    What gets me in the mood? ... $$ needed for up coming bills ... LOL.

    Seriously ... I like quiet when I drive to work ... so no music. I also have affirmations that I say out loud to myself ... feels good, helps me get into the zone and focused on my task at work that night

    Hearing music that was popular when I first started dancing... and making myself up so I feel good about how I look.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    That Slayer song, "Spill the Blood." That ALWAYS seems to get me in the mood to go to work, so I make sure I hear it at least ONCE a day.

    There's also that book Think and Grow Rich. You can get the print version and the mp3 version free here, I believe:

    Otherwise, if you're going to be meditating, you could do the EFT tapping technique. Some girls claim that if a person is committed to breaking negative thoughts or beliefs they have about money and financial freedom, they are more likely to have positive experiences as dancers. You can find out more about that here: . Mind you, it's not a site about dancing, EFT is used for many things, but it is a technique one can use as a form of regular daily affirmation or meditation. Lastly, the techniques in both the book I referenced here and the EFT tapping could also be applied to your current job.

    Cheers, and good luck.

    dont ask why, but listening to "damn it feels good to be a gangster."
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    I like to get ready at home. Listen to Nelly Furtado Man Eater and Promiscuous Girl while sipping vodka redbulls and champagne. Then stop at the local convenience store and buy candy raspberries, a poweraid and mints. The guy there knows me obviously now and always says. "You look beautiful! Good luck!". Then I hug the bouncer, MC, DJ, go straight to the bar, stick my ass out as far as I can and order a vodka redbull and the bartender high fives me and says, Jessi Jessie hohi nahi which means something along the lines of "there is no other like Jessie" in Nepalese. I usually say something along the lines of "fuck ya".

    I kid you not... I do this exact same routine every shift... I am completely thrown off without it.

    Coming in here and reading a few threads, while listening in the background to Cesar Milan's Dog Whisperer on TV (Nat Geo channel), and thinking that all the men that come into work are bad dogs I need to rehab, lol.

    Silly, I know but it does seem to help.

    ^ha, i do the opposite. i always throw a couple of dollars in my purse...dunno why but i seem to do better with some money already in my purse. i also listen to songs i like to dance to at the club and dance all sensually while driving...it puts me into stripper mode. and i always tell myself, i'm gonna make money and lots of it. if i go in dreading work, then i always seem to do worse.

    I get ready at home, read some Hustle Hut. On the way to work I listen to high energy hip-hop. I think about the attitude I want to project at work, and remind myself to just have a fun attitude no matter how things turn out (since I don't really need the money I make...I save it!). In other words, I brainwash myself into thinking I'm excited to work.

    I love listening to 80's rock music while i apply my make-up (do it b4 work) dance around abit while i choose an outfit that makes me feel sexy, and set myself a not so high target with a secondary target when i reach my first, dance music in the car on the way to work, and some encourageing words from the bf. A fizzy drink always helps, and a gossip at the beginning of the night with my mate about the weekdays then im all set

    If im still not in the mood, i look at my savings, which always makes me want to make it grow lol.

    xx jess

    I get completely ready at home, eyelashes, hair, makeup, pack my bag and make sure I have everything... and then jam out on my hour long car ride.... repeating positive manifestation mantras the whole time like a nutcase.

    for me the best way to be ready is be prepared, if I forget something or I'm late it throws my whole night off.

    Just to clarify ..... actually ... the purse isn't empty. My lucky $2 bill is there ! BUT ... I guess what I do is a little meditation of sorts. I take out all receipts / junk / ect. ( anything not needed for work ) and just leave lots of space for money and my gum! I only bring in house fee/dj money and then I know that ALL money I've gathered is profit.

    ^ ha, thats like me though it's not a two dollar bill, i always put two dollars in my purse, i don't know why it just feels like starting out my shift looking like i already made some money helps me make more money. absolutely no reason behind it, i just do it and w/o it i always seem to make less money if i go in with an empty purse.

    For me its ALL about the music. I get ready at home and I can start off in a great mood and get down on myself/lazy if I'm doing my hair etc in silence. But I can be in the worst dont-wanna-go-to-work mood, put on some good rock music or sexy RnB, and I'm good to go!

    Always a luck drink with my girls in the dressing room. There's like six of us who do it together. Really helps. We always says "To breaking hearts and breaking wallets!!"

    visualizing good scenarios where i'm making lotsa money at work before i go in.

    listening to music that i love dancing to or that reminds me of the 1st yr when i started dancing.

    caffeine...red bull, coffee, 5-hr energy, etc

    listening to BritneyIreland's DancerWealth videos while I'm doing makeup/hair at home..over and over...specifically the Stripperzone (2 vids) and Persuasive Communication Ones...over and over
