My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
(This might be a little long, sorry!)
Okay, so I haven't posted here in a loooong time but I've been lurking pretty much every day. You ladies are ridiculously inspiring, by the way. :)
Here's a little bit of back story - I pretty much got over my "lazy stripper" phase and have been going in pretty regularly for the past month...even all the managers are surprised to see me so often these days! ::) I've developed somewhat of a schedule and just push myself to go in rather than mope around the house feeling lousy, broke and miserable.
Now that I've been going in pretty regularly, keeping myself motivated and keeping up with SW, I am no longer broke and have been saving like CRAZY...and lately I've seen all these motivational threads about making a certain amount of money in a certain amount of time, so here's the deal (hopefully it's also somewhat realistic) - I want to work 12 nights in the next two weeks starting tomorrow, which comes down to 6 nights a week with 1 day off (Sunday). That's REALLY pushing it for me and I know I'll be at my wit's end by that 6th night, but I think it'll be worth it. I'd like to average $800 a night - some days will be less and some more (thanks to regulars). It sounds pretty crazy but if the past three weeks were any indication, I think I can come close.
I'm planning on moving by October 1st so I'd like to have extra money saved up, pay off A LOT of bills and have a comfortable amount left over.
What do you girls think? Words of advice? Encouragement to get my lazy booty out the door? Tips for not stressing or burning out? :-\
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
Well its only 12 days in 2 weeks not longer. So from now I see it as almost over. Good luck to you though.
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
Good luck! Are you staying in New york? If you aren't I'm sure all your regs might want to give you good bye money.:) Which is always fun!
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
Yep, I'll be staying in NY...but that "goodbye money" is a great idea for when I'll be visiting LA...or anywhere else for that matter! :)

That's a good way to look at it, I never thought about it that way...usually I just start dreading going in so many nights in a row. Bah I need to stop being such a pessimist. ::)
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
Book yourself a deep-tissue massage for Sunday. You're going to need it, and it'll help motivate you to go in because it's only X more nights until that massage!
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
^ That's what I did on my two week trip! Saturday morning massage... made the night before bearable and the night of happy!
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
I second on the massage! When I was working my tail off for an event, I actually had a customer buy me a massage, as I was hurting pretty badly. It was wonderful!

Thses are things that help motivate me.
Develop a routine everyday that you work, this makes is easier to go in and get in the mind set to bank.
Also, maybe part of your routine should be depositing your cash everyday. When I have no cash on hand, I feel like I have no money and need to go in to make more.
Plan out your outfit and make up, this helps me get excited to go to work (almost like I'm going out, but not).
Work out, eat healthy, don't drink, and get good sleep. This helps your body not get burned out. Reward yourself on Sunday, go out to dinner with friends, shopping, a massage sounds good too.
The thing that helps me the most is developing the routine and sticking to it.
Good Luck and happy saving!

What the hell? Maybe I'll leave Texas for a while :) I could use a new car!
To the OP, good luck!!!! Just stay focused and you've got it!
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
About to leave now, I'll keep you guys posted! ;D
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
So I ended up getting my butt into work by 11, had dinner and was out n' about by midnight...ended up leaving the club at 6:30 in the morning with $1700 in my bag! ;D Apparently there were a few professional race car drivers at the club last night, and a Penske heir (as in Penske Racing) who took a liking to me...he was an arrogant pain in the ass but I'm not exactly complaining. ::) I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow...
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
^^^^
Congratulations! Only $7900 to go. In NYC, that should be no problem for you.
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
Good for you! That's awesome. I hope you make your goal.
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
Thanks guys! :) But now we might've hit a little snag - I JUST got my period today and I neverrr work when I have my period, because those first 2-3 days consist of me laying on the couch in a fetal position, rocking back and forth. I get it BAD. :-\ Plus I feel ridiculously bloated right now...I don't know if I should just suck it up and go to work (although I won't be in the right state of mind) or take 2 days off and make up for it on Sundays...ugh. :-[
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
$1700, that's amazing! I need to get to NYC. Don't work if you're not feeling up to it, you'll be in a horrible mood and it'll be pointless. You've already gotten off to a good start, maybe you can postpone it a little?
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
Thats amazing! I looooove New york City btw. what club do yo u work at??
Re: My Goal: Make $9600 in 2 weeks - here's how I break it down...
Okay, so now I'm trying to get back on track. ::) Took three very unfortunate days off lol and I'm going in tomorrow...and it should be a really good night cuz I have a regular coming in.
Bianca to answer your question, I work at Scores.
