    Default motivation to go in!

    So I went in tonight on a Sunday and Valentine's Day. I've been at my club for over 2 yrs, and while I worked many Sundays my first summer and caught some awesome clients just back from the Hamptons not ready to end their weekend, when the Wall St crunch came, I wasn't getting those whales anymore. So for the past year I've worked one Sunday and that was like a month ago.

    I hardly work, I'm very bad at coming in. I've lost many a regular due to my lack of being there. One guy came in 5 times over a few months on the 3 days I said I worked and didn't find me till #6... .

    ANYWAY, my point is, I'm fucking lazy and I didn't really want to go in tonight. But do to all the helpful posts on SW (and a little personal text motivation via Sophia Star ) I finally went in and got on the floor around 10pm when tonight we close at 2.

    Tons of couples... if you know me, you know I despise couples. I come down and go right to the bar, a cute 6'3ish gentlemen eyes me on his way to the bathroom. I see him a few minutes later and he's all about me so I go over to him. Apparently we had a great night together in November. I can't remember for the life of me. He remembers me though and came in for the 2nd time ever last night with me in mind.

    Wow this is long but point IS... I was not gonna go to work tonight. I had to kick my own ass and get lots of help. I dragged my ass in and had a 1k night because this guy came in hoping I was there. Not bad compared to nothing. I could have totally done way more even if I had approached any couples in the time I was out of the room, or hustled my guy even harder, but he came in like right as I got on the floor so I wasn't ready to rush him into VIP as I wanted to have a few drinks myself.

    So go to work no matter what! You could do really well really easily.
    Oh and we exchanged numbers to be more of a regular thing

    nice one! See Im starting to get this theory that I should work everyday because there is at least one night a week where all the girls easily make over $1k. All you have to do is be there on that night. If you are it re-motivates you and you end up having a massive week. Unfortunately I am on a dumb 8 hour/day course this week so working at all is outta the question.

    I went in last night and it was loserville. Made $400.00 but I think I gained a new regular. I only work two nights a week and Im trying to get as many regulars to come see me those two nights only. I figure if I limit my exposure at the club it makes me worht more when I'm there. I need to make 1,200 a week and i've been averaging 1,500 the last three weeks with 2G's the other night.

    The best way to get motivated is to reward yourself with something very nice. Work as hard as you can and reward yourself after work and you will be very happy. You are lucky that you get to work when you want. A schedule like that is a dancer's dream

    ^huh? I've worked in 6-7 different clubs and I've never worked at a club with a strict schedule. I mean I've worked places that tell you you have to work set shifts but I always do what I want and never get told off. I worked at one where you had to work 3 shifts but if you didnt want to you just paid a $50 fine. I thought the whole point of being an independent contractor is being able to be flexible.

    Unfortunately its not like that in my area. strict 4 day a week shifts 7-2am, one required weekend day. some clubs let you come and go when you want but they are the large 'warehouse' sized clubs with 130 or so dancers on any given night. fees are higher to dance at those places.

    Cash is my motivation to go in. I'm starting to build some regulars who come see me. They tell me I should work more nights that they can see me more often. I like only working 2 nights and making more money in the two nights than I was hoping to make so I don't see the need to work extra. I'm treating this like a business and using supply and demand. I feel if I limit the supply (Me) that there will be more demand when I'm there and it seems to be working. Has anyone else done this in limiting your schedule ?

    I'm not an economist, but I did get my degree in economics. Changes in supply do not shift the demand curve. Limiting your supply only seems to increase your demand because it can increase your price. However it also reduces your quantity, quite obviously. So this is a very general application and could be refined for the situation better, which I will think about, but here's the basic idea of a decrease in supply

    This also may cause a shortage at the old price. If prices are set at P1, say $20/dance or $500/hr VIP and you cannot raise them to P2, you will be operating on your supply curve of P1 and Q3. The shortage in demand can easily be filled by other dancers, since many men consider strippers to be close substitutes. However, this does not completely apply because the shift shown above is in market supply, and you're not limiting market supply at all. The club doesn't close when you don't work. I think you're missing out on money.

    I don't really understand how the idea is supposed to work. How do guys know how many nights you're there? Does your club have the same losers there every night or something? I just can't imagine a guy thinking "Oh, this girl only works twice a week. She must be really exclusive, I want to spend money on her now." I would think she only works twice a week? She either has another job or is doing something where she's guaranteed a ton of money those two nights.

    If you don't want to work more, I totally understand. I just don't think its a profit maximizing scenario is all. It could totally maximize your utility which is all that matters though.

    Wow, thats in depth. I work Thursday and Saturday nights. When a customers asks what nights I work I tell them those two only that I have a life outside the club, which I really dont have right now. It seems to work since two guys I danced for last night I danced for previosly. I made decent money and I think the guys look at me as a specialty since I'm not there often. Last night I had 10 guys get dances with the average of 3 songs per guy. the week before I average 8 guys a night. So it seems to work. as long as I make my 800 a week I'm happy and I've been averaging that the last 4 weeks so I'm happy.
