    Instead of relaxing on your nights off, use that time to ruminate over how much money you're "missing out on." Text your DJ / manager to ask if the club is busy. At the beginning of your next shift, ask half of the dancers in the club whether last night was good or not. Remember this feeling the next time you take a night off, and beat yourself up about it for days afterwards.

    Quit running your side business because that money is "bullshit" compared to dancing money and "not even worth the effort." Convince yourself in the beginning months that making $800 a night is the norm for you because you're just that awesome, and the money will never slow down. Spend lots of cash on eating out, shopping, and manicures. Cause hustlers don't need no savings.

    Never exercise and eat junk food

    Sit around all day 'recovering' from long a$$ shift night before

    Now its daylight savings time so by the time you're ready to pull yourself together its sunset - any you haven't seen the daylight.

    Make just enough to cover bills

    Work only when you have an emergency come up

    Don't have a life or passions outside of dancing

    Spend all your money earned on drugs, eating out, and dumb sh*t that has no value

    Constantly compare your earnings to other dancers (who might possibly be providing extras)

    Instead of working consistently in your home town, procrastinate working endlessly, and channel your efforts into planning never-gonna-happen strip trips across the country. Take aaaalllllll of the energy you could've used to drive fifteen minutes away and walk into a real club, and instead sit on your ass and research literally every club in the country aside from your own.

    Spend literal hours browsing Yandy, weighing the possible pros, cons, and money-making ability of new outfits with the seriousness of a G8 summit. "If I get these shoes, can I do X pole trick in them? These other shoes are hot, but will they stay on if I wear stockings? Will this thong coordinate with the MAXIMUM number of tops?" Bonus burnout points if you never even buy any of it because it might not yield enough of a return.

    Because buying stuff just because it's cute would be too easy!

    Staying at a dying club because of one good regular and one manager who you adore. Not making money is the fastest way to burnout. If a club is not bringing in the customers, it's time to move on.

    Hang out on the floor and get drunk all night with the other dancers and bitch together about how horrible your nights are going. Don't waste your time on those few broke looking customers, none of them probably have any money anyway.

    Stripping is life, you are no longer a human being, you are now a stripper. Act like a stripper at all moments.

    Go to the club on your nights off. After all, it is your second home.

    schedule yourself for back to back shifts in a row..and be sure to throw in dayshifts after you've worked til the wee hours the night before. no spacing out your work days! you need to do nothing but get up, go to work, come home and sleep and do it all over the next day for 3 or 4 ( or 5!) days in a row.

    work at clubs with verbally abusive managers on a power trip, or pervert managers who expect to sleep with all the girls so you build up intense resentment and anger issues that bleed into your every day life. also work at clubs with REALLY high tip outs, so you have major anxiety greeting you at the beginning of your shift.

    when a customer turns you down to go dance with another girl, be sure and dwell on it and tell yourself that you just weren't attractive enough and that you would have gotten that dance if you had bigger boobs, or longer hair, or you were skinnier. take it personally when you dont get tipped on stage too. the reason that guy only gave you a dollar was because you are a failure as a stripper

    Good fun ladies! Let's see...

    1) Move to one of the most expensive and competitive cities in your country and pursue a degree at a prestigous university taking 6 classes a semester while still expecting to be able to dance twice a week AND intern. Oh, and in the summer make sure to work a second job (resume gaps are bad) in addition to dancing, and run a side business too! Because...tuition and fancy pieces of paper. Vaccations...what are those.

    2) REFUSE to take longer than the nominal 4 years to complete said degree, and instead of extending, start pulling three all-nighters a week and taking uppers to make such ridiculous behaviour possible.

    3) Work in a club where 90% of the girls are pimped out and drugged up. Where 50% of customers ask you to blow them and have the audacity to ask "why" when you refuse. Answer that "why" at least 15 times a night for months before just deciding to end these conversations with "because I don't want herpes...do YOU want herpes, because you WILL GET HERPES if you get blowies from the "dancers""

    4) Have your parents find out about your dancing and arrange to have an "intervention" with the pastor from your old church. Tell them you quit to stop the drama. And lie to your mom when she continues to ask you every few months if you are "doing that" again.

    5) Break up with your boyfriend so you can pursue your "best guy friend" at the same time. Because who needs a support system. Have "best guy friend" sleep with your first business partner. Then sit in your bedroom and smoke pot all day because NOW you've had enough. But not before that.

    6) Have a mental breakdown at school before an important presentation because you just had a shit night at work the night before AND THEN proceeded to stay up all night finishing ANOTHER project for ANOTHER class, and just CRY because this was your third night without sleep in a row and that concerta comedown is a fucking bitch and a half when coupled with sleep and nurtitional deprivation.

    7) Graduate. (Finally). Realise your degree from your prestigious university is just as useless as everyone elses and that even if you did take an entry level job your student loan payments would take up 25%~ of your monthly income leaving you with not enough to pay your other bills and survive off of. As a result of being unable to process this massively depressing situation, start drinking excessively at the club (where you are now stuck working), and when you come home from the club. Oh yeah, and start partying with all the cray party girls from work because FUCK IT.

    Yeah, we all make bad decisions sometimes. As long as you learn and move on it's all good. But it's much easier to learn from other peoples' bad decisions, for sure!

    I do that shit ALL the time. Same exact wording even: "Work either 7 hours or until $$ goal met. If not reached, work extra shift."


    Work in a club that is pretty much dead all the time. There can be money, but it must come in the form of an occasional customer that straggles in alone, after you have been stewing at the bar with the other girls about the lack of customers for the last 2 hours.

    Make sure every other girl in the club spends half their shift in the dressing room (especially the extremely overweight ones who lack any sort of hustle, whom you have never seen sell a room or even a 4-for-$100) talking about how they make "$1000 a night every shift in Vegas!" "Girrrrl that's nothing I made $10k HERE last Superbowl"

    On the day of your shift, instead of taking a couple of hours to get ready, start getting everything ready throughout the entire day. Or hell, even start preparing the night before! Cuz everything would fall apart if you forgot to take your water bottle or your lucky belly ring. This way, by the time your shift is over, you've technically spent twice as long working than you've been in the club!

    ^Lol, guilty (of most of the things in this thread actually ). This one is so true!

    *Only have industry friends, so that even your social life and interactions are work related and don't really allow for fun, or an escape. Or better yet, get a pet so you can cut off all human interaction entirely.
    *Stop buying new, nice normal clothes, live in sweats and spend all of your shopping budget on lingerie instead.
    *Hurt yourself and work through the injury.

    looking at other dancers stage sets or videos on youtube of floor/pole work and trying to do the trick, fail at it and then telling yourself you can't do it that you're bad at what you do and you're not gonna make any money if you don't know how to do it right away.

    Decide the club 10 minutes from you isn't good enough and instead commute to one an hour and a half away. Don't move to be closer to work. It's totally cool to make a long drive home through the middle of nowhere at 4am, several times a week.

    Escorting - accept appointments 2 hours away. In addition to time spent getting ready, that "easy 1 hour appointment" will only take up 6 hours of your day.

    Also, for everyone, (especially camgirls), keep agreeing to all sorts of social obligations requested by people who don't understand "what you do all day." You clearly don't have to work, or get ready, or commute, or recover from a long day. Keep your schedule as normal as possible. Get up at 8am lest you be considered "lazy" by normal standards, even though you go to bed far later. Party on Friday night even though you actually work on Saturday and will feel like crap the next day. Don't accommodate your schedule's new needs - just let everyone push you around on their 9-5 schedules because it's easier than explaining to vanilla people what your day-to-day is actually like. Proceed to resent job instead of them or your own shitty boundaries.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    I can identify with a lot of stuff in this thread, especially this. I got burned out from dancing about a year ago and still haven't managed to recover. Wish there was a guide on how to get motivated and excited to get back into it....I guess I'm retired now, lol.

    Stay in denial and tell yourself you like the job (when deep down you can't stand 80% of the drunk, high, rude customers) just so you can continue to earn money the quickest way you know how.

    Pay attention to what's going on around you only to see every single vice (drugs, alcohol, extras, etc) and extras girls competing with you - and winning- for top earner every damn shift.

    Work in a club that's dead 80% of the time then pressure yourself to drain water out of a desert.

    Allow the need for money to cloud your judgement and take on customers who are annoying and ask for extras then have to duck and dodge their ass the entire time.
