Good tip on making money the entire shift
Idk if this has been posted before, I couldn't find it anywhere. I find a good way to make money and stay motivated your entire shift is don't count your money till your shift is over. If you count it while your working you may get too comfortable with what you have and get lazy your last few hours.

Oh too right!!!!
Bad bad habit! If I counted it and it was low Id lose face for the rest of the night, if I counted it and it was high Id get lazy.

Re: Good tip on making money the entire shift
I have to force myself not to count my money because I'm a bit OCD with where certain bills go in my purse lol. And I know that this just ruines my attitude if I don't make a certain amount by a certain time. Today I'll just throw the money in it's spot and go go go.
Re: Good tip on making money the entire shift
I learned that years ago and it's so true! I keep track of how many private dances I've done and just multiply it in my head by the cost of the dances. Any stage money I earn is an extra bonus at the end of the night.

I am totally OCD about my money, too. The bills all have to be facing the same way, and they have to be in order--20's, 10's, 5's, then 1's.

I....
-won't count my $ till the end of the shift (I feel like I'll jinx things...I'm so weird)
-always have a 20 as the visible bill in my garter. 100s and everything else go inside so i don't a. get discouraged with a 5 or a 1 and b. so I don't get too lazy and comfortable since i'm constantly remembered i have a 100
-set goals. They don't have to be "Oh, 5 dances in an hour" unless you want. The other day it was last call and there were 3 new faces and I made myself get a dance from each one before I could go home.
Re: Good tip on making money the entire shift
I never know how much money I have until the end of the shift. I do have a rough estimate if Ive been doing VIPs tho. I never thought about that - Ive never been a money counter.... maybe that's why I do so well... hmmm.. never thought about it.
Re: Good tip on making money the entire shift
Old tyme tip - thanks for mentioning this. ive even had a few dancers who mentioned that to not count your money before the night was over would be good luck for you. I have really tried to refrain from counting but sometimes you just have to - like when you make a fistful of cash on the stage. Sometimes knowing how much i have keeps me motivated to keep going, but sometimes it does not. I will count my cash and want to leave for the night if its over 200
Re: Good tip on making money the entire shift
I don't count my money until the end of the night either. I constantly think that I'm not making much throughout my shift so it encourages me to work harder. I always end up making more then I'd imagine.
Re: Good tip on making money the entire shift
I am a CONSTANT counter and organizer of my money. I'm going to try to not count in the rest of the week and see what happens.
Re: Good tip on making money the entire shift
Been doing this since day one.
Of course, then you learn to read how many hundreds you have by how thick your stack of 20s is though. :rotfl:
