    Default stop me from going back into a slump

    hi guys, hope you can help,

    i left dancing close to three years ago now, and moved back to retail.

    towards the end of my dancing career, i started getting really lazy and stayed in the dressing room half the night because i didn't want to deal with customers anymore and sought out regulars to keep me company rather than making money from "fresh faces" i had a hard time 'playing up' to guys and flirting (i know most of this was because i was in a new relationship and soooo in love) but on the whole, developed some really bad habits where i would finish a dance with a regular (after talking for half an hour) then go sit out the back with my phone until another regular customer came in. they didn't even have to be MY regulars but the club's regular patrons, i was just seeking out a comfort zone. i made less and less money until i approached management to get a reception position there.


    anyway, to the point. i am starting back dancing this weekend after so long. i am definately not going back to the same club but a new one that's just opened up. i have committed myself to only one night a week (i am keeping my day job) and am going to keep in mind that i am there strictly to make a target each night. but i am so worried that i'll walk in there and immediately fall back into my slump of not wanting to approach guys and quit soon after.
    i am coming back because i want to save money for surgery and i want it by the end of this year, i have let myself down before (i returned to my old club a year ago to save for it and lasted two nights )
    how do i make a fresh start?
    how do i stop myself from falling back to those bad habits?
    i know i can never be that fresh faced 20 year old i was back when i started but i need some motivation to last at least 6 months this time.
    HELP!!!!

    You just have to keep reminding yourself you're there to make money!! Sitting in the dressing room, talking on the phone etc. is not making money! Maybe put a picture of what you want to look like post-surgery and put it in your locker. Remember the more you make each shift the less time you will have to strip. If you see a new customer and feel like you don't want to approach, tell yourself he's here to spend and go get him! Good luck! Try not to allow yourself to think of how negative it was in the past. This time around is different, you're stronger, more determined. Now go make some money!!!

    thanks lyssa lynn,. i know what to do, it's just putting it into practice again after a few years. i think the nerves have got me too. you are right when you say it's different this time, i am stronger and know my mistakes and have been able to identify mistakes that other girls make when interacting with customers so ultimately i should be making more than what i used to. i guess it's the nerves of going back as the new girl. and that's also good advice about seeing a customer i'm not interested in approaching, he IS here to spend......we hope...
