    Default Working my first summer and it sucks

    So this is my first summer stripping. Even with my vanilla jobs, I have rarely worked during the summer. Since I was 14 I would work my ass off August through May and have an easy summer. I was monetarily prepared for a slow time at work since I'm in a college town and have read threads here about summer being rough. It's the mental thing that's getting to me.

    It seems almost like our club has become a local hang out and drink bar most nights. A few months ago I couldn't do stage work and still made twice as much as I'm making now. It's not just me either. The top earners with regulars aren't doing so well. Thurs and Fri were so bad that when Saturday went well, the DJ told me, "Keep the tip. It might be good luck to pass it to next week." I guess I'm lucky that the DJ and bouncers like me. They are trying to get me over to tables that seem like possible spenders since I'm one of the few that will tip when I have a good night.

    I took on a third day at the club and trying to keep my smile on while waiting out this dry spell. Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time going to work. On the other hand, I have a fear that the night I decide to not go in will end up being the lucrative night.

    I guess part of me is just worried and venting. And part of me is wondering and hoping it isn't just my club.

    I feel ya. In the summer, my average is about half of what it normally is at my home clubs. I also have a hard time getting motivated to go to work when I know what more than likely is waiting for me there.

    I have one club that is about 45 min away from me and another that's about 1 1/2 hr away. The closer one has a lower earning potential, and in the summer that number gets even lower. At the farther club I easily make over twice as much, and even though my average drops in the summer I can still do alright (especially compared to the first club). I probably don't work as much, because it's so far, but I make more so it's OK and it helps keep me from getting burnt out during the horrible summer months.

    WORK HARD. Push for the sale and maintain that smile. DO NOT get discouraged. Be the catalyst. Go out of your way to create action/excitement. Go above and beyond. You can do it. Make each shift worth your time...

    When it's slow it's easy to stagnate. Differentiate yourself and BECOME the life of the party. Encourage tipping/dances/vips enthusiastically with a sexy sense of humor... don't let the audience be bored or bemused by the sour faces of your coworkers.

    Slow periods aren't the time to "phone it in". This is the time to ramp it up and make the night yours. Pump it up and don't you dare slow down.
