So after a conflict with a customer that I had last night, that later turned into a conflict with a co-worker..... I have come to realize that my mouth is ruining my hustle.
Last night, although pretty slow, could have been a great night for me, but I ruined it. I talk way, way, way too much. I start these conversations with customers that get sometimes heated and it totally ruins the vibe. And it's all MY fault, too. I talk during dances right when a guy is into me. I also stop between dances in the VIP and start talking, when the guy wants me to keep dancing. What the fuck is WRONG with me??? I need some tough love here....someone tell me to shut the fuck up!!!!!! I am bringing myself down as a dancer, and hindering my earning potential.
I am one of those people that talks alot when they are nervous. I have been trying to cut down my drinking at work, and have been doing a great job at that, but my $$ has suffered. Since I am not as buzzed as usual, I am a little more nervous, hence the motor mouth. When I am buzzed I actually talk less....I know that sounds weird.
Have any of you ever had this problem, and overcome it? How did you do it??
I don't want to go back to drinking alot, I have been doing such a good job. If I can just overcome this talking thing, it'll be perfect.
Please do not respond with "Well if you have to drink, maybe this job isn't for you" That is a whole other conversation, it's way old and I have been through it many, many times, sorry. I am not ready to stop dancing right now, and like I said, I want to hear from people who have had a similar problem......and how they solved it.
