Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
Having a kiddo does it for me. I'm spending 7 hours away from her gurgling, loving, playful awesomeness in order to make her future better. Every minute of that time has to count.

That being said, if I have to be there until 7.30am, I'm gonna be taking advantage of all the drunk people still in the club and trying to make some more..
My club is open till 4 and usually you make your money in the last 3-4 hours but you have to be there by 9.
Even if I made all my money by 12 I'm still going to hustle because I drove out there, I got dressed up, I'm working. If I start to get negative about money I tell myself "stop complaining, you're not going to make any money sitting here being a whiny brat." If I'm being lazy I tell myself "fine go home then, there's no point in your being here wasting space if you're not going to work." (when I drive home I'm a bit nicer to myself...) Those two phrases usually get me up off my ass and hustling.
My goal every night is to make $2,000 before fees and sell 10 drinks. I've done the drinks several times but only made my money goal once, and I still hustled for another $300. I make my goals pretty high so I'm constantly trying to meet them and make more money. I get very competitive and will steal looks at the dance board to see who's the best and who has the top 3 most dances. And I also feel this sense of responsibility and pride with the DJs/managers/bouncers... if I don't do a lot of dances I feel really embarassed and like I let everyone down.
When I'm at work I'm just concentrated on making money and being the best. I can't leave early and I don't hang out because I feel like there's money that could be mine that somebody else is going to take. And I don't want staff thinking I'm a lazy worker.

i walk around the club hustle for dances. if im on stage and no one is up there i dance in the lights on the stage floor and amuse myself with the shadow effects or pole dance depending on the stage and club, when i get a dollar i do a happy dollar dance to stay positive and if i feel i'm not going to make anymore money then i attempt to go home if last call is called some places wont let girls leave. if i can't leave i just sit in the locker room waiting for the crazy stripper drama to happen thats always amusing when your not involved

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
I hustle for entertainment! drunkos are funny.
Just looking at the other posts, I'm kind of surprised by how many girls set specific dollar amount goals. As far as I'm concerned, my goal is $ASMUCHMOTHAFUCKINCASH$ as I can get my hands on. Sure, I have bills and certain amounts I need to make in order to survive, however, I don't ever focus on a number. I feel like it would be easy to then fall into the world of no drive/no hustle that sits around that thing called "satisfaction." So long as there is more money to be made, I'm not yet satisfied. Insert here that cliche about shooting for the moon and landing among the stars.
However, I did have a very entertaining pre-customer period early the other night at the club. One of the bartenders was showing off his new throwing knife, and he let me practice chucking it at a wall stacked with beer boxes in the back room. Haha.. That sounds so trashy, but I guess weekdays are good for that kind of fun. Who doesn't want to throw knives in the back of a titty bar? :oD

Geeez. If i wanted to read responses trying to make me feel bad about not being a top hustler i would have made a different thread! This was supposed to be a lighthearted topic, not a pissing contest :( Some nights when you just dont have a chance its better to have fun and remain positive.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
i agree kyaaa. just last night i wasn't making much and the guys were generally assholes not interested in dances. i stayed for a tiny bit longer than i normally would have but the whole thing was still bumming me out and i left at like 1:30. i maybe would have stayed longer if i could have done something fun to fuck with the customers 8)
i should have at least tried the 100 no's thing, i will try to remember when i want to leave tonight!
and i love the concept of the thread, maybe we'll still get some more helpful suggestions :)

Anytime I'm on stage and no one will tip, I break out my sweet riverdance moves.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
Once the room has died down and nobodys usually spending money anymore I get dressed in my normal gear a read a magazine while I'm on the floor. Or I whip out my DS and start playing Phoenix Wright. I've made more money this way because customers feel like like they are seeing the real girl and not a fantasy. I understand what you mean about waiting until safer hours to leave the club. For me leaving before my shift is over means a penalty fee so I stay until my time is up and wind myself down in the meantime.

I did this one time. Theres this theory that if you ask eanouph people, one will bite. I refused all dances and walked around the room asking for a vip. less than 5 people later, I got it. 3 hours and 2,000 later I had learned a valuable lesson walking into the dressing room wear everyone was bitching about the shitty night. Don't sell yourself short.
Set your goal, and everything after that goes in the pickle jar or bank for when you do get burned and need a break.
You have a limited time that you can do this, use it wisely.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
I get what you girls are saying - the club I'm in now I can come and go when I want, but the first few I started off in I had to be there from open to close, and there would be times when there was not a single customer free to hustle..when that happens, you need something to keep your energy up! I would always try to find something to make me laugh or feel sexy - reading books would knock me out of my headspace a little. Talk to the other girls about funny sex stories, your best nights, your stupidest customers...make up songs about your sales technique, or (if you have an iphone or similar) read texts from last night or some silly website (and if your club lets you carry a phone on the floor). Talking and laughing also makes you look like you are fun when a custy comes in - I've had guys come up to me as soon as they walk in and say they want to spend time/dance with me because I was the only girl in who didn't look bored...
Going to try that origami trick though!!

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
Kyaa, I've seen girls doing crunches and push ups on stage when it's dead. When I know that night is a total bust, I just go home early.

Once there was a bunch of idiots sitting away from the stage ogling without tipping so I started doing the PeeWee Herman Tequila dance. :rotfl: I'm a huge goof anyway and it was either that or start bitching at guys. It certainly got some attention. ;D

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
i like to go around around unbuttoning peoples shirts, i tell them im doing a pec-check, and while theyre distracted by a pretty girl rubbing their chest, i button their shirt crooked...and see how many guys are walking around with crooked shirts.
