    Duh First Day

    So Yesterday was my first day at the club I got hired at...I did really shitty and didn't make any money, actually I owe money and the house mom is mad at me because after i got off the stage i would use my phone in the dressing room but only to make sure i had a ride home since I wasn't making money. She thought I was just playing around.

    I was supposed to get the the club at 5:30 for "the club rules/rundown" but my ride took me at 3, so by the time 5:30 came my energy and mood was down. I had a lot of fun on stage though, kept me busy even though I was so nervous lol but i didn't get tips. One the floor I would approach customers from time to time, maybe they could tell I was nervous or just weren't interested, even tried the "new girl line" but that didn't work either. I made convo but it never lead anywhere. I sat next to the bar by myself most of the night which is SUPER BAD... i know but I let my mood get the best of me and the worry that I wouldn't have enough for tip-out(which I ended up not having).

    There was one guy who made me really sad because he pretended not to speak English when i approached him... Another who rejected me after he asked for a girl and a waitress pointed to me. I shouldn't have let that bother me but it did.

    I'm really disappointed in myself, honestly. That I let my mood and the fact that a few guys weren't interested, ruin my whole night. I thought i would've at least made some money even if it was just a little. I want to try again tonight but also I dont. Usually rejection doesnt bother me but maybe its because i was in such an unfamiliar place or maybe i felt out of place or maybe the new girl jitters

    Also there were two really nice girls who talked to me for a bit, they told me it will get better and called me pretty... I was so happy they weren't mean.

    I should've approached more customers, that definitely something I need to work on and also how to approach... Also probably work on my stage presence. It was only my first day so I really dont want to give up and also I'm in dire need of money so I do need to hustle more.

    Any more bad first day stories? How did some of you ladies get over the nervousness/ first day jitters? Please tell me it gets easier.

    Aww well first off congrats on your first day Secondly, don't be to hard on yourself sweetie. The first day is a hit or miss some girls do great and some don't. I don't have tons of dancing experience but i have had the bad first day in which i only made about 18 bucks lmao. The house mom was furious with me as well cause i didn't have enough for tip out and I wasn't giving up my little 18 bucks cause i needed that for gas money to get home lol. Honestly all you have to do is work on your confidence and maybe your look or w.e but confidence is key. Once you feel like you should be there getting money you will. Keep studying hustle hut and most importantly go to work! The more you work the better and more confident you get. Hope that helps a little and hopefully some of the more experienced girls will chime in with better stories for you.

    Thanks! I cried last night when i got home lmao but I'm feeling better. I'm thinking I will go to work. If not today then definitely tomorrow... before they start charging the house fee. I know I can do this if I put my mind to it!

    It's not any of the house mom's business what you are doing ( as long as not illegal in the dressing room ). You are an independent contractor and if you go back and pay your fee's , you choose how much on the floor time you want and how much time recovering in the dressing room you want.

    Go easy on yourself. A first day at a new club is often a " get comfy " day even for experienced dancers so simply try again. Don't go too early next time until you really dial in your hustle a little more unless there is a big incentive like a much lower house fee if you arrive earlier.
