Strip and Grow Rich! Does it really work?
I have heard of this online tutorial for strippers of all ages and experiences that is called: "Strip and Grow Rich". Before I invest $179 in it, I would like to ask my fellow colleagues if anybody tried this program and if it really works?
Thank you:-)
Re: Strip and Grow Rich! Does it really work?
There's already been quite a fair bit of discussion about this program. If you just search 'Strip and Grow Rich' or even 'SGR', you'll find them!
Re: Strip and Grow Rich! Does it really work?
i agree with bringonthemen, i saw this thread before and was afraid to be honest. youre better off reading this http://www.sacred-texts.com/nth/tgr/index.htm (think and grow rich ebook), research online about sales tips- because stripping is a sales job and read around hustle hut and practice your skills, sharpen them by experience.
but, some do like strip and grow rich, so i dunno...
Re: Strip and Grow Rich! Does it really work?
Don't buy that crap. I found one and all it WAS was common sense: aproach every single customer, kiss his ass, eye contact, hand holding, make him feel like a king blah blah blah. Some even tell you to look in the mirror every morning and say stupid "confidence-boosting" stuff like 'I am pretty' (i know this, i don't have to tell myself) 'I will strive to make as much as possible' (no, i'm gonna be lazy), 'I WILL REACH MY GOALS!' and set up your goals in life, list why you wanna be a stripper... pointless crap... Its a waste of money, just use your head- its common sense all you gotta do is be yourself and flirt a lot (which can sound contradicting to some people lol)
Re: Strip and Grow Rich! Does it really work?
yeah, i think its pretty sad that people make millions just by feeding off peoples desperation- like "buy this book and ill tell you the secret to life" kinda shit. not saying youre desperate, jenny just saying these how-to gimmicks are always a rip off.
Re: Strip and Grow Rich! Does it really work?
I bought it a long time ago. There was definitely some helpful content but I agree you could probably find a lot of it on here. The program outlines a system for categorizing customers and based on what kind they are tailoring your approach to best appeal to them. Me personally I didn't get much use out of it but I didn't really memorize it and try it out.
My biggest complaint was that the website seemed really disorganized. I watched a couple of the videos and then just sort of quit because it was such a pain. This was probably over a year ago though so maybe the website is better now.

I'll join the camp of people who say it's mostly common sense and a waste of money. I see nothing wrong with pumping yourself up with positive reminders and even watching a video or listening to a podcast to do it. But I'm put out I paid $99 for it. Plus the $20/month membership fee until I cancelled it months later was absolutely pointless. I never got a thing more for it, and when I finally cancelled it, I still received all my videos so it's not like I was paying to keep getting them released on time. It was the biggest rip-off and my main beef against SGR. I've paid more money for more useless things and $99 wasn't a ton for me at that point in time, but to keep milking me with a "membership fee" every month when that "membership" provided me absolutely nothing was such BS. Wish I had known sooner I could cancel it and keep receiving the videos.
It might take a little more time but you can find sales strategy and hustle tips here and elsewhere for cheaper or free. In fact, it might take less time since SGR only releases its videos a bit at a time to you. I've heard them explain why they do it, but it's still annoying to wait 8 months for a video that could've been helpful last night. They should let people decide what their own pace is, especially since some of the videos are just, like someone else said, positive affirmation stuff... I really need to wait until 5 months into the program to get to that? And then absorb it for a month until I get my next lesson? ...ugh

So funny I find this thread while I'm going through my SGR notebook and reminding all the stuff (I've been off dancing for a while and going back for 1,5 months, so I want to brush up my hustle and attitude).
I was sort of lost at that time and I felt like Avalon (author of the course) was my comforting big stripper sister. :D
I made good money before that but it was always up and down and I would get upset about rude comments etc. I had also started drinking a lot at work and couldn't work without alcohol anymore.
After completing the course I made stable good money most of the time, I rarely went home with less than $300-$400, $1000+ on the weekends. Most of the times I was a top earner and everybody kept asking how the hell I did it. I recommended the course to a few of my stripper friends, because I love to see girls do well. I don't think anyone took it up.
Mind you, I did all the exercises and took a ton of notes (I have a full notebook of SGR stuff). I think most people would just watch through the videos and not really engage in what she is teaching. I took it super seriously and it worked so amazingly well. :)
I am surprised by so many negative comments here. There is certainly stuff that you can find in the hustle hut etc, but for me this course was a game changer. It made me enthusiastic about stripping, it helped me quit drinking and led to many other positive changes in my life. :)
Re: Strip and Grow Rich! Does it really work?
I think it really depends on where you are in your life and in your career as a dancer...I wish I would have known about SGR when I first started dancing many years ago. It probably would have made a huge difference for me then, so I really dont think its a waste of money if you are new and/or feel a bit lost at what you are doing. But if you are already in a stable place with a good mindset and already making good money it might not do that big of a difference.
