    Default How do you motivate yourself to go to work?

    I work a lot lately, but some days I just don't feel like working at all. It may be one day a week or I may feel like it consecutive days in a row. Let me tell you, on those days it's really hard for me to get my ass off the couch and go get ready for work. I still say to myself that I need to make my monthly quota and if I don't go, I simply won't make. I still go even when I don't want to. For those of us who don't have strict clubs and schedules, how do you motivate your self to get up and go?

    What I often did was listen to music that would get me pumped up on the way to work. To get out of the house, now that's another story lol. Sometimes I just can't go.

    this is going to sound bad but..if i'm really, REALLY not wanting to go, then i won't. chances are, i'll be miserable and bored and angry that i have to be there and it will show and i won't make anything anyways.
    or, think of something fun you wanna do. like for instance, i really want to get my hair done this week so i say, " i'll go in and make just enough to do that." then after i've made that, i'll go " i just need to get 4 more dances" and then " 2 more dances" etc. then by the time i'm out, i'll have enough to do my hair plus a lot more.

    And this is why when I can't leave the house, I don't go. I've tried it several times, but when I would work on days I didn't want to it was obvious that I didn't want to be there and didn't really bother trying.

    If I really don't feel like working, I don't. I'll suck on stage, I won't care to hustle and it's a waste. If I'm just blah or unmotivated, I remember all of the things I can do with the money I'll make or start thinking about the people I might meet. If all else fails, I'll call a friend of mine to meet me there and hang out until I get into my groove (he has a free cover pass, so it's not expensive.)

    I've always just made myself. The only time I just won't go is when I'm tired. Drinking+tired+dancing= not good. I don't get super pumped for work like I used to, but I do enjoy getting ready and the drive there. (Kinda..)

    I watch sunny in Philadelphia on my phone while I'm getting ready so I can get a few good laughs in before I have to fake laugh at customer's lame jokes and stuff all night.

    Have you guys ever tried using a buddy system for sticking to a schedule? Meaning, using someone from SW, someone who works at your club, or someone who works at another club in town to motivate each other to go in? It seems like that could be effective. Schedule a phone call a couple of hours before work and have a quick, upbeat chat...

    I like having nice food. If I don't go to work, I have to eat cheap. This is adequate motivation. Also I am the only one in my household who could legally work until recently, so I had to think of someone other than myself.

    I sort of have. I've worked with someone from SW who I trust and it made going to the club a lot more fun. It does help me get motivated for sure and I'd probably be able to stick to a better schedule, I just live too far away.
