Something that I posted in "You know you are a camgirl when..." made me want to create a whole new thread....so here it is!!
I had been feeling a little bored and burnt out lately, and then had a bit of a realization this morning....this job freaking ROCKS!
I mean really...I was thinking to myself that I haven't been making "enough" money lately, and blah blah blah. Then I realized that I was thinking this while sitting on my balcony in the sun at 2pm, and the "not enough" was still around $30 an hour (appalling!). Lets think about that for a second...if any "normal" person saw this as a job posting, they would be leaping all over themselves to apply:
"$30 p/hr + (up to $200 p/hr, performance dependent)
Completely flexible hours. Work whenever you like, as many (or few) hours as you like.
Unlimited vacation and sick days.
Work from home
Freedom with dealing with customers - only work for those you choose to.
Apply any time."
If I had seen that ad before I got into the industry, I would have assumed that it was a scam!
And lets be honest, even if the money was miserable, I would still do this!! If I could only do one job, and I was choosing between this and, say, managing a store, or piercing (which I used to do), or admin....I would choose this one for the same money. Frankly, if I had to choose between this job making 50K a year, and being a lawyer (I went to law school) for 100K, I would still choose this one, because I would hate to have to work 60+ hours a week...
So I'm going to stop getting frustrated that I "only" made $30-40 per hour. I'm going to stop acting like a spoilt brat, whining (in my head) about having to actually WORK instead of lazing around reading and sketching all day, and remind myself that I am incredibly lucky to have such an incredible job.
With my new mindset, I had a lovely day on cam. No, I didn't bank. But I did actually enjoy myself. I finished without feeling exhausted and miserable. I felt grateful to be working.
So maybe tomorrow (or today!), just take a few minutes to really think about how lucky we are to have this job! I can't promise that its the secret to making a grand today, but it maybe is the secret to making today grand!![]()
