    Default attitude adjustment

    alright everyone, I need help! My club has been a lot slower the last few months then it used to be, so it is way harder to make money. Therefore, I feel like I go into work cranky and with a bad attitude so that even the few days lately where it's been busy I dont' make money because I am so damn crabby. i have tried taking a few days off, pampering myself, etc, etc and nothing is helping. How can I snap out of it?

    Here is what you need to do. The challenge is nothing is fresh and fun anymore so you need to find something you can focus on that will be fresh and fun while in the club. This is called a Pattern Interrupt. For example, I remember reading that every day, Bill Gates drives a completely different way to get to his office than he did the day before. He does this every day and he has been doing it for years. It's not because of a change of scenery, it's because he wants certain patterns broken that cause different levels of creativity for himself.

    So, rather than think to yourself, "Sigh...I guess I better go to work tonight...it's gonna suck because it's slow but I do need to go in", you need to change the way you strategize about going in.

    For example, tell yourself you are going to use one new sales technique tonight that you have never used before and you are going to use it ALL night with every customer. Maybe you're going to use a new approach system with customers tonight that you haven't done in the past. Maybe you're going to ask one new type of rapport-building question with every customer tonight that you haven't in the past. To really enhance this, write out ten different strategies that you can do differently on ten separate pieces of paper or 3X5 cards. Then throw them all in a fish-bowl and choose one (no cheating!) each night. Bring it with you to the club and tape it to the inside of your locker.

    Now you've take a case of the "blah"s and turned into something with a purpose that you can fun with.

    Re: attitude adjustment

    I dont know if this will help you but I lay awake last night thinking about when I will be going back to dancing (am still trying to organise a suitable dress!) and I thought of a way that will help me "get into character" as knowing me, I will need to do this to keep me from getting frustrated too quickly or being too shy (yes, this does happen!).

    So, I thought of it like this:

    Think of the club as a decedant cocktail party and you are dressed to the nines! Look at all these people who are just dying to meet you and you them, so many interesting people and so little time! You must make an impression, god forbid anyone go home not remembering you so smile and be genuinely pleased to meet every new person! Get a kick out of making these stuffy people's day, too many people dont make an effort and dont shine, this is your chance to shine!

    Im hoping it will work for me and I hope it helps you in some way

    i once made a goal of trying to talk to as many people as possible (no easy task for a natural introvert), but it worked! even if they didn't buy dances i made people smile and have a good time (which makes me feel good) and got to learn new things from them. yes, think of it like a party.

    My Mood
    Confused

    Default Re: attitude adjustment

    i filter my anger or frustration into my hustle. when i go into work in a bad mood i am in no mood to hear "no" so i think of ways to keep from hearing it. i also have no patience for jerks so i spend less time just sitting with a guy because he's still running his mouth. i get a little bossy and it turns a lot of the guys on and i tell them i'm going to get exactly what i want, then i get it. i also tell myself i'm going to be even more upset if i let this mood keep me from making any money and the more i make the easier tomorrow is going to be because i'll be ahead of my budget (which is always good).

    also, DW is VERY right. change things up a little. try husteling games with other girls and other tecniques to break the mundane. change your music up, try a different look each night, approach each customer differently than you did before. if you drink at work try not drinking for a night or two and see if it helps. there are so many little things you can do to change your work night and just going through the process might help.

    good luck!!

    I've been having the same problem lately... it's NOT good.
    I actually decided to dance to music I don't usually dance to, try "spice things up". I ended up dancing to 80's songs the entire night, and it really did help a little.

    I definately think trying different things at work make it seem a little bit less of your normal, suckey work night. I just really hope things get a little better soon.
    With all the stupid things guys will say, stay cool.

    I have been doing a couple of things lately so that I don'turn into a complete bitch at work because of all these cheap guys lately. I force myself to smile--even when I am at home. I watch a funny tv show or think of funny, happy things. Forcing yourself to feel happy will feel forced at first but I've gotten used to it, and can let things roll off my back at work and smile big for the next customer.

    Also, with every dance rejection, I get more determined to get a yes. I don't allow myself to feel bad for myself--but just walk on and talk to another customer. The more I do this the better I get.

    Also, to keep me sane, I only sit and talk for 1 song maximum. Towards the end of the night I only introduce myself, and wanna dance while standing up. This gets me to as many customers as possible without tiring myself out making small talk with customers who do not intend to spend. Good Luck!
