I dance in Portland Oregon and normally do quite well. On average I leave with $500+, am a top earner and have thousand dollar nights once every week or two. Part of this is the club I work at, it attracts a lot of businessmen and travelers which means a lot of high earning potential for the dancers. There are not many clubs like this in PDX.
A couple days ago I paid off my boob job which will be happening at the end of this month. Now more than ever I need extra money and of course right after paying for my boobs work becomes horrible. Last night I left with barely $200 and tonight I left with fucking $100!!! Now I'm not trying to be offensive by putting down these numbers, I understand that is average for some girls and locations and that's understandable. However for my particular club and specific situation, I find this sending me into a state of mild depression and fear of not making the money I need, even though its just a few poor days at work.
I'm aware this week is slow not only because it's rent week (first of the month) but also because Memorial Day weekend just ended. Also it was first Thursday in Portland so that slows things down.
I'm curious how other girls handle an unexpected bad week, and which of the following ways you guys think I could best handle things:
1. Take a few days off, recharge, review sales techniques etc and then come back
2. Try out a different club for a day or two, then return to my current club. That way I'll be in a new environment rather than the same one I've been failing in this week
3. Stick it out this weekend and keep working anyways, it'll pick up again soon enough
After having a crappy night Wednesday I was pretty much in mode 3, but after tonight was terrible too I don't think I could handle another awful night at my current club, especially 3 days in a row.
Any thoughts or advice is appreciated

This is the exact encouragement I needed. I think I'll go into a different club tonight
