    Try a new club? If your club has an exclusivity clause in your area travel outside the area. It might even feel like a vacation.

    This was going to be my suggestion. A change of scenery has always been helpful for me. If it's just not possible, maybe try some different shifts? Like, if you're a night girl, check out days. Or vice versa. Or work days you don't normally work. It'll still be somewhat of a different scene with different clients and girls, plus you'll encounter new club regulars who see you as fresh meat.

    If you can, a part-time vanilla job might be worthwhile. It'll help ease the stress of making money since you'll have a paycheck coming in, and it'll also give you a bit of a break from the club, even if you'd be working in both.

    As well as the above suggestions some smaller things can help too, perhaps new outfits, change the way you look, hair colour, make up-look at pics of yourself looking your best-remind yourself how hot you are, think about how great you feel when you make loads of money , get your confidence back up-don't push yourself too hard. Reading some philosophical stuff helped me (including The Secret!) And some other stuff written about money-google 'Money Quotes'

    thanks guys..yeah i am going to try out different clubs i think. i've been at mine for over a year..also pretty much had the same monotonous life for a year which is weird for me because im so used to constant change and i always liked it. i have to go to work in about an hour and im really going to try and keep positive! last night i was a basket case and cried for the last hour of work in the dressing room (embarrassing!). the girl who crouches down beside people's tables for for 3 minutes and asks "wanna dance?" earned twice as much as me lol, i think maybe its a pride issue more than it is a money issue because doing badly at work really affects my self-esteem.

    That's probably a big part of it, if you're used to constant change and now you're in monotony. Randomize what days and times you go in at maybe, or I would definitely say you should switch clubs for a while. If it's feasible, maybe traveling would help. I find that taking a short vacation to a new city when things are too "same old same old" really helps.

    I can totally relate to that. When I don't make much money it seriously knocks my self esteem. If this is happening regularly its obviously going to take its toll. Something that helps me is to try and emotionally detach from work, I remind myself that one bad week or month doesn't invalidate my self worth. You're a queen no matter what, just gotta ride out this tough patch.

    thanks guys!! tonight i did a little better. its was weird. i realized that i was being negative and EXPECTING a no and when i asked for a dance i was too tentative. this time i assumed the sale, and i pictured them saying yes in my mind when i asked. like i would ask and then think " yes, yes YES. you want a dance. you're going to get a dance" and i swear on everything holy, every single guy i asked after that said yes! i earned twice as much as yesterday ( not saying much, but its a start) and im feeling a lot better. im still planning on switching things up, but at least i've learned a good lesson! thanks for the replies guys, its made me feel better too

    I'm a Dallas girl too; I get close to a burn out mode every month or so if I work like 4+ nights a week. I do like others say; try different hair styles/colors. Try working different days. Find small factors of things I can control... Like how long I sit & talk to ppl... When I am burned out I shorten that time, ironically that usually works wonders because it forces me to closer harder & faster. I also notice I burn out faster if I am drinking more so I try & cut back a little

    I keep a notebook & kinda journal about my shifts; new sales ideas I used what worked what didn't. I do this so when I hit a rut. I look through & see what I am doing different, like not approaching single men etc. and see what worked other times to get me out of my last rut or two... Keeps me from taking the business personal.

    Couldn't agree more, even small things like changing where I wear the parting in my hair or going from my normally heavy eye makeup to a more natural eye for a couple of nights gives me a little boost. Small things like this probably won't help a great deal once you've reached complete burn out but they help prevent me from getting to that stage.
