    Default wish me luck?

    Going back to the clubs after a 4-month break. Well, not a break per se, but I spent the last 4 months at a stage-only club where all we did was go onstage every hour. No dances, no VIP rooms, nothing to hustle.

    Now I feel like a total newb all over again! I'm doing amateur night on Thurs for the club I want to work at, which will be fun.

    After that though...I feel like I've totally forgotten how to approach people, how to talk to them, what to say, how to sell...it's all a blank. I feel like everything I've got hustle-wise has vanished and I know nothing about how to talk to customers and sell dances. I'm starting from scratch all over again.

    Heh, maybe I should break out the very first pair of "training shoes" I ever wore as a dancer (shoes with a big chunky heel, lol--I still have them) and do my first night back in those. It's not the shoes that are the problem; it's the game-- do I still have it? I'm freaking out whenever I think about going back to a club where $$$ is made from hustling and selling. On one hand I'm excited about going back b/c the stage club had a very low earnings ceiling. Now I've got potential to make a lot more $$$...but the other part of me is freaking out and going "omg omg I can't do this!" I just really feel like I'm starting all over again and my sales skills and people skills have disappeared.

    Maybe it all will come back to me the first night I work again? Like the old "it's like riding a bike" analogy?

    I should not be so NERVOUS about going back to work! It's not like I've never done this before...but after months and months off, I feel like I've never done this before. Aaaaaaaaaa!

    Anyone relate?

This night is gonna end when we're damn well ready for it to be over, worked all week long, and now the music is playing on our time. Yeah we do what we do to get by, and then we need a release!" - Against Me!, "Thrash Unreal"

    hopefully! I took the break in the first place b/c I was so burnt out that I wasn't making any money. I made the huge mistake of letting work become the only thing in my life; letting my goals, hobbies and school fall by the wayside. No balance == burnout and feeling miserable. And burnout == no money. Which only perpetuates the downward spiral.

    This time around, I want things to be different. I'm focusing on going back to school, I'm going to get back into doing local theater, and I've got the goal of buying a small REO 'fixer' as soon as I can afford it. Not just aimlessly stripping anymore, but working toward tangible goals, should help.

    Now *deep breath*...to dive in and get started!
