I don't feel like it, I take that "I don't give a shit" feeling and run with it. Instead of fighting it, work with the "I just don't care" mindset. For me at least, I usually make good money when I embrace that--it comes off to custies as the confident polar opposite of the desperate, trying-too-hard dancer whose body language is practically begging for a sale. So it can work.
I also go for one-line hustles...but that's not really an "I'm not in the mood" thing; that's just what I normally do anyway. :P
